… of my personal1 work supplied computer chair, to be more precise.
For some odd reason, my office chairs keep getting switched about. The current one seems rather attached as of late, though. Of course, once you try sitting on it, you can instantly tell why. It is an extremely ambitious chair. I’d wager to say, it’s practicing some sort of subtle social climbing. You might think you’re sitting on it, but soon enough your position is corrected. In other words, you tend to find yourself on the brink of falling off of it.
Every time I so much as I leave it, the chair will get 2cm taller. I wonder if the constant yoyo-ing I have to practice on an hourly basis is an intended benefit. You know… sedentary work, with lack of exercise and such.
Do you have weird office ‘tools’ which have suddenly seemed to get a mind of their own?

1 well company property, and it belonged to another coworker but it somehow got switched… yeah, I’m confused as well.
I’ll have to disappoint Kimmie: I’m not at all weird. Constantly making use of a bad choice of words seems to be a requirement for a (software) developer. Of course, there’s the fact that my colleagues do this on purpose while I don’t… but then I’m still learning
Vera is bemoaning the fact that her computer would not start up.
Colleague 1: Why not take that laptop in the meanwhile?
Me: I can’t! A would roast me alive, just look at what he does to B, when he so much as looks at his tool.
Colleague 2: B, stop looking at A’s tool1.
Me:
Rest of the colleagues died of laughter.
What are the side effects of your job… or regular activities?

1 for those of you who don’t know, tool is slang for penis. 
Who needs alarms clocks? I have dad who’s got an amazing talent for nagging. He literally nags me awake: tickling, light switching on, TV on max volume, or just plain shouting… it eventually works. That way I can get up in time to waste away a whole hour before I have to leave for work.
This week, dad had to leave town for work, so like most regular people, I had to rely on my phone alarm1. Dutifully, I set it to 6:30am, so I could be at work by 8:00am2.
zzzzz………..zzzzzzz…….zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
All of a sudden I bolt up, look at the phone and notice it’s 6:20am. I switch the alarm off, quickly go to bathroom… only to return 2 seconds later, deciding to sleep at least 15 more minutes. To be sure I don’t fall back asleep, I switched the light on. As if by mistake, my eyes slide over the clock on the wall which reads… 3:10am ! WTF 
?! I grab my phone… and sure enough, that says 3:10am as well.
Sighing happily, I reactivate the alarm, switch off the light and go back to sleep. Once again I wake up, sleepily reach for my phone, notice it’s 6:27am. I keep the phone in my hand and wait till the alarm starts ringing. Once it does, I switch it off and get up. After a scalding shower3, I sleepily trudge back and start dressing. A cursory glance at the clock on the wall reveals that it’s actually 6:10am… Bewildered, I grab my phone. I could have sworn it rang.
I flip it open, and obviously it’s still 6:10am. To add insult to injury, the little alarm icon was still present, a sign that it had yet to ring. This time though, I didn’t bother going back to sleep. I did ponder leaving for work earlier, but then even I found that indecent. I contented myself with aimlessly browsing Youtube. Come on: what else is there to do at 6am?? Aside sleeping, of course.
What are your most efficient sleeping waking up methods?

1 my alarm clocks have all met their untimely demise at my hands. Interestingly enough, not because they woke me up. I was in the midst of cleaning… 
2 I actually need around 20 minutes of comfortably walk from home to work. Nevertheless, I need 1 hour to properly wake up
3 you won’t catch me in a cold shower… ever… probably. Even if it’s 40 degrees Celsius outside, I’m still liable to take a hot shower.
