It is difficult to try something new. There is the excitement of the unknown and the anticipation of a new experience, but sometimes generating the emotional or psychological momentum to get started can be a challenge. After my stunning success at the job fair [note sarcasm - ed.], I decided to finally the freelance writing thing a try, and I almost got there. The jobs around the house were piling up, I’m helping my Mom move and fix up a house, and several other things, including excuses, got in the way.
I have a history of good-intentioned plans crashing down around me at the slightest tilt toward confidence. Perhaps I just look for the errant shove to send my goals tumbling, but I’m not here to psycho-analyze, I’m here to broadcast my latest attempt to get myself back at my desk and writing–this blog doesn’t count; no fun in that. Yesterday, I went to Staples and bought a chair: The Lane Brown Leather Guest Chair.
Why a “guest” chair and not one of those executive models? Well, I’m not made of money and am currently absent a means of steady income. Paying about $120 for a chair was a treat for me [just noticed that the online store has the chair for a higher price than in-store 
]. Before the new chair, I was using a Sentry Fire-Safe file box (the low review is probably because it sucks as a seat, and because file folders tend to drag on the bottom)[I do not endorse Wal-Mart or its products, the safe was a gift - ed.]. Uncomfortable seating has a way of deterring decent writing sessions.
The new chair is comfortable and matches my box cases, and is sturdy–not so much as a creak. If I were in the mood to start reviewing furniture, I’d give my new some high praise with like stars or something. With the motivation of using my new chair on a daily basis, I just might writing again. Whee! \o/
Hopefully more interesting things to come,
