Hello, makers! I need a desk chair.

I’m a cog in the public sector machine and I need a really great chair for my 8-5 cubicle job. I have musculoskeletal and circulatory disease that makes sitting in the same position, especially for days on end, very uncomfortable and even dangerous at times. Happy to pay $$$Several USD for THE Chair ™

Goals:
•Extra wide and deep seat pan with NO “waterfall” front or contouring of the cushion forcing legs into a certain position — maybe 24” square?
•High back that’s NOT a bucket seat style, with a crank or notch adjustment to push a lumbar support forward/backward and slide up or down, and a head rest that can tilt forward/backward or detach entirely like in a car. I like the clicky/ratcheting style in some sporty 2doors where you pull forward incrementally until a forward-most threshold that frees it to flip all the way back and start again?
•Foot/leg rest on center mount sliding rail/rails to either
>>a) Tilt outward like a recliner’s and extend away from the seat a little to lift feet off the ground occasionally
>>b) Extend away from the chair and tilt inwards to rest shins against where feet would be “tucked” under the seat
•A replaceable cover? Or something I could slip a washable cover over? It’s okay if it’s elastic or not super “fitted” to the chair. Some of the custom chair companies I’ve seen have zipper fitted covers made just for their chairs but they’re also super marked up because they’re proprietary
•A separate foot rest stool with maybe some kind of hook to mount it under or on the back of the chair for storage? Would be nice.

Requirements:
•5-arm rolling caster base (per OSHA)
•Adjustable height arm rests that can fully get out of the way on sides, probably have to be mounted to the back of the chair on some kind of sliding rail to go up/down and then either swing around to the back or bend up or down for side clearance
•A back lean/recline adjust dial that won’t let the chair suddenly tilt way back and roll out from under me throwing me to the ground with no counterbalance

I’m in the Austin, TX area and have no firm timeline. I just wanna buy the RIGHT thing.

Are UTemps eligible for auditing and/or credited classes?

This is NOT about STAP eligibility, or student aid, or applying for graduation.

For a UTemp who came in strictly as a Pool candidate/employee, I just want to know if a UTemp with a UTemp EID and a UTemp email address and a UTemp ID card can register for a class, whether it goes toward a degree program or not.

Somnambulism and Pure Autonomic Failure

Good evening from my [26F] corner of the world [TX, USA] — I’m going on six straight nights of sleepwalking and talking events that are becoming more vivid in their waking hallucinations and are harder to come out of.

I’ve had somnambulism my whole life (shocker, with the DA and all that) but things have escalated recently.

Family feels it may be a stress response, even when the “stressors” are technically good things while awake. I was recently married, I got a new job, husband got a new job, we traveled a bit… even though these are “good” stresses, they are tiring nonetheless.

Specifically, I’ve been waking up standing somewhere in my room trying to complete some kind of task I cant complete of course because I’m hallucinating the existence of something I’m trying to interact with. The things don’t feel “out of place” to me while I’m in the hallucination, I don’t feel alarmed or pressured, I’m just trying to take care of something — like putting shoes that aren’t real on a shelf I don’t have — in an environment that feels normal and comfortable to me. The hallucinated features of the room don’t feel “wrong” to me, I accept what I’m seeing as consistent fact, and then wake up confused because the thing I was seeing is suddenly gone and I don’t know why for a moment or two.

This is of course disturbing the Spouse ™ who needs restful sleep as much as I do. If I go to a doctor with this, they’ll either recommend a sleep study or just tell me to try melatonin. And of course if the study doesn’t record any events, THEN melatonin.

What do I do next?

Had a scammer guest claim there were cameras in a bedroom. I couldn’t prove the negative to Customer Support which felt and sounded like a bad translator AI chatbot, and my whole account with all of my travel and listing history is gone with the wind.

If I sell the property, will the buyer be able to list it, or is the geolocation blacklisted? Obviously, there were no cameras inside anywhere.
