Since sitting has acquired the sobriquet
Of “the new smoking”, people have been trying in their work day
To stand, move more, in an effort to sit less
Thus you see the profusion of standing and treadmill desks
Realizing that I spend hours before a computer in documentation
I got on this bandwagon too, in an effort at augmentation
Of my time spent not sitting around
But unfortunately for me, I found
That walking on a treadmill while trying to type or dictate
Was too distracting, something I promptly came to hate
I could either complete my notes or walk but doing both simultaneously
Was too inefficient in every way for me
Then I tried a standing desk, after all I would still be stationary
But I found that being upright prevented me from thinking clearly
*
So I just sit and efficiently complete
Tasks that are best accomplished with me glued to my seat
To stand and walk frequent breaks I take
To get exercise and the monotony of busy work break
But using a treadmill or standing desk at my workplace
Is a strategy that I am unable to embrace
