I've never tried a standing desk, but I find I just need to change sitting position or seat height and I'm fine. I put my feet on another chair sometimes, turn slightly to one side or the other side, and if I use a computer for an extended period at home, I do that horizontally.
I guess never having had a long driving commute (I've had short driving and cycling commutes and long public transport commutes) has helped, but I've never had much of a problem, and I've passed the 30 mark. Perhaps I'll retract these words after another 10 years of office life. 2012/3/2 Cédric Beust ♔ <ced...@beust.com> > > > > > On Thu, Mar 1, 2012 at 6:36 PM, Chris Koerner <chessm...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> but since I can afford a ball far more readily than trying to get my >> employer to get me a standing desk > > > Labor laws in the US are very strict about this kind of thing, and > employers are usually willing to do whatever their employees ask when it > comes to work conditions of this kind because the cost of ergonomic studies > and furniture are usually a fraction of what they might end up paying if > they get sued and lose. > > I would think this should be even of a no-brainer for a furniture > company... > > -- > Cédric > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "The Java Posse" group. > To post to this group, send email to javaposse@googlegroups.com. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > javaposse+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/javaposse?hl=en. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
