After years of fucked aspirational posture in a sit/stand stool I am buying a fancy grownup office chair. Found a used furniture place nearby where I was able to sit in:
Steelcase Gesture
Herman Miller Aeron
Steelcase Leap
The Leap was by far the most comfortable (and attractive) and they’ll clean it up nice for me and it’s $500, about a third of the new retail price!! Unreasonably excited.

Other getting old innovations: I discovered that computer glasses are a thing. That is, special prescription for the computer screen ~2 feet from your face. Not distance, not readers. Maybe this will help further unfuck my posture (been leaning in to see the screen better)

@akahn very nice! i did this a couple years back. i was on assignment in NYC and the office there had amazing chairs so i found one locally at a used office furniture dealer and picked it up on my way home. still love it (in my case, i have a Herman Miller Mirra 2)
