I ordered a shiny new Wacom tablet and a new office chair (my boyfriend ruined my old one with excessive sweating and farting O_O). The office chair is magically coming tomorrow, but I have to wait longer than expected for the tablet. Boyfriend is excited about the chair though. But...even though I gave up my old chair to him because of what he put it through, he already asked me if he can use my new one when I'm not home. He just can't wait to break it in... :/ Thankfully this one is leather and should be easy to clean. Febreeze only does so much to the old one.

what the hell has your bf been doing in that chair that he ruined it by sweating and farting on it?

I have no idea. All I know is that he started using my chair back in September and it was like new and clean. Now it's smelly, stained, broken, and known as "The Poop Chair." I stopped using it in January or so because of the smell, but my back can't take the kitchen chair at my desk anymore so I had to get a new one.

Working on packaging for a new "high quality" light we're working on. On the back panel there's 6 icons with size 7 type on them. Each icon contains a little line drawing along with the text (maybe 4-6 words in each).

Apparently I need to add 5 more languages in each icon....

The icons are .8 x .6 inches.

3pt Font here I come!

Bunnies are particularly sensitive to smells, but I think that particular boyfriend is an extra yucky model.

You have no idea. Though to give him the benefit of the doubt, he was laid off over the months that it got ruined and he spent every waking second in it, so it got wore out much quicker than normal. After he started working again in January the chair got a break but the damage had been done.

As stinky as he gets though, I wouldn't trade him in for a new model. He's got a lot of really cool features to make up for his chair ruining glitch.

He also told me he's paying for my new chair so that's even better. AND just got an e-mail that my tablet is also randomly coming tomorrow, even though I was expecting to wait until next week sometime. Turned out to be a good day.
