Even though I work in construction, I’m one of the guys that has a ‘desk job’. As a project manager, I’m on the phone more and more, sending stuff by email, etc. And while I spend most of the day at my desk, I do a lot of getting up to grab files, look at plans, file submittals, and so I am getting up and sitting back down quite a bit. So the concept of a ’stand-up desk’ has intrigued me for quite awhile.
Last place I worked we had a bar-height table for reviewing plans, with a nice high stool on rollers. I would use that a fair amount when reviewing plans and what not. Just as often standing as I flip through pages as using the stool. At my new place, it seems I am up and down from my chair more than ever, so thoughts of a stand up desk have been creeping back to the fore-front of my mind.
