Hmmm, except it's "common" knowledge in the waitress industry that being busy enough to have to walk around and do things frequently is way better than slow day

Hmmm, except it's "common" knowledge in the waitress industry that being busy enough to have to walk around and do things frequently is way better than slow days when there's lots of standing around. standing around wreaks havoc on joints and stuff.
so....if you have a standing desk maybe the point is that you walk around more, whereas when one sits one is less inclined to get up for a minute walk.
- TheBurningOr 16y agoI'm finding with my standing desk that having good shoe support and a good soft carpet/pad to stand on is quite important.
- TheBurningOr 16y agoI'm finding with my standing desk that having good shoe support and a good soft carpet/pad to stand on is quite important for that very reason. It does help me to walk around more. I tend to move around quite a bit more than when I was just standing.

- eru 16y agoHave you tried using your desk barefooted?
- pavel_lishin 16y agoMight be hard in an office environment.
- eru 16y agoDepends on your company. I am alternating going barefooted and using the Vibram Fivefingers where I work.
- vitobcn 16y agoOr wearing Vibram FiveFingers. That's what I do.
- mattm 16y agoProbably the same reason why men don't like shopping - too much standing around and not enough movement. I tried a self-made standing desk for a couple days but went back to sitting because I couldn't take the standing for long periods of time.
