My legs are still mad at me and this morning probably didn't help. Aside from the vestiges of hormonal fluxuations I'm feeling pretty good today. I could never afford this, but I recently saw a new desk-treadmill that i desperately want. I'm not really used to office work. Most of my life has involved going to some form of college/higher eduation, which involves a lot of walking. You walk from class to class, you walk to the break room, you pack up all your stuff and walk to the bathroom, you walk to another lounge where it's quieter, you run up the stairs to find your professor or turn something in, you run down the stairs to hide in the basement... And my other full-time experiences working have always been standing jobs - factory work (you stand, you walk, you lift heavy things while standing and walking, you slip and do weird dances to stay upright because the floors are perpetually wet and your no-slip shoes can only do so much) and fruit market clerk.
I am not built for sitting at a desk. you wouldn't believe the weird things I do at the office to keep focused (I'm not ADHD, I swear!! I ... think). My favorite activities involve drinking LOTS of water, because this requires me to walk purposefully across the office to get to the water cooler and then purposefully to the bathroom to offload the water. In the bathroom I get to do wall push ups, jumping jacks, squats... whatever. When I'm reading for long periods of time, I have a habit of going to the corner of my office where there is a big stack of boxes and standing while I read. I also walk purposefully to the lunch room for my hourly food and then walk purposefully back to the office to work. Then I purposefully return in order to wash my dishes. It would be a lot more efficient if I could just purposefully walk while doing my work!
