dewline: Quotation: There's no point to an apocalypse if you still have to work (apocalypse)
[personal profile] dewline
An office chair that I believe I've owned and used since before my father died - back in 2002 - is slowly going to pieces under me. Therefore, in order to keep myself in good working order - whether that work is data entry, document review, map design or comic book illustration - I finally bought a new chair from the local Jysk store. I'm putting myself further in the hole to do this, yes. My first pay from my now-underway latest job will be deposited in four days from tonight, therefore I feel the need to Get This Done anyway. The less distracted I am from whatever work I have in front of me right now, the better, right?

The chair is described as a "gaming chair", and it's branded as "Snertinge". Apparently, it's so new to its Canadian stores, that it hasn't been added to their web catalogue as of today!

The people I share this house with think I should just put it to the curb and be done. I plan to advertise it on TrashNothing.com, offering it as either repairable or as parts for a repair job. Why not at least try to keep it out of landfill, right?

My local freegle is full of repairable stuff and parts, and a surprising percentage go after the first offer post.

And, yes, you're allowed to buy a new chair and not injure yourself merely because the systems we live in make zero waste unnecessarily difficult. I hope you and your chair both live long and prosper.
