100 Word Story – Friday Fictioneers Photo Challenge
Good posture leads to a longer life.
They say it’s all about where you park your butt,
And mine is parked way too long in a cheap chair from
“Office R Us”, yes the very same place that went out of business,
They have no business creating such torture devices for work from home humans.
Work from home but company doesn’t provide the top of the line furniture,
Like the ‘on-site’ employees have.
I lament all the way to my deck,
Cat waiting to curl up on my lap,
While I leave the ‘office’ chair behind.
Here’s to long life.
There are so many interesting things in this week’s photo by Jennifer Pendergast for Rochelle Wisoff’s Friday Fictioneers Photo challenge. Somehow my eye fell upon the office chair, a lovely chair with red accents very unlike the flea market find that graces my home office. Really I could purchase a chair for a few hundred dollars that wouldn’t be mistaken for trash but…with a memory foam cushion the darn thing actually works. Besides…I don’t plan on staying parked in front of a computer screen forever like a pilot in a cockpit of an eight hour flight of soul draining torture. And to be fair, there’s no special treatment of on-site vs work from home employees. The company accommodations are no more brag worthy than my own. Truth be told, I also do not spend my mornings with a laptop on the deck…it’s too hot or cold, too many bugs and the lighting just doesn’t work. It’s a nice thought though!
Here’s to sitting up straight wherever you find yourself today! Best, Clare.
