Modern Office Methods

It's funny, but when my office moved to its current location, a lot of the old furniture came with it (although thankfully, not the orange and green chairs left over from the 1970s...you know the colors I'm talking about). In exchange, we did get some more contemporary office furniture, but every now and then, I'll see something I thought we left behind. It's been six years now, and the desk chairs that only adjust by spinning them 'round and 'round (whoever thought that up must have flunked out of industrial design school) still exist. The meeting room chairs that are stuck in a permanently reclined position are found in conference rooms. Old filing cabinets that they repainted to match the "decor" are everywhere. But thank God they have real desk chairs, with adjustable height, lumbar support, arms, and all the other bells and whistles you'd get with expensive desk chairs. Makes all the difference in the world.
