Standing desks

<--- Before moving on from the Support Team, we had to order, assemble, and configure almost 100 of these desks. Just telling you my experience.

Ah.

Real good thread.

I always wanted to try the big bouncy ball thing. Looks fun.

I have one, got it for $20 on Amazon (with a pump). Works okay, but I can't type very well while using it, so I forget about it sometimes. But it's a nice to have.

Can't believe at how many are bitching. Same stuff your parents' generation said about the things you take for granted. Better is better, period. And from a pure survival of the fittest experience, I'd rather have a better functioning back and spinal system for the zombie apocalypse, thanks.

Honestly, I think it should be those bums in HR. They're one real good unifying benefits portal away from being outsourced anyways.. Might as well pick up a screwdriver and wrench.

HR people are also, by and large, the biggest gossips and shitheads in any company.

At our office you have to build your own desk (or bring your own in) and most people have done standing desks. We came up with a nifty design that looks pretty good and costs about $50 in wood and hardware.

I have an old school tanker desk that I brought in because I'm a MCM honk. I do a lot of standing, walking, and occasional labor in my job so I don't have the need to stand.

Oh, most people with standing desks eventually get barstools to sit on and split their time between standing and sitting.
