When I was at KPMG, all the staff had Aero chairs. But they'd remodelled the offices for Sr. Managers and Partners with very nice wood desks - which the arms on the Aero chairs were high enough to damage. So the higher-ups had to go back to the crappy chairs.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
My back was hurting so bad I was considering buying an Aero for myself, even though that is so much money. But now I have to figure out how to configure this thing.

I am getting a new work chair!
I don't remember the name of my chair, but it's from the same company. I had no idea how bad my back problems were until they mostly went away with my chair. I've been thinking about getting another one for home, except, yeah, expensive. It was pricey enough for my employer, and they got the sooper-special-discount for buying lotsa, lotsa chairs.
So sorry you didn't make it out in time, Lee. I did warn you!

Yeah, good luck with that. It's worse than Tivo.

I want an aero for school. Just because it would improve my day.
My PCP is good in that he has "premium appointments" for day-of sickos who need an appointment right now. No mono yet, but he refused to do a blood test. I kept thinking "Dr. House would do it for me." Maybe. Or maybe not because he hates his clinic patients.
Irrespective, I'm sure I could get some fictitious doc to do it for me. K's PCP who is in the same practice as mine and whom she has never seen actually took her phone call and talked to her for about 5-10 minutes today. Crazy.

Sounds like a pretty good practice, even if they don't want to play vampire yet.
Every single mammal in the apartment is sneezing. I'm pretty sure it's related to having the windows open 24/7. Or 24/14. Whichever. In any case, cats dealing with snot is a little gross. They don't exactly use a kleenex.

What is even happening?
Kat, did he refuse to do a blood test because most of the population has antibodies?

I just snorted something awful. Bones has apparently killed off an astronaut who worked on a Hubble servicing mission.
I wonder if I should ask the crew for the next one who are coming up next week about it. Heh.

Oh crap, this might bring out the weirdos accusing me of withholding info. Hopefully most of them don't watch Bones.
Oh, hey! Hubble's public outreach site [link] won 2 Webbies (Webbys?) in the science category. That's kinda cool.
