Now that I work at home, I’m beginning to remember why I dislike office desks so much and why good ones are so expensive — along with decent office chairs. My desk, for lack of a better word, sucks and my nice Ayreon knock-off chair is equally sucky. I can’t seem to get both of them to meet at a happy medium where no part of my body hurts after work. Today I woke up with a severe soreness in between my shoulder blades which I’m used to from sitting in another equally uncomfortable chair for hours on end. However, I remained quite sedentary on our new couch last night so I know this soreness isn’t caused by my squad of unergonomic chairs. Adjusting the arms somewhat relieves the pain in my shoulders but then something else ends up hurting and my desk doesn’t help that much. When I sit at my desk, trying to figure something out, I tend to lean heavily on my elbows and just last week I found two little divots in the desk from my elbows. So now I need to keep my elbows off my desk but then that leads me back to the problem with my chair…vicious circle.
Buying anything semi-ergonomic is currently out of the question simply because I’m not made of money. But if I were made of money, I’d be less worried about stress and more about catching fire.
