I switched to standing-only at work about 10 years ago and it's been great, except for a 2-year stretch where the cleaners in the building I worked in would somehow find a free desk chair and push it under my desk every. single. night. So every morning when I got to work there'd be an office chair sitting on my standing mat and I'd have to find somewhere to put it. I tried moving it far away, finding a chairless desk on the other side of the building, but somehow they kept finding me a chair I didn't want and rolling it onto my mat. Eventually I got a little guest stool and would pull that over onto my mat when I left, and that worked as a decoy chair and kept them from adding a chair. Maybe this comic was about them.

We are kind of unique in our ability to sit on chairs, the majority of animals throughout evolutionary history have some form of tail. Imagine we meet aliens and every species is incapable of sitting on a chair, it'd make start trek look a little foolish.

I'd like a desk that would walk with me.

This is what I like about smartphones. I can just use it while walking around the room. Or at least while spinning on one of those rotating chairs.

As a matter of fact, I am walking around in the kitchen as I am typing this.

The thing I don't understand is why it's more popular to have motorized desks that go up and down instead of just having fixed desks at standing height and taller chairs.

if i could walk while sitting I would

I miss the electric standing desk at my old job. It also came with this skateboard thing to balance on that was pretty nice.

standing an kneeling are so much better for the torso, back and hips than sitting in a tradchair

I swear my toddler is growing up to be Jim, she just plays standing all day. Hardly ever sits on the floor and the whole table-chair-concept is being ignored. Whenever she's eating it seems like she belongs next to a food truck.

a pneumatic table is definitely one of my must-haves this year.. just so darn expensive

Sometimes you get tired of sitting in a chair all day. Especially if you don't work from home
