Suddenly, My Boxes Are Looking Pretty Darned Good



April 5, 2020


I prefer to do some of my office work standing up, but I didn’t want to ask the company to pay for a standing desk, because I do about 70 percent of my work sitting down. So when I started my job about 4 years ago, I put some boxes on the desk for the standing work—easy to set up and take down. I took some ribbing for it at first, but eventually people got used to it.

Fast-forward to 2020, and people having to work at home due to COVID-19. I read an article about how people are making home-made standing desks out of ironing boards; laundry hampers; a bathroom sink with a box on top; and, for the outdoor-minded, one person put his laptop on his recycling bin outside.

I emailed the article to my co-workers.
