There's been a lot of buzz lately about the dangers of sitting at one's desk or in front of the boob-tube all day. Some articles actually call sitting a "lethal activity"!
My team and I have embraced the "standing workstation" for a variety of reasons and now there are five of us standing at desktops that are raised up by stacks of printer paper. I must admit, my back does feel better after a long day.
The City's strapped budget is not about to provide real standing workstations or replace our motley assortment of "desk chairs", most of which were swiped from conference rooms and are not designed for long hours at a computer. But we are looking at catalogs to see if we can provide inexpensive stools for the "standers".
