Last week it was new laptops, this week it's the also long promised new chairs. A change from the red/purple things that were fairly worn, these are 'charcoal', new and much more adjustable (height/tilt/backrake). Some come with arms and an inflatable lumber support. I've opted for the latter as I discovered with some delight that the support seemed to help the lower back pain I've been experiencing since an RTA in January. I was a little dubious that one with arms would fit under my desk when I'm not around (there's not a lot of space in this office), but it turns out that they can be lowered quite easily and the chair fit's nicely so my colleagues can move (if not actually swing a cat).

Ah! Such is the exciting life of the library world.
