Everyone knows that office chairs are two for a penny, right?
Everyone except WFMU it seems.
This tuesday past I dragged my fur hooded self in from the cold on a flying visit to the WFMU studios, wherein I was engaged in conversation by erstwhile Best Show associate producer, call screener and celebrity Kevin Smith messageboard troll Mike.
Mike, need I remind you, is the last, the only barrier that stands between the unwashed masses and Tom himself. Mike takes bullets on a weekly basis not just for Tom but for us listeners too. Mike is all that stands between us and the aural anarchy of unfettered call-ins, nobly he asks for nothing in return.
Seeing as how Mike is a volunteer you'd imagine he'd be compensated in other ways. You're probably imagining Mike answering phones while sitting in a nice comfy office chair, charcoal grey upholstery sheathing a Tempur-Pedic™ cushion nestling Mike's buttocks, comfy arm rests support his elbows and an orthapedic back rest cradles his weary spine. But no gentle reader, the shameful truth is that Mike is forced to sit in a chair in such a shocking state of disrepair it makes one of Spike's orange crates look like a La-Z-Boy™.
If you or your workplace have a chair they no longer require and you're in the Jersey City area then please get in touch.
Come on people, let's do this - let's get Mike a chair.
