Where can I find a comfortable executive desk chair that doesn't need to be replaced biannually? I'm a big guy (6'2" 330 lbs) and I'm tired of these desk chairs that break in 3-18 months of use. Seriously, the frame on my most recent chair broke in just a few months time; and at this point, I had the frame welded, only to have a /second/ pressure point break. The same chair broke in two entirely different places during less than six months use! Is there /any/ company left in the world that sells a comfortable [plush] executive desk chair that does not have a Chinese-made brittle plastic or ludicrously substandard metal frame?

My husband wants an executive office desk for Christmas for our home? I'm not sure if I want to spend that kind of money on a desk that he will never be home for because he is always on the road working. I would rather give him something that he could put to better use. Any ideas? I don't mind buying the desk if I would know he would really use it. ITS NOT THAT IM BEING SELFISH AT ALL ITS JUST THAT I THINK HE DESERVES SOMETHING THAT HE WILL USE. ITS NOT ABOUT THE MONEY EITHER, ITS ABOUT ALL THE OTHER LITTLE THINGS HE HAS MENTIONED THAT HE WOULD LIKE THAT I KNOW HE WOULD GET BETTER USE OUT OF!
Where can I buy a simple, plain, wooden desk? I just need four legs, a sturdy slab of wood, and a decent sized work space. I don't want drawers, or a keyboard tray, or a hutch -- you'd think I'd be able to get something like that pretty easily, but all the office-supply/furniture stores seem to want to sell me workcenters or executive desks or what not. The only place that has them is IKEA, and their shipping charges are kinda atrocious. Perhaps finding a friend with a station wagon's cheaper?

Do any of you mothers/mothers-to-be sit in a leather executive-type office chair at your desk at work/home? I'm starting a new job next week where I will have a very plush leather executive-type chair in my new office. My concern being that I've just begun to get fairly gassy in my stage (2nd trimester), is that if I accidentally pass gas in this chair, will it bring it to the attention of everyone in the office? I've heard that leather chairs are terrible for this... I apologize if this question seems inappropriate, I just wanted to ask this question anonymously to the experts out there! Thank you :)
Senior Executive will not acknowledge me when talk talk to her? I am still having trouble with the powerful senior executive who has information I need to do my job. I go to her office and she will not look up from her paperwork to acknowledge me. Even if I speak up and stand over her desk she will act like I am not there. I heard her say to someone, she does not have time to deal with people at my level of the organization. How do I get someone like this to acknowledge me.
How can I sell off my office furniture for the best price? I'm closing my mortgage office in Oceanside, NY. All my furniture is only 6 months old and of very high quality. I want to recoup as much as I can get. What % of the retail price should I be asking for and how can I get it sold quickly? I tried a blast fax to other mortgage companies asking for 60% of the retail, but no one has replied. If I don't get at least 50%, I'll just give it to charity and take a write off. I have 3 executive desks, 4 executive chairs, 5 grey work stations with matching file cabinets, 2 old L shaped workstations, 4 art prints, 29 comdial phones with system, 9 computers with xp professional, an okidata b/w laser printer, 5 black mid back office chairs, a black conference desk with 6 high back vinyl chairs, and a Louie IV cherrywood end table.

What kind of chair do you sit in at your desk at work or home? I have a black leather high-backed executive chair- VERY comfy! Now another one LOL....... How many times do think your chair has been subjected to the action of you "breaking wind" in it during the last 6 months or so? I'm thinking about writing a short fiction about the day-to-day "life" of an office chair for my creative writing class! lol
Should a code of honor be established for Congress and the Executive? I was thinking along the lines of Seppuku....Trillions of new debt, failed oversight, financial meltdown and not one politician stands accountable for anything? Whats up with that? No resignations, no disgrace, no apologies...such arrogance. A Seppuku alter in front of the House Speaker's desk would look cool on C-Span.
Question about mold on a wood desk? We are inheriting this really old wooden desk. It's quite large, like one you would see in an executive office. It was in the basement and has a small patch of mold on it. Does anyone know how to remove the mold without having to refinish the entire piece? I can only assume that refinishing it would be costly. I am not sure of the type of wood, dark finish and otherwise flawless.
Is your desk at work...? an office depot standard piece of junk, a nice upgrade computer desk you can deal with, or an executive, wood desk that makes you look important?
All natural homemade ink remover to take ink from a gel pen off my wooden computer desk? The other day, I was cleaning and sprayed Pledge and polished up my desk to give it a really good shiny once-over and got it looking all spic and span and a few days ago, I was working on a project and got tiny marks from the gel-type ink pen I was using on my desk. (I have one of those old-fashioned pen holders like you'd see on an executive's desk, but I was so wrapped up in my project that it left several noticeable marks on my desk's surface and on my mouse.) I thought I might be about to get these off by moistening the tip of my fingers, but the ink is now dried on and it is annoying me to no end. Does anyone have any sort of Green or homemade suggestions I could try? Thanks.
Are people who voted for Obama in November simply because they wanted to "make history" regretting it? Have you heard many of them now saying, "Wow. Maybe he was just good at being behind a teleprompter podium and not behind an executive leadership desk?" "He promised to bring-in a 'new type of politics', but this SPEND-ULUS bill just looks like the same old pork-barrell spending times ten thousand!" Or do you see many of them still in a "Obama-haze" and not really applying objective thinking to analyze Obama's decisions?

Isn't it shameful the way federal laws are passed? A bill is introduced into congress and in order to get enough votes to pass it onto the Preident to sign into law, our representatives trade their support for pet projects and pork spending. Congress is guilty of this practice almost every time a bill crosses the executive desk. The line item veto has been deemed by the US Supreme Court as unconstitutional because it shifts budget spending from congress to the President. I believe the President SHOULD have authority to trim funds from bills which are to be used only for special interests. In a recent example, the troop funding bill was loaded with pork: $25 million for spinach growers; $100 million for citrus growers; $25 million for livestock farmers; $74 million for peanut storage; $283 million in milk subsidies. This is a portion of troop funding??? Those who are complaining the loudest about spending are only worsening the problem...and then blaming others for cogressional gridlock. We need the line item veto. No, the President should not have unrestricted power to make laws but also, congress should not have the ability to frivilously spend our tax dollars because they cannot use common sense either. They are selling out our country

How can I set up relationship with advertising agencies? Hi. I work as an account executive for a minority daily newspaper in the US. Unlike other A/E in mainstream media, I can very less money. I want to set up relationships with big advertising agencies to expand my network, and eventually draw ads into my newspaper. I tried so many advertising agencies, but all I had are voice mails and no responses except the front desk receptionist. My question is how can I reach those people in advertising agencies? Any advice is welcomed. Thank you very much.

Yuppie Executive to Redneck in 35 Easy Steps (not for people with a short attention span)? Are you a wealthy and successful suit-and-tie yuppie businessman who has always had a secret dream that you would one day become a redneck? Have you always wanted to be a Bubba, but didn't know how? Is there an inner Cletus inside that dapper and dignified image, just hollerin' to get out? Purchase the following: one pair of overalls, one pack of chewing tobacco and six cases of beer. That is all you will need to start! Now follow the 35 SIMPLE and EASY guidelines. Caution: These instructions MUST be followed in your BUSINESS OFFICE during WORKING HOURS. 1) We assume you are a dignified, well-groomed yuppie executive; therefore, as you read this, it is also assumed you are wearing a pair of well-polished $800 Brooks Brothers black captoe leather shoes and silk business socks, a $2,000 pinstriped Armani business suit tailored for you, a $150 silk necktie with matching pocket square and suspenders, a starched white shirt, monogrammed cufflinks, silver tiepin and a Rolex. If you are not dressed like this, stop NOW and continue when you are. FIRST, untie and remove high-and-mighty mirror-shined executive shoes. Peel off fancy socks. DO THIS NOW! This is NOT optional! Be warned: these shoes and socks have been vital to your identity until now, so do not deceive yourself; this will be a challenge to a true yuppie executive. They MUST be removed to move forward into the wonderful new world that awaits you. (Note: This will also work with Johnston & Murphy wingtips or those Italian loafers with those little tassels on them.) 2) Stuff silk socks in shiny shoes and drop in garbage can. 3) *URGENT* Do not, under any circumstances, put shoes back on. You MUST remain barefoot. If you fail, return to step one. This will take discipline! This is where most would-be bubbas fail! You will be tempted to put them back on - resist this! If you have trouble, don't hesitate to call our 800 emergency number. A bona fide trained Bubba coach will help you. 4) The following is guaranteed to help bring you off your high horse in a hurry, and into the redneck world! Trust us! Prop bare feet on polished office desk, with soles facing open office door. Do NOT remove feet from desk, even when co-workers, clients and/or boss enter office. 5) Remove cufflinks and scratch soles of feet with them when others enter office and during office conference. Put cufflinks back on. 6) Use necktie to wipe nose. 7) Use tiepin and/or collar stud to clean toenails. Put tiepin or collar stud back in tie or shirt. 8) Eat lunch with knife only. Wipe dirty knife on otherwise spotless business suit. 9) Reach under suit trouser leg and scratch. Scratch under arms. 10) Open can of beer. Drink rapidly and belch loudly. Practice! Dribble on business suit. Discarded business socks may be used to wipe mouth. Repeat. Pile cans on expensive office carpet. 11) Shout with laughter for no reason. Note: Do NOT be concerned if you experience concern about your dignity. Your dignity will soon disappear! Do not worry! 12) Place tobacco in mouth; place in back of cheek. Practice spitting streams of tobacco juice on to computer screen, or on polished office floor, or on important presentation, or in the cuffs of the trousers of your pinstriped suit. Brooks Brothers shoes may also serve as spittoon. Note: This is the ONLY time when you may retrieve shoes from garbage! See Step #3. 13) Untie and remove natty silk necktie, unfasten and remove gold monogrammed cufflinks, pluck pocket square from suit, unfasten tiepin, unbutton and pull out suspenders and slide Rolex off wrist. Drop ALL items in garbage can. 14) Strip off expensive tailored Armani business suit, starched shirt and designer underwear. Toss in garbage can. Note: Removal of business suit can be traumatic for an uppity upper class businessman. It is comparable to an operation. Be prepared for shock to system. 15) Add briefcase, cell phone and day-timer. 16) Cut up credit cards and throw away wallet. 17) Cut up Ivy League degree. 18) Put on overalls. Walk around in hem to get used to your new look. 19) Practice poor posture and sluggish walk. 20) Cancel subscriptions to Wall Street Journal and New York Times. Have cable disconnected. 21) If you have not already been fired, quit high-paying prestigious white-collar job and stop working altogether. Alternative: become a garbage man or janitor or sling hash in a diner. 22) Make appointment with dentist. Have front teeth removed. 23) Make appointment with surgeon. Have all hair on top of head removed through electrolysis. Let hair grow on sides and back. 24) Shave ONLY twice a week. Be careful to leave stubble at all times. 25) Bathe ONLY twice a week. 26) Begin intensive redneck language course. Do not use more than five words in a sentence. Drop all "NG" endings from words - "havin" instead of "having". Learn to yelp and whoop and holler. 27) Sell Porsche. 28) Buy used pickup. 29) Sell condo. 30) Buy dilapidated shack in backwoods and shotgun rack. 31) Give or throw away all remaining clothes: business suits, ties, shoes, socks, shirts, and accessories, including Burberry tuxedo, overcoat and patent leather pumps worn to corporate black tie events. NOTHING can be retained. 32) Sell stocks and bonds and give all proceeds from these and sale of car and home to a redneck charity. You will NOT need money. 33) Watch NASCAR and pro-wrestling every day. Do NOT miss any episodes. 34) Find wrecked car and leave in front of shack. 35) Have name changed legally from "Mark" or "Andrew" or "Kevin" to "Cletus" or "Bubba" or "Jed". Congratulations! You, Sir, are now the Redneck you have dreamed of becoming! Satisfaction Guaranteed! And no one will ever call you "sir" again!
If my wife works for the competition is there a conflict of interest? I work as a project manager in the finance department of a large life insurance company and can get access to sensitive information. My wife is just about to start working for an even larger life insurance company as a secretary in the executive office and will be working for 3 regional vp's and she has been told that she may have to be discreet with certain information that comes across her desk. Would there be a perception of 'conflict of interest'?
Can I be sued by my inusurance company? I received a letter from my insurance company, delivered to my work by a bailiff, that I would be sued for not paying for 3 months. Can I really be sued as, I have never been in an accident, and really haven't used any of the insurance money i HAD paid to them - therefore I really don't think I owe them anything, and I informed them that I would like to cancel my policy. Also can I counter sue them for defamation of character since it was really embarrassing getting a lawyer letter delivered right to my desk at work, where I am a senior executive.
