Custom Home Office Furniture

You know what I mean. Those weird droopy armrests that seem to be universal these days simply do not allow proper relaxation. My last old-style office chair wore out a few years ago, and even though it had its drawbacks, I miss it. I'd removed the original small straight armrests and replaced them with large blocky padded chunks of wood. They were comfortable. This sort of thing can't be done with the new-style armrests, though, at least not without really extensive modifications or outright custom-made replacements.

For that matter, why is it so hard to get an inexpensive office chair that actually supports the head? It seems the only models available that do this are extremely expensive multiple-thousand-dollar "executive" models. I suspect it is a very intentional conspiracy of snobbery amongst office furniture manufacturers intended to extort way excessive profits.

Is it really true that the only way to get a real office chair that has normal armrests and a full back that supports the head is to have it custom-made by a grinning, sympathetic home-based carpenter and welder who used to work in an office and who understands the whole corrupt game quite well?

It might be where they come from. That droopy look is called a J-arm or "Eurostyle."

You can look up straight arm office chairs online, but I can't direct you to a specific sight, because I don't know what you are exactly looking for (including price).

From a SW Bell employee:




"I spent five years working in Mexico. I worked under a tourist Visa for three months and could legally renew it for three more months. After that you were working illegally. I was technically illegal for three weeks waiting on the FM3 approval.

"During that six months our Mexican and U.S. attorneys were working to secure a permanent work visa called a 'FM3'. It was in addition to my U.S. passport that I had to show each time I entered and left the country. Barbara's was the same, except hers did not permit her to work.

"To apply for the FM3, I needed to submit the following notarized originals (not copies):
1. Birth certificate for Barbara and me.
2. Marriage certificate.
3. High school transcripts and proof of graduation.
4. College transcripts for every college I attended and proof of graduation.
5. Two letters of recommendation from supervisors I had worked for at least one year.
6. A letter from the St. Louis Chief of Police indicating that I had no arrest record in the U.S. and no outstanding warrants and, was "a citizen in good standing".
7. "Finally, I had to write a letter about myself that clearly stated why there was no Mexican citizen with my skills and why my skills were important to Mexico. We called it our 'I am the greatest person on Earth' letter. It was fun to write."

"All of the above were in English that had to be translated into Spanish and be certified as legal translations, and our signatures notarized. It produced a folder about 1.5 inches thick with English on the left side & Spanish on the right."

"Once they were completed Barbara and I spent about five hours, accompanied by a Mexican attorney, touring Mexican government office locations and being photographed and fingerprinted at least three times at each location, and we remember at least four locations where we were instructed on Mexican tax, labor, housing, and criminal law and that we were required to obey their laws or face the consequences. We could not protest any of the government's actions or we would be committing a felony. We paid out four thousand dollars in fees and bribes to complete the process. When this was done we could legally bring in our household goods that were held by U.S. Customs in Laredo, Texas. This meant we had rented furniture in Mexico while awaiting our goods. There were extensive fees involved here that the company paid."

"We could not buy a home and were required to rent at very high rates and under contract and compliance with Mexican law."

"We were required to get a Mexican driver's license. This was an amazing process. The company arranged for the licensing agency to come to our headquarters location with their photography and fingerprint equipment and the laminating machine. We showed our U.S. license, were photographed and fingerprinted again and issued the license instantly after paying out a six dollar fee. We did not take a written or driving test and never received instructions on the rules of the road. Our only instruction was to never give a policeman your license if stopped and asked. We were instructed to hold it against the inside window away from his grasp. If he got his hands on it you would have to pay ransom to get it back. "

"We then had to pay and file Mexican income tax annually using the number of our FM3 as our ID number. The company's Mexican accountants did this for us and we just signed what they prepared. It was about twenty legal size pages annually."

"The FM3 was good for three years and renewable for two more after paying more fees."

"Leaving the country meant turning in the FM3 and certifying we were leaving no debts behind and no outstanding legal affairs (warrants, tickets or liens) before our household goods were released to customs."

"It was a real adventure and if any of our Senators or Congressmen went through it once they would have a different attitude toward Mexico."

"The Mexican government uses its vast military and police forces to keep its citizens intimidated and compliant. They never protest at their capitol or government offices, but do protest daily in front of the United States Embassy. The U.S. Embassy looks like a strongly reinforced fortress and during most protests the Mexican military surrounds the block with their men standing shoulder to shoulder in full riot gear to protect the Embassy. These protests are never shown on U.S. or Mexican TV. There is a large public park across the street where they do their protesting. Anything can cause a protest such as proposed law changes in California or Texas."

I also would like to know why. Several years ago I traveled for pleasure by car for several months in Mexico. I was frequently stopped at military check-points where I was confronted by uniformed and visibly armed soldiers who questioned as to why I was there. They demanded to see my 'papers' - my passport, my auto registration and insurance, my US driver's license - and was asked if I had illegal substances. My glove box and trunk were even searched twice.

This was a universal road-block designed for everyone to stop but only Caucasians were actually stopped, questioned and searched. Mexicans were waved through. Was I a victim of racial profiling? Absolutely. Did it upset me? No, I was in a foreign country and I felt that that country had every right to protect itself and it's citizens in any way they felt necessary so I complied with its rules. If I didn't want to do that and didn't like how I was being treated, I SHOULD HAVE GONE HOME.

The United States government should protect this country and its citizens and if it fails to do so, individual states have every right to do so. You go, Arizona.
