You are not imagining this. At my Dutch university, we have a hiring freeze (with some exceptions) in anticipation of the budget cuts that the Dutch government has announced

A crowd of protesters in Groningen with signs that say “I brought a tractor to show how angry we are” and a torn sign that says “onderwijs?” To signify the damage the budget cuts would do to education

Mit Lehne hatte ich den HAG Capisco probiert, von der Idee her sehr cool, aber leider für meine Anatomie irgendwie nicht passend

Ich musste mich erst ranarbeiten, um länger als 1-2 Stunden auf ihm auszuhalten. Aber jetzt ist er toll und ich will nie mehr einen normalen Stuhl. Man braucht dann aber auch einen höheren oder höhenverstellbaren Schreibtisch (bei mir ein billiger von IKEA). Das Ausleihen hat mich überzeugt!
