Looking for a new computer chair

[T3C]

Has to be leather highback with arm rests. Any ideas?

That was fast.... Thanks!

Not a bad chair at all. Purchased an identical one for a family member in Brooklyn during the summer of last year (I think I caught it on a slightly better sale, as it was almost free after rebate).

 

Only thing I dislike is that the seat and the back are joined together by the arms themselves (four bolts total). In other words, the arms are not optional, as without them the seat and the back would not be joined.

 

Am actually looking for a new chair myself, but I think I am going to opt for something more along these lines (or perhaps these lines), though obviously a bit more inexpensive.

$727!!!

If you spend a lot of time sitting on the chair all day, it's worth it.

 

I paid a little bit less than that for one of these in December:

Well worth it. Of course if you have a used office furniture store nearby, that might be your best bet.

I agree. "You get what you pay for"... remember? :)

Precisely. Especially in a home office.

 

Not to mention, it's a business expense.

Yep :) I bought mine just before the end of the year for tax purposes. And I had a 35% discount code, which made it even hotter.

Do you have a home office (work from home) too?

Until Nyc office space becomes more affordable, yes.

 

Although, I do have access to a rather nice conference room on demand in a law office in midtown. A family member of mine was nice enough to offer use of such when I require it, as it is part of a remote office of a Long Island based practice.

Meaning you'll be working from home forever - LOL

Now that's nice... do you use it a lot? What do actuaries do anyways? I'm not quite sure what it is you do - I know it has to do with numbers, but that's the extent of my knowledge.

Somehow, that last emoticon seems highly appropriate.

Hmmm... did Ben Stiller's character in Along Came Polly work as an actuary? Seems like it... can you (or anyone) confirm?

I believe the title used with Risk Assessment Analyst? Someone with a better memory chime in if I am wrong?

 

No. There are risk analysts that typically work alongside the actuary (or actuaries), but are more slated towards the product development/deployment/in-force analysis/etc side of the equation, rather than the truly intense mathematical side.

[i-bystander]

I see. You're on the truly intense mathematical side then?
