It's like working at McDonalds
I read about kinokofry's "standing desk", then I checked out a bland NYT article about them. I enjoy my adjustable height desk at home a great deal, and our desks in the office raise and lower with this model-T like crank, so I decided to crank it up and stand in front of my desk at work all day.
It does definitely make me more attentive! Partly because standing idle causes my feet to get sore. This induces lots of pacing, body shifting, and making my nearby coworkers uneasy. My desk didn't raise up enough for it to really be tenable long-term, I need a booster to elevate it about another 8".
Every single person that saw me doing this said the same thing. "Do you have back problems?" NO, I'm just prone to experimenting. Also, my desk had that crank feature. I love using features.
Other experiments today: wrote a servlet in scala built with maven. This actually worked! (?? (!! (!??!?!))) I can tell the Scala is juuuust starting to take hold in my brain. 3 hours is probably enough of that for one night. zz, folks.
