I work with a dude who stands all day. He has lost weight and says he feels like he hd more energy at the end of they day.

But it is a little creepy that his head is gophering above the cubicle walls all day.

What is it like working in a cubicle? I have never done it, until recently my only formal job was working in restaurants. I can't imagine working in a small box. I sometimes intern as an sound tech for a studio and have to sit in a mixing console and even that gets to me. Guess I'm too much ADD for a cubicle.

working in a cubicle is...

wow... I suppose this is a deeper question than I first realized when you asked it. I suppose it might be a hubski post in and of itself.

Working in a cubicle is unnatural. They feel sterile. The environment is noisy - but not the invigorating noise that can inspire and motivate. Instead it's a noise of people trying to keep their work and their conversation to themselves. It is a din of hushed anxiety.

I'm sure studies have been done. someday I'll read them.
