at home i have a really tall desk. it makes it so i can either sit or stand while i'm at my computer. for the last 4 years i've been wishing that i had a higher desk at work, so i could stand and not turn into a lethargic lazy bum. too often when i feel tired or low on energy, i know it's a problem that could be fixed with some more activity. it's not so bad in the summer because i get out for a walk at lunch time. i've tried working standing up with my desk at it's current height, and it's simply not possible. i was thinking about it yet again the other day, and verbalized these thoughts to frank. he told me that in fact it IS possible to raise the desk, and a number of the engineers have done so. everyone i mention this to thinks i'm crazy at first, but the more i talk about it, they seem to think it makes some sense. when i was in design school we used drafting tables, which is how i acquired this habit. i've put in a request and they maintenance guys said it will be no problem. they'll probably do it on monday or before. i'm counting down the days. i'm tempted to take a before and after photo. oh i am SO excited that my insides won't continue to be squished sitting all day. who knows, maybe i'll be a few inches taller!
i didn't know you kept track, i didn't know there was a score.
well it looks like your the winner and i ain't gonna play no more.

i don't know why, but i think i am almost as excited about your desk-raise as you are. maybe because i really like your desk at home. maybe because i know i feel most alert and least daunted by my own work when i'm hovering. i wish i could raise my desk so i had a 'work table' instead of a desk.
