The working from home thread: tips and advice

Yup.

We moved from Outlook to GSuite to O365...

Being a bit of an edge case (and the fact the muppets that did the migration didn't factor in things like Google Analytics and Sites and stuff) this has left me with three browsers running maybe 5 different mailboxes in both O365 and Gmail. This year they sold us so soon I will finally get to ditch the Google mailboxes and the old 0365 mailbox and just have one! Joy of joys, indeed.

Great thank you, have a work home office budget to use so this will do nicely!

Office chair finally crapped out last week. Given that I'm likely to be at home for a while yet and I'd like my back to survive beyond the grand old age of 40 what do people recommend?

Herman Miller they say...

As @disq I would go for Herman Millar

I guess try the different ones if you can but I love my Aeron and 2nd hand sales of them are super easy to find.

My Herman is sinking. Too many years supporting my fat arse. :(

Is the material sagging or is it the gas lift?

You can just replace the gas lift part for not much money.

The gas lift thing. I got it used so it's not all my arse's fault.

It seems you can indeed.

How do know which model I need though? Need to ID this chair.

If you post a picture here, I’m sure there will be a office chair nerd who will ID it instantly. (I don’t own a Herman Miller but I will soon)

Has an all plastic back - not the mesh of the newer ones.

My main gripe with the Flexispot is that the central support beam goes through the centre of the desk so there isn’t much real estate for drawers under your desk. My knees also occasionally hit this bar

Probably easier to ID with a picture of the full chair!

Where's the fun in that?

You tease.

New office is 99% done.

Shall we talk about that rug/desk foot arrangement?

No

I didn't say 100%

mine was sagging on my Humanscale chair but I gave it a dose of Hyper Wiper, and now its fine

I could try squeezing some fork oil on it.

might be just the trick it needs, they're fairly universal aren't they if you need a new one

Well, I've just cleared a massive step down and the rock garden is barely noticeable.

Jury is still out about whether it'll hold air. It was an intermittent issue.
