If you’ve ever been in an office job, you’ve most likely witnessed office furniture that was a bit overused. It’s not that office furniture is boring, it’s just that they’ve been used, a lot, and that’s what has caused the problem. Overuse can cause an office worker to feel a bit overwhelmed and bored.
At the office furniture store I work at, we have a bunch of office chairs in the waiting room that are in a constant state of battle for the attention of passersby. Theyre as much a part of the office-going experience as the doorjamb and the intercom system. It seems that every time a new client walks in, theyve brought something new to the fight.
I don’t know if this is specific to our store, but a lot of my coworkers feel the same way about their office furniture. I don’t know what happened, but the chairs are starting to feel less like a part of the office and more like a part of our personal territory.
I think we all need the space to relax, to feel normal, to just feel. We all want our lives to be a little less overwhelming than they are. Maybe we need a little office where we can sit, and drink tea, and have a little fun. I don’t know, but it sounds like that would be a good thing.
There are a lot of reasons for our office furniture to feel different than what we expect it to feel like, but one of the reasons is that it is a reflection of who we are, our preferences are often not the same as what you want, and we can all be creative in the way that we arrange our office furniture. But it is also one way that we can let ourselves off the hook.
Because we have our own office, we have our own tastes and preferences. We don’t have to accept everything the office furniture design team wants, because we can always change things if we so choose. Sometimes our own preferences are different than what the furniture we buy is supposed to look like, but we can always re-purpose our furniture if we so choose. If we can, it means that we aren’t just buying the wrong thing, We’re the wrong person.
Yes, this is a true fact. We actually used to buy office furniture that looked like a hooker. It made us feel good, so we used to do it. We were cool with it, until we realized that we ourselves were just doing it for the same reason – it was comfortable. We just did it without being aware that we were doing it.
Sure, we thought it was a hooker, but she was actually a model. No amount of re-purposing would have changed that. We just did it so we could feel good. We are nothing more than self-involved, self-obsessed, and self-help experts who never get it right.
As you might imagine, hooker is also an office furniture. Yes, we get it. If you’re just going to do it, you can just do it. But not once you find out it’s actually a hooker. After the fact, that’s when you’re left with a lot of questions.
