LOL...my current gig is work from home, so luckily I can sit :-D Every place where I have worked where I am on site, it has been a literal stand up. It just makes me uncomfortable because I am the only one sitting down. Due to injuries to my knees from the military and subsequent damage to my back and hips...standing just isn't an option for me.
