New work environment needed

I need a new office chair, in fact I need a whole new office environment. Every day I sit in my rolling swivel chair and periodically readjust myself from the edge of the seat to a position where I am sitting back completely in the chair. Before too long, I’ve slide, without notice, back to the edge. This is most annoying!

As I sit working away on the computer, on the phone, pouring over maps and plans, I’m unaware of the time until I look up and see that more than an hour has passed. I stand up to go to the restroom, pick something up from the printer, or go to a meeting, and WHAM it hits me! My whole body unfolds into an explosion of minor but much felt pains and aches. My knees pop, and I have to stand a moment before getting a move on. Oy, getting old sucks, big time!!!

Then there’s always that creeping insidious time, after lunch when my eyes get heavy and I find myself yawning and retyping the same thing over and over again. Or, I fall into a kind of coma and catch myself just before my chin smashes into the desktop.

At odd time I find myself possessed of an unnatural amount of energy and no way to expend it without leaving my work station. This is also the same time my mind is going with a thousand ideas and creative thoughts. So I’m torn, leave and loss the idea, or stay and keep the pounds. Life is so unfair. Ideas should burn as many calories as walking. In that case I’d a super model!!

So, I need a new work environment. I need a work station that will allow me work standing or sitting, or will at least give me a good zap every half hour to make me get up and move so my body doesn’t go into shock after sitting for hours. I could also use a chair with some bicycle peddles to work off that energy, and accumulating pounds. And for those moments when my body decides to blast up the heater for a few seconds, I need a super cooling unit or maybe a bucket of water suspended over my head. With a little music I could be flash dance having a hot flash. I’m sure my co-workers would be speechless.
