Okay, so on the first week of a standing desk at the office.
Distinct advantages have come to light, the first one is to visit someone at their desk.
When more than one or two people are visiting your workstation at a sitting desk you have to find a lot of chairs. Then the chairs need to roll around and re position for someone to face your computer and do something on your keyboard. This is almost always a slow process involving a lot of awkward chair rolling, and in the rare case, a chair might get stuck and fall spilling a programmer to the floor.
With standing desks you're all standing. Moving around for someone to use your computer is fast, easy and rarely ever involves any effort. Stepping to the side to let someone access your computer is easy. This ease of access is more likely to lead to more people using your computer. It's great!
Aside from being on my feet all day this standing desk thing is great. I feel better, and I think my legs are happier for it. Aside from the usual health benefits, the standing desk is great for your work environment and task sharing. As an engineer it's great for someone to come by, show me where i broke something and fix it, or at the very least point to a line of errant code that I need to fix.
Here's another vote for you getting a standing desk. I'm glad I did.
