"Active Sitting" office craze coming to a cube near you

Top Ten ways to determine if your office has been hit by the "Active Sitting" craze like mine has:

10. Complants of back problems have mysteriously disappeared.
9. You have sudden urge to run out to Marshalls to get a yoga ball just so you can be just like everyone else.
8. All of the office-issued chairs sit empty in the hallways.
7. Each morning you can hear the "squeak squeak squeak" as a new ball is being pumped up to the perfect size.
6. The only question anyone cares about is "did you get a medium or a large?"
5. You have to squelch all urges to pick up your ball and bounce it.
4. You now speak only while bouncing; for example: "Thank you...for calling...and asking...about missions"
3. You constantly worry about whether or not you will fall into the cublicle wall causing a domino effect down the aisle.
2. You come out of the bathroom and see heads bouncing above the cubicle walls all over the office.
1. Your ever-skeptical co-worker Daniel asks you to pick up one for him (pictures to prove it are pending).

Nope, I don't live in your old cube, but we took the pics over there b/c that's where Kendra was and we wanted to take the pics not out in the open =). Bess is in your cube now. Allie is in Jamie's old one. Allie was the one who got me started on blogging.

I know, the active sitting thing is pretty crazy! There's only like 4 of us who do it, so it's really not a "craze" and sometimes I take a break and go back to my nice comfy chair.
