Nobody ever tells you that, after you turn 30, your body starts falling apart — well, they probably do, but I certainly never listened. Alas, halfway towards 31, with two slipped disks and a rheumatological condition that affects my back, wrists and legs, I am seemingly falling to pieces. I can't stand hangovers anymore either.
Subsequently, upon doctor's orders, I decided to fully revamp my home office. To help with pain, I brought in a new standing desk and more foam than a rabid fox, thanks to a set of ergo cushions for my chair. I also bought a slew of IKEA gubbins to help clean up the organizational repercussions of switching desks — I was going from a 2-meter-tall behemoth with no less than six built-in shelves for storage, to a standing desk with a single tabletop.
