I’m sitting at my desk, back at my job. The contract dispute is over and my contract has been approved for another year.

The whole time that I was out of work, my back and legs did not bother me much. As soon as I sit in this chair, all the pain comes back. Either I need a new chair or I have to quit.

I lost 12 pounds in the three weeks that I was out. I am already gaining it back, I think.
