Chairs Should Be Banned
One of the wheels on my chair just got caught on a plastic floor cover thingy.. which caused it to flip and propel me forward.
My skull just barely missed (ok, it was probably like half a foot away) hitting the edge of my table. Luckily I just ended up needing to brush a bit of dirt off my face and t-shirt.
Even the chairs are conspiring against me now.

I don't use pencils or pencil sharpeners.. so I should be safe. The chairs though, I'm too lazy to fight them.

Not that your pain is hilarious or anything….but your text made me lol for quite a while.

I don't think I could survive if I was being surveilled.
After it happened, I was reminded of your story about the coworker and the broken wheel.. except I didn't dive head first into the lap of some ridiculously attractive girl. I just kinda thwapped my face into the floor.

Your old school chair failed you? That chair rocks.
I'm glad you didn't pierce your eyeball with your clever sharpie holder on the edge of your desk. Maybe you should wear a seatbelt with your chair. And a helmet. And goggles. Then when someone comes by your desk and they ask you why you are wearing all that equipment, you can be like, "What? What are you talking about?"

Actually, I've swapped that chair out twice now. I'm now in a much more comfortable semi-squishy pleatherish chair.
I'm used to a more sturdy wheel-base though. But now I know, and don't plan on flipping it anymore.
And the incident occurred near my other table, not the one with my improvised sharpie holdermabobthingy.

My chair sucks. I hate it. Just cuz I'm short they gave me a chair that's practically on the floor (and has no lever thing to raise it). They won't order me a new chair unless I create some sort of butt/back/neck/leg injury because they have to buy chairs through a place that we're contracted with and they're 92,000 dollars and they don't love me that much. I'm going to bring in dictionarys to sit on. Although I don't think my butt will like sitting on them.
OOOooo You should totally wear a helmit in the office!!! You can let people race you through the office in your chair and then let you go…..your head won't break!

My head won't break.. but I also have a neck, and arms, and legs, and stuff.
I'll make you a cushiony stack of phonebooks. Deal?

Faith said,
Aw…I kinda like your head and neck and arms and all that so don't break those either. Disregard the fun wheel you through the office and crash you idea.
Yay for cushiony phonebooks!!!!

I KNOW I've seen a phone book cushion online somewhere. But google only has one result for "phone book cushion." Oh wait, maybe it was at some baby store. It's a cushion, but it's yellow and looks like a phone book. It's at that expensive baby store. What's it called?

But.. it's not a costume. And even if it was, I may be scrawny, but I'm pretty sure I wouldn't fit in a baby costume.
Sheesh spoodart!

Popular? Half the comments are mine. Half are yours. And the other half are spudart's.

How did the phone book thing start? Why did it become a phrase used by short people needing a boost in their chair. Why phone books?

Because they're free, and you get a bunch of new ones every year. You either sit on the old ones or throw them away.
Dictionaries though - if someone needs to look up a word they have to yoink it out from under your butt. I'm not sure if a warm dictionary helps when you need a definition, or if it's just REAALLLY awkward.

phone book cushion is not a costume. It's a cushion that looks like a phone book. So you can sit on it. Not wear it. I need to start clicking on these notify buttons in the comments, cuz i never nknew you replied, because the rss feed for your comments aint' workin, SUCKA.

But a "phone book cushion costume" IS a costume. Don't ruin my fun here.
I'm tempted to make the notify checkbox checked by default.
