I just started a new job a few months ago and have found myself in a very uncomfortable working situation. I am seated at a long table crammed in between a lot of desktop items. There’s very little working space and no personal storage whatsoever for me to even have a place to put in a pair of shoes or a bottle of hand lotion. I don’t even have room to put up a framed photo if I wanted to. Zero.
Behind my chair are two offices with glass doors, and when those doors are open, they are so close to the back of my chair that you can’t pass between my chair and the door.
Any thoughts on how to make this more comfortable? On top of that my actual desk chair itself is very uncomfortable and I brought in one of those lumbar support pillows right away and it does help a little bit, but the chair is still a piece of crap. I suppose there’s nothing I can do about that.
I’ve been pretty stressed out at this job and I think if I could make myself physically more comfortable, the stress of the work itself might not seem as bad.
