Check Craigslist or FB marketplace. Aerons are always being cleared out. I have one and added an aftermarket headrest to it.

I use an Aeron Remastered chair.

My office chair sucks and gives me back pain so certainly not missing that chair.

I’ve been a freelance print production designer for many years, and usually on-site in the before times. Now I work remote, and am finding it uneasy dealing with billing. Before I always billed hourly, which made sense, but it’s becoming an issue now. Some companies don’t have a full days’ work, so it seems wrong to bill full days, and it allows me to juggle projects for different companies, but my billable hours are down. I know I should bill a daily rate, but not sure that will fly. Thoughts?

I've tried asking them to do more on their own, but when I do, they fail spectacularly.
