I’m not comfortable in my office chair. After my clumsy efforts to change the gas cylinder that didn’t work, but looks like it may have weakened the mount, and I don’t want to have a repeat of the end of the last chair when it gave away, and I went over backwards.
My mission today then was to explore several of the local charity shops that have very good furniture sections to see if I could find a good 2nd hand office chair.
I visited the two shops in Gosport. The first did have half a dozen office chairs but none of them came anywhere near meeting my needs, so I moved on to the second establishment. Sadly they had no office chairs at all. Where next then?
Luckily, I had my bus pass with me, so I hopped on to a fast E2 service to Fareham, took advantage of the USB socket to keep my phone charged whilst I read the news for the trip. There is one particularly large charity furniture shop in the town centre, I felt confident that it would have a good selection of office furniture. Nope, one office chair, that again didn’t meet my needs.
Elayne had told me about another furniture shop on the High Street. I walked as far along as I thought there might be the chance of shops, but I couldn’t find the other furniture shop.
I gave up and spent a bit of time browsing in Waterstones. I even bought a couple of books, which I shouldn’t have done, but I may need them for reference. And so concluded today’s Great Office Chair Hunt Adventure.
