Our employers were supposed to supply us with 1000 volt gloves and send them in for certification every 6 months. They never did that in the 9 years I was working on electric cars and only replaced the gloves once or twice.

If I ever have another desk, it will be of the standing variety. I'm not comfortable in a chair for long periods of time anymore.

I usually do OK if I set hourly stand-and-stretch reminders on my phone.

Also, we're still three feet behind our normal average snowfall.

In other news, I loaded up my bike for tomorrow. It's supposed to be in the upper 60's so I might give it a whirl. I felt a little better today and got another laser treatment on the affected lower back area. The Orthopedic Doc said I probably wouldn't cause any damage by riding so I'll make a game time decision. Maybe just 45 minutes. Wednesday is supposed to be 70.
