[hopeless]

Well, most companies aren't going to pay for a standing desk (and we're forbidden from using our own equipment). There's also the cultural thing: if I was standing I'd be able to see across the whole floor of cubicles which not only makes me very conspicuous but might also make other quite uneasy (like I'm watching them).

Anyway, that's one of the reasons why I'm leaving so I can work from home at my standing desk. I believe standing desks will be the next trend in perks that great companies offer - so it'll probably take >15yrs before it becomes mainstream.

Luckily the cubicles here are tall and easily modifiable. I went ahead (w/ the help of a co-worker) and adjusted the cubicle desk to a stand up height without asking for permission. My boss did not like the idea of a stand up desk one bit but I explained my perspective and he let me be.
