[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lawyer here--previously in Big Law, now in government--and I take my shoes off and sit crisscross applesauce whenever possible.  Mostly in my office, but occasionally in meetings if I can get away with it.  Sitting for long periods really hurts my knees, hips, and back, and sitting crisscross applesauce is the only way I can get comfortable.  It never occurred to me that someone might be annoyed by it, and it certainly is not intended as some sort of statement of non-conformity.  I'm just in pain.  [/quote]

Just saw this. I just wrote I do this. Must be funny. I’m a 50 yo litigation attorney. I spend so much time at my desk writing and reading. I love it. If I could only smoke cigarettes while working and have lots of coffee I’d never leave my desk!  [/quote]  They key here is that you said you did it at your desk and in meetings "when you can get away with it."  You seem to have some understanding that it isn't professional and not acceptable in all settings.  Although, having worked in both government and Big Law unprofessional behavior is much more acceptable in government.[/quote]
