I am sitting in my new office chair, just delivered, as I type this post. Ahhh – it feels good. It should. It took at least four visits (to the office supply store) and what seemed like endless “sits” to find the chair I wanted. The vendor was very helpful – a “mom and pop” operation in a small nearby city – whose “chair person” listed endless features and chair qualities to consider. “This one works well for a lot of desk work”, “men tend to favor this one”, “I just ordered dozens of these for the local hospital executives”, etc.
That last statement really caught my attention. The chair going to the local hospital was not at all comfortable for me. What if I was an “executive” there? I would be very unhappy sitting and working in that chair. OK, maybe it’s not a big deal, but lots of those little deals add up. Chalk another one up for the home-based business as a work at home mom!
Sure, I could probably bring a chair I liked into my theoretical hospital office, but chances are I would have paid for it myself. If that’s going to happen, I might as well get a tax deduction for it 
. Maybe I should craft a bumper sticker: Entrepreneurs choose their own chairs!
