Is it possible that you might conflicted about everything for the simple joy about being conflicted? And that what you describe is a cousin or child of that phenomenon? Get the Meda, for Cripes's sake.
I didn't like the Meda either, you dupe to European fashionability; it's really not a good thing in a chair when the armrests move out of position whenever you get up or scoot around. And it's just not as comfortable and supportive as the others. What does your place look like?
Atrocious, at the moment. Generally, I favor light woods (or even dark woods) over chrome. But if, as apparently is the case at your work, you are going with the faux 80's coke-whore look, you should really commit to it. The Meda, the glass desk, the stupid Chess King stylized poster of a faceless, outlined woman with short-cropped hair and a short-cropped skirt. Go the full nine. (IIRC, once upon a time, this plus a clunky gold watch and a Members Only jacket yielded the Iranian-American look of choice).
I agree that the Leap doesn't quite look the way I'd like, or like anything else in the office, but whatever, it's not my home, and you can't see what you're sitting on.
You'll be happy to know that my home is also light-woody. I can't wait until we move in together.
I think I may have previously endorsed the Leap chair here. It truly rocks. The adjustments are relatively sensible, unlike the Aeron which requires a technician to properly set up.
I'm surprised to learn that it's also a relative value. I wish I could obtain such a thing at my current job...
I HATE THE FREEDOM CHAIR> I am a short woman with short legs. I am 5'4. I sit in the Freedom Chair for 40 hours a week, minus moving around occasionaly on a job out side of the office so I know what I am talking about.
My back aches, my butt hurts, my legs and knees bother me and my poor neck.. well! This chair while interesting is not for sitting long periods of time or for short, bony bottomed folk.
Is this the promised follow-up to yesterday's "Belief" post?

I do tend to be conflicted. It is a gift and a curse.

So now we know you work in some sort of hick-town'ed government-run mental institution. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Ha! Damn, I didn't even see that as a set up line. Ok, ok, that's funny.

And then you two can work together to redecorate the Mineshaft.

Yes, I remember the recommendation; it was one of the reasons I got the Leap. Thanks.
