Man, my new spot in the office is great and all. Has a window view. Spacious. Etc...
However, for some reason I keep accumulating major static charge there. I can be sitting down, doing whatever, then when I get up I accidentally brush against the metallic part of the desk, or the wall, or practically anything... POP!
This is no little "snap". You can probably see an arc when the discharge happens if the lights were out.
It doesn't "hurt", but it sure does surprise the f*ck out of me, and it makes me elicit a pretty loud "F*CK!", which is probably somewhat unprofessional.
It wouldn't be bad if I knew what was causing the charge. Then I could anticipate. But I don't know what it is. I've done everything. I cannot figure out how I'm charging up. And if I avoid touching anything I know that at some point, when I'm not thinking about it, I will ground myself and say f*ck.
If this goes on, people will start to suspect I have Tourette's.
