Editing is bad for you

When I taught editing a few years ago I sometimes saw the bodies of students change. Their minds and skill sets expanded — but their bodies did, too. And it isn’t just happening to students. Too often, the job just isn’t good for you.

Oh yes. I'm with Walter Murch: stand up desks are fantastic.

I used one throughout the 5 months I was on Hp5. I'm now upstairs in the light, but I'm sitting down. Now, I feel worse at the end of every day than I did before. One unspoken advantage of stand up desks is that everyone talks to you face-to-face at an even level. I love it.
