So I’ve been with my office computer chair for 11 months. In early December of 2016, we first made contact at work and have been inseparable ever since. Monday to Friday, sometimes for up to 14 hours a day, we share the same surface area and wear the same bagel poppy seeds as we tackle the day-to-day flavors of the office environment. All the while, it’s been supportive and adjusts to my needs. But lately, I’ve been noticing a classic “It’s not you, it’s me” attitude. Before the day even begins, it radiates parts of exchanges we’ve had the day before that it simply won’t let go. It’s gotten bad, to the point where an entire weekend will go by, yet I feel the resentment in the air first thing Monday morning. These past few months just haven’t been the same. Many of my colleagues notice we haven’t been quite as close, and they don’t even want to get near us when we’re together.
I don’t want to part ways with this chair as I’m very much of a repair rather than replace kinda guy, but I need to find something that works for both of us. I understand it’s healthy and we both need to take a deep breath and let it go. Neither of us can just hold it in and vent somewhere else; it needs to be shared, understood, accepted and let go. But my chair just won’t forgive and forget. We’ve tried scented candles, oils and sprays, but none of them bring the honeymoon spice we once had.
Can someone lend an experienced hand?
