<div><em><strong>This is where &#8220;superior&#8221; people sit. People deemed more important than support staff. People who get paid gobs more than the staff beneath them. In a catalog it&#8217;s actually labeled &#8220;Executive Chair&#8221;:</strong></em></div>
</div>

<p><a href="http://thecubiclerebel.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/executive_1.png"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-176" title="executive_1" src="http://thecubiclerebel.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/executive_1.png?w=300&#038;h=214" alt="" width="300" height="214" /></a></p>
<p>Meanwhile this is the chair your butt must plop into while <strong>you </strong>handle a &#8221;superior&#8217;s&#8221; paperwork:</p>
<p><a href="http://thecubiclerebel.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/bigandtall_1.png"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-177" title="bigandtall_1" src="http://thecubiclerebel.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/bigandtall_1.png?w=300&#038;h=154" alt="" width="300" height="154" /></a></p>
<p>Is his butt more superior than yours?</p>
<p>So what, he&#8217;s put in twenty years longer than you have. Your butt is important to you. It is a vital part of your anatomy. I mean, after all, you&#8217;re the one who does all the dirty work.  In fact, you cover <strong>their </strong>butt all the time.  Why can&#8217;t your butt be held by a buttery soft comfy chair, too?</p>
<p><strong>Gosh, do you have to wait twenty more years before you&#8217;re deemed important enough to have an &#8220;Executive&#8221; chair? </strong></p>
<p>Twenty years is a long time to wait for your butt to be cushioned properly. Why, at 40 hours/week that&#8217;s a gazillion hours from now. What if you get pregnant in that time period? I mean, is there a <strong>Pregnant Woman </strong>chair to accomodate your wider frame, your swollen-ness? What if you gain thirty pounds from eating four million &#8220;treats&#8221; from the vending machine in those twenty more years?</p>
<p>I mean really, would you sit in this chair at your home for eight hours a day, perched facing in one direction?</p>
<p>I&#8217;m sorry. Did I upset you? Wait. I didn&#8217;t mean to ruin your weekend. I&#8211;I just wanted to awaken your inner rebel, your dormant confrontational equal rights self. Here&#8217;s a suggestion for Monday when you return to work after a refreshing three or four-day weekend:</p>
<p>Get the Staples (or Ben&#8217;s Office Furniture) catalog, march into aforementioned superior&#8217;s office with the &#8220;executive&#8221; chair of your choice circled boldly with a black Sharpie and <del>demand</del> ask for a new improved chair, one <del>just like</del> similar to the one his/her butt is resting comfortably on.</p>
<p>After all, your butt is very important to you.</p>
<p><em>I&#8217;m here 4 you. </em></p>
