@EnochianEntropy +1 balance board, am a champ with that.
My chair was $20 at ReStore and it's oddly fine. Past life I've had an Aeron and it wasn't $1k better than this junky thing.
@EnochianEntropy I might DIY the memory part.

Falsehood will fly, as it were, on the wings of the wind, and carry its tales to every corner of the earth; whilst truth lags behind; her steps, though sure, are slow and solemn, and she has neither vigour nor activity enough to pursue and overtake her enemy -- Thomas Francklin, 1797
