If any post needed a [Satire] tag, it's this one. Great read, and I almost didn't click on it because I am tired of reading about standing desks.

I had clicked, then exited out. When I read your comment, I gave it another look, and am glad I did. Great article.

Standing desks are for people who want the salary of a developer, but also want the physique of a cashier.

I nearly spit out my coffee after reading this line: "I was once a standing-desk skeptic, too. But, after I made the switch four days ago, I could immediately sense a difference in how I felt: way more self-righteous."

This is hilarious, but in all seriousness, standing desk people are approaching vegans in terms of annoyance level.

How do you know that someone has a standing desk? THEY TELL YOU!

I have backpain and I switched to a standing desk and it's working out well. The only problem now is instead of back pain, I'm having foot pain. Is this normal or are there ways to reduce this pain?

I use a standing mat from Varidesk.com which is very helpful. It's also important to wear supportive/comfortable shoes, ideally sneakers.

"According to an important WebMD article that my friend Tony described to me, every minute you spend sitting shaves several years off your life."

I've been dead for years

Me, too. Thankfully, this hasn't affected my level of productivity.

"every minute you spend sitting shaves several years off your life"

Wow, I could be hundreds of years old if I never sit down...
