Vertigo

I am sitting in my chair at my desk at work. My computer is directly in front of me, sitting on my desk. My chair, and indeed everything on this floor, is on level ground.

However, for some strange reason, I feel as though the pull of gravity has shifted from pulling me straight down, to pulling me forward. Actually, I guess it would be at an angle of about 45° forward from straight down. I feel as though the entire room has rotated around me.

It's like my chair is stuck to the wall, and I'm facing downward, along the wall. Except "down" looks like "forward."

I have had experienced sensations like this for brief periods for many years now, but with long lapses inbetween episodes. It's almost fun, though, somewhat akin to the feeling one would experience on a roller coaster or other thrill ride.

The episode has passed. You may now resume your normal AF use...

A few suggestions, mate.
1. Don't come into work with a hangover
2. Lay off the weed
3. Get rid of your malfunctioning gas-lift chair

I think it'd be really cool, if instead of actually being vertigo, you were just periodically stuck in some sort of gravitational anomaly that actually twisted the gravitational field around you at a crooked angle. So if you actually dropped a pen or something, it would fall down and away from you... that'd be more fun.

Well, nothing was nailed down, and yet the paper cube balanced on its truncated corner that sit on my desk didn't seem to be disturbed in the least by the gravitational shift I experienced.

I have something cool like that on my PC at home! When I get there I'll post it! If I can....

I have that feeling to, but maybe it's because I just ate a big lunch
