Standing desks

[catastrophe]

every desk in our massive company is going to sit/stand. millions of dollars to do this. I'm like, just get me a million dollar desks and let everyone else sit like they're going to anyway and save the rest of that green.

They getting a break on health insurance? Wouldn't be shocked.

I use my standing desk about 2 hrs / day on average (had it for about 5 months now), but my office neighbor who has had his for longer barely uses it at all anymore.

Does anyone ever sit at their standing desk and pretend they're a little kid?  That would be pretty funny

[catastrophe]

Probably should have clarified mine is a sit/stand one. Standing all day isn't much better for you than sitting all day.

This is all good stuff guys, keep it coming

[Kat Kid]

I have a standing desk and love it.

Me too, it eliminated all neck and back pain from sitting.

In a cost cutting measure my company eliminated all computers, and then decided we don't need desks anymore.  Still get chairs, tho.  We're not animals.

I lean all the way back in my chair, it's basically like laying down and my neck/back never hurt

One company that I used to work for (after I left) eliminated chairs in meeting rooms so that all meetings were standing so that people didn't waste time in meetings. I don't think that lasted too long....well actually the company got sold and now doesn't even exist.

Didn't they also deactivate reply all on Outlook because of the morons there?

Oh yes, that is correct.

How do you keep the monitor/keyboard/mouse from falling on your face?

[star seed 7]

It's on the desk

[Brock Landers]

Standing desks are what happens when a "Hey guys who buy crap for work!" interaction goes horribly wrong.

[star seed 7]

Now imagine I'm fully leaned back (about 60 degrees pry) and slid into the corner all the way. It's extremely comfortable.

[pissclams]

i want to eliminate desks altogether.  i want a hammock. 

[Mrs. Gooch]

pry

 

Also, doesn't seem like the angle of your face to the screen is best for viewing. (Needs to be above your head like in that video I posted.)

[star seed 7]

I have no monitor placement problems. They are set as low as possible, I could raise them like a foot if it was more comfortable

[XocolateThundarr]

I use mine everyday...probably about a 40% standing/60% sitting ratio.

[Mrs. Gooch]

Do any of you guys do like squats or calf raises while standing at your desk?

[CNS]

Nope, but I do squats and deadlifts at the gym.
