Not broken, just snappish
It's surprisingly easy to lose concentration when your working environment is not quite right. There's nothing guaranteed to strain your back quite like wrestling an office chair to the floor to wrench out adjustments of its pitch and yaw and roll and whatever. I've set it up pretty well now, except it has a spring-hinged back so when I lean back it leans too. Do not want! There doesn't seem to be a lock mechanism to keep it still.
My eyesight is going through a slightly irksome change: as a kid it was so good I could read bus numbers from 100m away; as a postgrad I needed glasses to pass the driving licence eyesight test; three years ago I needed glasses for the cinema and to read lecturers' slideshows; now I'm just on the cusp of needing them for computer screen work. Without them I can't *quite* focus like I'm used to; with them it's uncomfortable in another way. Hey, is this time to get a larger monitor? ;-)
Heh! Just listening to the Life on Mars soundtrack and it's come out with: "Don't move! You're surrounded by armed bastards!" It's a very hard CD to work to, though. Was listening to Bananarama earlier to mess with my Scrobbler, then the Belle Stars and 'Sign of the Times'. That track gives me shivers down the back of my neck when it starts, with that insistent high-pitched guitar. Or did I say this already? Shivers, anyway.
