Today is one of those days when i sit and think if I'm the only one crazy in this world.
I am not able to work. Not 'cos I'm sleepy or bored. Reason is chair. Yes, the one you sit on to work at office. I am so particular about this, its making me crazy. I walk around testing and checking chairs all over the floor till i find the right one which usually takes more than an hour. To me the chair should be perfectly aligned to the desk. Unfortunately most of them don't in my office and its the first thing every morning that spoils my day. I know very well this is sounding crazy and most of you are thinking i need psychological help. Guess you are right. But once i find the perfect chair, I'm back to normal.
My workmates get so irritated with me while I'm searching for the right chair, they all ask me to check their chairs if its the perfect one. How sweet of them right? But they do this just to make me stop run around the floor. Obviously they don't want to start their day listening to my "Where are you" screams.
One day when i found the right one, wrote my name and drew stars around it so that i could identify the next day. Next morning i could not find it. I'm guessing someone who hates me took it to a different floor just so i wouldn't find it. I did think about going to every floor to check every chair for the one with stars around my name. But i don't want to look spooky, you know? Don't want people complaining. I still love my job.
Obviously i can't buy a chair, get it to work and take it back home end of the day.
Is there a solution to this?

ReplyDeleteThe Chairs are different for each person ?
May be next time when you find the right chair, you should chain it up to your work place. :P
Yes Ajay.. They are different. And most are broken too.. :-)
DeleteI'll try to chain it up.. :-)
Fix to a chair and write to HR asking them to instruct facilities not to move it as you have medical condition :)
DeleteWe can instruct facilities.. But what about others like me? If my chair is their perfect chair.. They would take it away.. :-(
DeleteAnd that is precisely why if you go to public offices -although they're also on a massive cubicle culture drive- you will often find chairs tied to tables with chains and cords!
ReplyDeleteha ha.. :-) okie.. i will try to tie my chair to desk with cords.. :-)
DeleteIt's really interesting. I believe this is the place where we can express ourselves. Keep it up.
ReplyDeleteQuite interesting. Kavya, this is the place where we can express ourselves. Keep it up.
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading Ananth.. :-)
DeleteLol!! Ask Anyone in my office I have done the same... I have my CHAIR which is marked and the office boys know to keep it where it belong (yeah right my workstation)
ReplyDeleteLucky girl.. :-) Hope one day i get as lucky as you are.. :-)
DeleteThanks for reading!!
You can chain the chair to your work table. We do that with chairs we give to our patient's relatives to sit beside the bed. It works.
ReplyDeleteYes JK.. I'm going to tie the chair to the table.. No other option left.. :-)
DeleteThanks for the suggestion. :-)
see the problem in a bigger perspective - why do you need a chair? Sit on the floor and work!!! It would solve the problem once for all :)
ReplyDeleteI was actually thinking about this.. Guess it would be better.. I can sit under the desk to work and sleep maybe.. :-) :-)
