The usual way of saying that you're sitting would be "tha mi nam shuidhe" = "I am in my (state of) sitting"

Not quite sure what you're trying to say there...

A Mhairc, mòran taing airson nan ceartachaidhean uile!
Ceartachadh no dhà bhuamsa:

"gun oifis" would mean "without an office".
Not necessarily -
gun is ambiguous. It's more clear when it's followed by a lenitable consonant:
gun chrìoch - without end
gun crìoch - to the border. Of course, if you're using formal speech, you will say
chun na crìche.

Chan eil sin fìor idir! Tha deagh Ghàidhlig agad agus chan eil mearachd no dhà ach nàdarra.
This is not true at all! You speak Gaelic well and a few mistakes are very natural to make.

Feasgar math a Mhairc agus a h-uile duine agus Tha i fliuch agus sgothach anns a Lunnainn an-diugh ach chan eil i ro fuar. Tha mi a' fuireach ag an taigh an-diugh.
Good afternoon Marc and everybody. It's wet and cloudy in London today but not too cold, I am staying at home today.

London doesn't come with an article, so it's "ann an Lunainn".
Tha i cho fuar ris a' phuinnsean an-seo.
It's brass monkeys here.

Cha chuala mi an abairt "brass monkeys" riamh!
Bha e fuar an-seo an-diùgh, an latha as fhuaire sa gheamhradh seo.
Ach ged a tha e fuar, tha an geamhradh air a bhith an ìre mhath tiorram thuige seo.
I've never heard the phrase "brass monkeys".
It was cold here today, the coldest day this winter.
But although it is cold, the winter has been rather dry so far.

Choimhead mi suas "brass monkeys" a-raoir. Hah!

I looked up "brass monkeys" last night. Hah!
I learn something new everyday!

That means literally that you raised your eyes / head.
If you mean that you looked something up in a reference resource, then you need

Tapadh leat, a Mhairc! Feumaidh mi aideachadh gur e "guess" a bha "coimhead suas".
Agus mòran taing airson a' cheangail. Tha mi a' faicinn "rannsachadh facal san fhaclair".
Thanks. Marc. I have to admit that "coimhead suas" was a guess.
And thanks for the link. I see "look up a word in the dictionary".
Co-dhiù...
Tha e fuar a-rithist an-diugh, ach chan eil cho fuar 's a bha e an-dè. Tha e soillear, gun sgòth sam bith san speur.
Anyhow...
It is cold again today, but not as cold as yesterday. It is clear, without a cloud in the sky.
