at work we just started having daily stand up meetings because the idea is that standing for a long time is uncomfortable and yet we have standing desks too :confused:

i stand up at my desk all the time and have to take this learning posture. or i try correct in by bending my knees till my hand just barely reaches the mouse.

then i feel like everyone in the cubicle next to me thinks i'm spying on them.

we're blessed with aeron chairs and a gym, but yeah i wish i could stand still.

perhaps just as good as a standing desk, though: a macbook stand (??)
