ChuckF's second desk thread

[Demimonde]

My dear Bort. I understand that desk chair standard activities are not possible on an exercise ball. Neither are they possible in a club chair, a director's chair, a captain's chair, or a stool. Enscootification is particular to the standard and ubiquitous rolly desk chair. Placing wheels on any of the other options is equally silly to me.

Because I would think that using any of the others in lieu of a standard desk chair would and should change behavior. Full disclosure, I am not particularly fond of rolly desk chairs outside of office sport. I would battle for comfy, but non-rolly chairs in my office. Often all of the chairs would be in that format. In my desk jobs I would frequently place things I needed on a regular, but not continuous basis, across the room for me as far away as possible. The point was that I would get up to go to the printer, fax, supply cupboard, or kitchenette. Not just scooty my self over there and back again.

I would think, that if one wanted the benefits of using an exercise ball, for either health or mental benefits, the small amount of effort to dismount and walk short distances would enhance the experience for the user rather than harm it. It is rather the point of the thing: to free yourself from the negative lifestyle effects of being chained to a rolly chair and enscootifying your increasingly ample booty to and fro.

Also, the elegant design of the scooty puff should in no way be compared to the horror of the thing-without-a-name.

Also, also:

You made me [Thanks] that.

[But]

Instead of being thanksed for his claptrap, Mr. FuckC will be banned for his desk threads. I know it!


Everyone who repeats this sentence over and over,
will learn Lisp and get mouth gorgonzola.

Yeah, that's the kind I have, exactly. But my dad cut the legs down so he could sit at it. It was my grandfather's navy-surplus drafting table, and my dad provided for us on it, by being a key liner, back in the days key lining was a physical thing, not computer generated.

After moving to computers, my dad used it to build model airplanes on. It's full of thumbtack holes used to glue wing structs together, etc.

It's all flat packed in the garage at the moment, as we are moving stuff into the house slowly. It will be my craft and drawing table sometime in the near future.

It's like 5 ft by 3 ft, a really big desk. You could probably stand it on cinder blocks, for that hipster look.

Last year Mrs. KA decided to get exercise balls for herself and all the people to sit at while at their desks here in the home school. But then the cats mistook the exercise balls for birds or something and deflated them all.

At least they didn't pee on them though.
