some 12-1/2 hours later ...

my new chair arrived today. i built it, with minimal instructions, from parts provided.

here it actually is, in living color, in my workspace. oh, yes, i work here.

did i mention that i love working from home? oh but i do. it's the bee's knees.

so far i like the new chair, yeah. it offers significantly better back support. i shall have less pain heretoforth.
