The newest craze at my workplace is the standup desk; between 90 to 95 percent of my coworkers have one.

  You know I have installed cameras and microphones everywhere!

It's a good job you didn't install big ones then....

Nice.  :)
I don't have my glasses on but are those peanuts in that shallow dish to the right of the computer?  What is that??

Looks like some sort of Trail Mix. M&Ms, pretezels etc. 

Did you also get diplomas in Cosmetology, Court and Convention Reporting and Legal Secretarial?   Oh yeah, I use that stuff all the time.  ...

No.  I wasn't nearly as well-rounded.  I stuck with your basic Business Management where I most likely would be sitting down at least 80/90 percent of the time.
I'm just not a "suit" or "desk person" type.  I graduated in Business because it might open the most doors.  It did but it wasn't my cup of tea to do all the time. 
Please don't get me wrong.  I'm still glad I have it and do use it to a certain degree but not in the major form I was trained to do.
I would have LOVED to go into Cosmetology.  There, you would be doing a ton of standing, not sitting, it would seem. That would also be a benefit! :) :) This post was edited by Merlin at November 1, 2019 2:37 PM MDT

  You may have misunderstood or misread. It’s a new craze at my workplace in particular, I did not say that standup desks themselves are a new thing.

No. I did not misunderstand. Where do you work, Randy? 1995?

No need to snipe. It’s simple: up until recently, there were no standup desks installed at my workplace. A coworker had one installed, other coworkers jumped on the bandwagon and installed them also. Soon, as I stated in the original post, between 90 to 95 percent of the desks are the standup type. At no point did I state that the desks are a recent discovery by my coworkers, only that it’s a recent trend of them being used using at this workplace.  Just because they haven’t been used here before doesn’t mean that the people are backwards nor outdated.

OMG Randy! Don't get your blather in a lather.

I'm just saying that sitdown desks have been around for a while. Besides the benefits that I listed, it also fosters creativity.  You said that stand-up desks "are a recent discovery by my coworkers." What am I to think?

If you're holding out because you are content playing solitaire with the computer screen turned away from the office door and think men's pants size 44 is an attractive look. Go for it

*giggle* 

You said that stand-up desks "are a recent discovery by my coworkers." What am I to think?

That’s the exact opposite of what I wrote. What are you to think?  Try thinking that you read it wrong.

Oh..I missed the first part of that comment, sorry...
but I stand by everything else I said. 

 Stop being so sensitive ...and caustic  

 Don’t tell me how to be. 
~

Why? You told me, "No need to snipe."

  There’s a difference between the two statements. I made a declaration, a point of lack of necessity; I did not tell you what to do, while yours is a mandate, an order, an imperative.

So?

Your answer reminded me of an incredible discovery Don's little brother had about 10 years ago. I kid you not!..  

"Man, I just found a new band you might like.
 The Grateful Dead." 
When Don told me this, I just about died.  "REALLY??????????  With my jaw on the floor, I looked at Don with that scrutinizing eye, "What did you say to your younger brother who thinks he just discovered The Grateful Dead?" 
Don, not wanting to burst his brother's bubble said,
"Ya, from what I've heard of them, I do like their stuff.  See if you can get some tickets if they ever come to town and we will go to a show."
The stupidly amazing fact to me was how his brother had NOT already heard of "The Grateful Dead." How was that possible?
Anyway, Don made a great call by not bursting his bubble of "discovery" with the "re" in front of it.
His brother later found out, obviously, that they had been making music longer than he had walked the planet ...
but in those moments, he thought he had discovered a new band.  Does this make us old because we have adult secrets and know it is a rediscovery and just not tell them? 
;) :) 

I will respond to you latter, Merlin. I don't want you to think I am ignoring you. I have to leave and wanted to drop a turn on Randy's sit-down desk blotter. LOL
