Obligatory Thanksgiving Post
Maybe this is a little bit meta, but today I'm thankful that I can be thankful. Plenty has happened in life, and there's lots to be bitter about. I'm glad I have a place of my own with a few perks I wasn't expecting, I can have my dog with me, and that I was able to find a way to keep Donovan (the loyal sidekick that he is).

Wobble While You Work
Like many foreward thinking worplaces, my employer has provided several resources we can use to enrich our day to day experience with the company. I have yet to take advantage of the 15 minute massage offerings, but the walkstation and I have become fairly close over the last month.
What we have is a standing workstation area fitted with a special treadmill that tops out a 2 miles per hour. There are no handrails because the theory is, you'll be typing while walking, so you won't need them. Once you clip the safety auto-stop to your clothes, set your weight and speed, you're off and puffing. Or at least I was. (My greatest fear was to have a caller hear the humming of the machine in the background and hear my heavier than normal breathing and get the absolute wrong message about which number they'd dialed.)
