New desk chair! (Sep 27, 2013)

When you have a lot of writing to do, you're sitting for the biggest part of the day. Therefore, the desk chair you're sitting in should at least be comfortable right?! Well I've been sitting in a crappy broken desk chair for over half a year now. Why? Because I am broke and good desk chairs cost a lot of money, plus I don't want to invest the money I don't have in a chair I might have to sell again if I have to move to another country some time soon. The future job for me is still unknown and as I'm willing to move to the corners of the earth there is no way in knowing where I might end up in the time ahead. But anyway that's a different story.
I have been sitting on this broken chair for way too long, and I have to admit, I have had 2 versions of this desk chair and they all start off okay but then become very uncomfortable pretty quickly after purchased. Anyway, here are some pictures of what I have been sitting on. I've already placed it on my balcony, so my apologies for the dirty floor.

So as you can see, the seat was broken which somehow either made my leg fall asleep, or made my back ache. It's just uncomfortable. But the good news is that I found a cheap desk chair which I bought and put together, and here it is:
Okay it's smaller, but it actually is pretty comfortable. Or maybe I find anything comfortable after having to sit in a broken chair for so long... Either way I am very happy and it was only E35,- from the store Kwantum which is very cheap, I've checked many websites and usually the cheapest one was around E60,-. Sad thing is because I don't own a car or know anyone who does in my neighbourhood (the cons of living in a city where you can get anywhere with public transport or a bike I guess) I had to order it and that costs an additional E15,-. Still E50,- is reasonably cheap. And I'm happy I get to sit comfortably at my desk again :D
