I'm going to start standing-sitting while working. Got a desk that can do it. Was curious how it has affected other people.

I have never had a job where I spent the majority of my working time sitting. I really have nothing to compare it to.

Same here. I'd reckon most people do not sit or even stand idle at their jobs. I'd fucking kill to removed about my posture from sitting at home all day.

Sadly, you'd be wrong. In a country where many are too lazy to wash their hands, there's a lot of crossover with being too lazy to exercise.

I used to weigh 350 pounds. What precipitated my weight loss was noticing that, when I got up from my chair, my hips would have to get right (sorry, that's the best way I can explain it) before I'd be able to walk to the copier or go to the rest room. It was a huge early warning sign.
