Having posted that back in November on my site - I want to give everyone a follow-up!
I'm still standing and I usually take short breaks to sit when I feel like it throughout the day. I will agree that it's more 'constantly moving' then standing. I walk around, put my knee up on the desk, etc. I was always shaking my legs when sitting anyway. I still love it and would suggest it for those fidgety people.
When I sit now - people ask me what's up...:p I got 3 months of "You STAND all day??", followed by 3 months of "You're sitting DOWN??" when I would be caught sitting at my desk. Everyone here is pretty accepting of it - but I'm worried if my cube moves or the office gets redesigned, will this setup still work? If you're going to do this - be prepared for a little bit of outcry.
Issues I've had: I'm 6'4" and can see over these cubes ANYWAY, but now that I'm standing it does tend to make my co-workers nervous. They told me this and I try to refrain from peeking down at them without notice. When the 'new guy' started - they didn't put him in the empty cube next to me, for fear of my talking head scaring him away.:D My back is to the window, and the glare from the sun on the cars in the parking lot goes right into my eyes. If I had a taller cube (or actually sat down) this wouldn't be an issue - so I usually sit in the afternoons when the glare is bad.
For the time being I will refrain from building a cube wall height extension.:O If I want to sit I angle the monitors down and place the keyboard / mouse back on the desk and pull out a small chair stored under the left of my desk. I'm keeping my eye out for an inexpensive stool - but I still may have the sun glare issue.
