Besides trying too hard and rupturing something, are there any dangers with practicing clearing while sitting at my desk?

Just don't try to hard! And remember its always best to clear before you get in the water and continually as you decend.
 
How do you get the water in your mask at your desk? Doesn't it make a huge mess with your paperwork?

He asked about equalizing, not mask clearing ;) But I wonder what his coworkers think when he's pinching his nose and has his left arm in the air, pushing a invisible button.

Woops! Yes I see it now! (Mark you - a mask could hide the red face - don't know if it would really work with 'work pressure' though) But he did say clearing - not equalizing :33:
 
Yeah, my bad on the terminology. I always heard it and referred to is as clearing your ears.

I get the occasional look from my co-workers. I just smile at them and continue.
