In the past few years, standing has become the new sitting for 10
percent of AOL employees at the firm's Dulles campus, part of a
standing ovation among accountants, programmers, bureaucrats,
telemarketers and other office workers across the nation.

GeekDesk, a California company that sells $800 desks raised by
electric motors, says sales will triple this year. It has sold
standing desks to the Secret Service and the U.S. Geological
Survey. Many firms and government agencies require standing setups
in new contracts for office furniture.

Personally, I spend a lot of time at work sitting cross-legged, in
what used to be called tailor style. It just feels more comfortable.

You musta missed the treadmill desk.... no foolin...

plus many other google hits.

Steelcase (an age old office furniture company) made one of the first, iirc,
very expensive.
I'd rather be flogged than forced to work standing or at a treadmill desk.
Fuck Dat....
