I have a desk job, which means I sit... a lot. Sitting for hours makes me sluggish, so every so often I make myself get up from the desk to move.
My body likes that.
I walk down the long hallway and back again, sometimes glancing into other offices along the way out of my peripheral vision.
I walk through the main atrium, zig-zagging through the traffic of people milling about or waiting in line to buy a cup o' joe and pastry from the little coffee kiosk.
I walk down the stairs to the basement, travel through the coridors and then climb up the stairs to the 4th floor where my office is located.
I walk fast, like a power walker- but without all the arm pumping. People who see me may think I'm on an important mission. You could say I'm on a noble mission to improve my health. I suppose that's true, but really... I just want to get the feeling back into my bum!!!

Your last line made me laugh! I actually think having feeling in your bum is a very noble mission!!
While I can get tired at my two part-time jobs from all the standing, it does keep me moving, which is nice.
What’s funny is that in my previous job I stood ALL the time! That made me feet and sometimes lower back tired.
I seem to be going from one extreme to the other!
LOL That’s funny – I thought you were writing about me! I do the same thing! My bum gets numb too!
Lisa,
I’m so prone to getting a numb bum that I wrote a post about it!
