$#it happens in 3's

My desk chair is leaning. (This pic does look almost exactly like my desk chair.) This is a new development today. As the day has worn on, my chair has leaned more and more and more--perhaps made worse by my leaning to pull something off the printer...thereby distributing more weight in the direction of the lean. I have turned it upside down, shaken it, pushed on the high side...and have been unable to reverse the lean.

My back has been bothering me. Now that I am planning to spend more time at my desk as I take an online class, I certainly cannot use what was once a really comfy leather padded office chair without a lean. It will make my back worse and probably hurt other stuff. This is an ergonomic mess, I tell you.

I guess I'm going to have to call Sears Home Chair Repair or some such thing. Not really, but doesn't that have a catchy ring to it ? I had such great luck with the Sears Home Appliance Repair last week when the washer broke. I'm beginning to get a little nervous, though, now that I digest this situation. The washer was almost 8 years old. The chair is almost 8 years old. What else is almost 8 years old? I have kitchen appliances way older. Ooops...shouldn't have said anything "out loud." Knocking on wood, because we all know that $#it like this happens in 3's.
