If I need ...I try to take every opportunity to run. If I need to go copy something, if no one happens to be looking, I'll just run down the hall real fast and then slow down right before I walk into the copy room, so no one knows.<br /><br />If I weren't worried that it would seem unseemly or unprofessional, I'd probably run everywhere. It saves a lot of time. The only disadvantage arises when you're dealing with blind corners or people engaged in conversation and walking backwards (or people engaged in conversation while walking backwards around blind corners). I've noticed that a high proportion of near-misses and collisions that I get involved in in the workplace involve people walking backwards or otherwise not watching where they're going.Nathan Larsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01167563255125375775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7879980.post-89326300887019096302006-09-15T14:44:00.000-04:002006-09-15T14:44:00.000-04:00Heh.

I'm currently wearing a pair of <a href="http://www.supporthosestore.com/jobformengra1.html">Jobst orthopedic socks</a> that were given to me by a member when I worked at the Health Industry Distributors Assn. We were talking on the trade show floor during our convention. I told him how your feet wind up hurting so bad during the convention and he sent me a couple of pairs for free. I highly recommend them!Ben Martin, CAEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15458543500102665114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7879980.post-45735918803775370322006-09-15T14:08:00.000-04:002006-09-15T14:08:00.000-04:00I have a personal convention rule that I share wit...I have a personal convention rule that I share with any new staffers: Buy new socks. Nothing feels better for tired feet than brand new socks, espcially when you know you have three more 14-hour days ahead of you. <br /><br />And, don't even think about wearing heels. :)<br /><br />- Anon in INAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
