At the computer, where do you park your bottom?

I'm adding a picture of me on the stability ball.
I sit on it for hours.
The only time I use a real chair is when I'm eating, when I have some serious web editing to do or when I'm sitting in the car - the stability ball tends to move around too much on the road - - LOL!
So where do you park your bottom when you're at the computer?
Feel free to tell me how much you love my Tinkerbell PJ's or my purple stability ball ;)

Thanks for making me laugh! I saw your title and howled with laughter! Mind you at least you are polite, where do I park my derriere? I have a nice comforty chair which is nicely cushion as I spend a lot of time each day on the computer so I need to be good to my behind, sometimes I will even put a cushion down, little home comforts! All I need is a massage so my shoulders and neck don't get too stiff!

Your chair sound very comfy. A shoulder massage sounds so good. They should invent a chair (and stability ball) with shoulder massage attachments...we'd be all set!

I am sitting on my favorite chair.It is a high backed wooden chair with a padded seat. I use an extra pad so I am sitting high enough.

I wouldn't feel comfortable in that type of chair.

I'm picturing a chair that you can curl up on- a nice chenille throw, a good book and some hot chocolate....

If you can maintain the right posture, indeed, sitting on the ball is very beneficial to your health.
For me, the ball that has now been deflated is not tall enough for me to sit on. I use a normal chair anyway. It is not very comfortable and I don't like it.
Somehow I can't find a sitting tool that is comfortable.*sniff*

Oooh....I like that idea! Have you gotten more toned just from surfing the internet? I am in a predicament right now...I bought a really amazing desk, it is so great to look at, just my dream desk, very minimalistic, but it is high...which means that a normal comfy chair won't work for it, and so I went dumpster-diving once and scored this tall bar-chair (it has a back) which is okay, but not the most comfortable thing. And now I do a lot more work on my computer, so it is not a good situation! Plus, I have extremely narrow stairs and so I can't get a lot of furniture up into the office.

I'm not sure if I'm more toned because I've been using the stability ball for so long I have nothing to compare with. I'm guessing I would be less toned without it though.
I stand at my desk often. I just move my keyboard to the top deck and hunch over a bit. My ideal desk would have a positionable keyboard platform. That way I can adjust it up or down depending on whether I stand or sit.
