Can you get/make an ad hoc footrest? I used all sorts of weird things in my last job, to get the dimensions right.
I hate tweaking monitor angles beyond a very small range. I always mess up.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Taking away the stand the monitor had been on did the trick for me. I was afraid I was going hurt myself leaping up on to my chair when I had it raised and used a footrest, bfore I got a keyboard tray.
Half my department got taken out to lunch for winning the pumpkin carving contest at Halloween. The rest of us decided we'd get Buffalo Wild Wings for ourselves as a consolation prize. Such a good decision!

I'd love to have one of those office chairs with a foot rest. But I'd probably fall asleep. I had an extremely comfortable chair once, and nap attacks were a real issue.

That has been an issue, I've had to have the chair backed against hte desk to be sure I'd be able to sit down without it slipping out.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Finally got my flu shot (in my defense, I am lazy about getting stuff done BUT I work from home and am not super social, so my minimal exposure to other people was my excuse for being too lazy to go to the CVS and get jabbed). And damn, my arm hurts now.
But I've been arguing all over FB about the importance of herd immunity and debunking the ridiculous idea that vaccines are a cash cow for the manufacturers, so I realized that I needed to put my immune system where my mouth is.
Also, my mom kept bugging me about it, and people in the area have already died from the flu, so this gets her off my back. But mostly, herd immunity. Moo.

Chiming in late, as usual ... but someone (Beverly?) asked about putting butterscotch chips in oatmeal cookies. The answer, from my experience, is YES. I had a great recipe for oatmeal cookies but my sister hated raisins (it called for raisins and nuts). So I tried butterscotch chips instead of raisins (left the nuts in - pecans in this case) and she was good with that.

And - since I'd prefer to keep the noms separate - mumps have made a comeback. (Reminded by the post about flu shots.)

Our family usually manages to vaccinate only 3 out of 4 members, so no judging from my corner.

Raaaaaaaaaage. And that reminds me I am massively overdue for a Tdap booster.
t edit Huh. I didn't realize the CDC recommends the shingles vaccine only for people over 60. I don't want to get shingles, dang it!
