I wasn't aware that squatting is such a big deal.

I often find myself squatting while working at my laptop. Frankly, it's just for a few minutes, because at some point my feet will hurt.

I wonder whether this is just a matter of exercise, or whether squatting for too long (in that position, with a laptop on the thighs) is unhealthy.

Most often I do this while in public transport, where I don't always find a seat. It happens rarely within the train but more often at the station, where the seats are even more limited.

In the beginning, I often looked for a wall to lean my back against. But I soon discovered that I don't really need it. Walls are cold and, in the end, they are just a help for balancing.
