I've been sitting at the same desk--err $50 plastic banquet table--and in the same chair (another $50 office depot special) for just over 5 years. During that time I have had 3 different names in the upper left hand corner of my paycheck, and 2 different signs on the door (the current company is too <adjective> to change it).
According to the news today, there will shortly be a 4th name to worry about.
Maybe we can eventually get some real desks and chairs (I've been saying that for the past few years since the first time the name changed).
Uh, one correction. The chair that you're sitting on was only $39, not $50
:)
