    sedentary jobs helps you grow sideways. i dunno, i guess it’s pretty bad, but you can make light of any situation. walk to work, eat healthy, be social and you should be fine

    Sitting, obviously is lack of exercise and too tired when you get home to exercise and can’t get out of bed in the morning because your too tired then too. Therefore major weight gain, higher cholesterol, lack of circulation in the legs, higher blood pressure, no stress relief.

    Sitting in an old building that still has asbestos in the ceiling and walls and the company doesn’t want to remove it until they absolutely have to because it will affect their bottom line.

    Major stress from deadlines and other people who don’t want to do their jobs so you can’t do yours effectively.

    Stress on spouses because they are doing the same and someone still has to manage the household cleaning, shopping, kids, finances, family obligations, etc.

    Children are stressed because “mom” isn’t home when they get home from school anymore. Neither mom or dad have the time or energy to listen to what their kids have to say because between work and running the kids to ball games who has time?

    Poor nutrition because it takes energy to cook so we are all eating processed foods with preservatives for on the go meals.

    Spouses argue because they don’t have time for each other because they again, are trying to juggle everything.

    Stress of traffic and everyone getting up late to get to work and having road rage because everyone is leaving at the same time and you know you’re going to be late and probably get fired and you can’t afford to get fired because your in hock up to your eyeballs and you need the health insurance because your job is making you sick!
