And what a chair it is; you can adjust everything so it holds every part of your body perfectly as long as you want to stay seated. Sometimes I work all day, have lunch at my desk, and then stay at the computer until bedtime, only getting up to get food or fulfill certain biological needs, and not once I feel like I should rest my legs or anything like that. I'm probably still over-excited about this (I've had the thing for two months now), but it's only because it is just that good.
Of course I'm still paying for it (4 months to go..), money that could've gone towards shinier stuff, but it does come with a 12 year warranty, so I expect it to last forever (not biblical-time-scale-forever, but still long enough to last several more iterations of desktop PCs). In the end, I trust it will have paid itself, if only by saving me from chronic back pain.
When I went to buy it, I was impressed with how the saleslady gave so much importance to how the chair would significantly rise my social status; durability and comfortableness were secondary, although pretty prominent features of these worldwide known chairs. I guess she didn't know my plan was to keep it at home, where I work. I also guess that by writing this post I'm falling into her trap.
Anyway, in the end what's really important is how much I'd hate to go back to a regular chair. I think the intensity of that feeling is what I'm trying to convey here; that once you get accustomed to sitting like a deity, you can never really go back, and that is a good thing. (That last link was a joke, I hate that kind of book, and I didn't read the whole article, but the core idea is still a good one. Just saying.)

EDIT I forgot to mention: today, for the first time in years, I was in a church (a First Communion). What a coincidence, right?
