I-Jo Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 So one of the guys from head quarters today showed up at our office- younger guy- and we joked with him that if came into our cubicle- he had to push ups (since my cubicle buddy and I do push ups all the time)... so all 4 of us banged out a bunch of push ups. The older guy did 40- but didn't really fight for any- just did until he was tired... respectable (esp after coming off vacation) he could have done a few more- but meh. The visitor- who is in his 20's did 74- we were all dually impressed. My cubicle buddy did 50- and really struggled squeezing out the last couple. My turn. I blasted through the first 30... and then 50... then hit 60 and said self. you better. So I got to 70. BAM. I'm excited for myself. Showed them boys how it was done!!! new goal- do 100 in one shot. woot woot!!! of course now my arms are kind of pissed at me- but whatever- my pride is worth more than a little arm pump. he he he he Link to comment

Irish Oisin Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 I LOVE the idea of some office somewhere, a bunch of people doing press ups, haha!! Go BIG, or go home. Link to comment

I-Jo Posted April 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 BAW HA HA HA HAHAH- valid. most favorite scene from that movie EVAR. I actually have a picture of my coworker feet up on the desk doing push ups. HE HE HE I sneak ninja photo-ed him because it was so funny.occasionally someone walks by and we are talking about doing random work out things- it's highly amusing. Or I'm down on the floor in skirt and heels doing push ups- whatever- I give no fuck. I refuse to be a fat ass like the rest of the office peoples. Link to comment
Irish Oisin Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 I sneak into one of the room in the office and do press ups, I hate my job and squeezing 10 press ups into each hour takes the edge off the day Go BIG, or go home. Link to comment
I-Jo Posted April 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 you sneak in and do them? Really? I do them at my cubicle desk. I have no shame. Besides- it's gotten 3 other people doing push ups in the office- positive peer pressure!!! I do walking lunges to the water cooler but I reserve doing squats for the bathroom- I do draw the line and squatting in public in a dress/skirt or other such things! Link to comment
Irish Oisin Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 hahahaha! Amazing! Are you the office character? I prefer doing them in the privacy of my little press up room, I'm leaving the job in a month and a half so I don't want to go showing off in front of the two people I work with. And I get to lift heavy things a lot of the time as well in there, but still, I can't wait to be free of that job!! Go BIG, or go home. Link to comment
I-Jo Posted April 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 sometimes.... it's weird here- I just started in May. I'm past my probationary period (woot woot) but there I work for a place with pension stuff- which means people stick around- and I"m engineering staff- not adminstrative staff- I mostly keep to myself- outside the cubicle- in here it's one thing- outside it's another. I have issues with the female admin staff- they have been the only ones here for a while- and I think they get their claws all sharped because I'm new and young and technically I rate above them. It's annoying.Shrug- but in my cubicle- game on biatches!!! I am a class clown everywhere else though for sure. I do burpees at dance class too when I can't fit them in at my regular work out- it's amusing. you have a new job lined up?? quitting and starting something new is always exciting. I was so pumped when I got this one. I'd say it's a dream job- but not quiet but it's pretty damn close. I definitely don't complain- well most of the time Link to comment
Irish Oisin Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 I'm quitting my job here in Ireland and moving to Canada! A LOT of people of my generation have emigrated. Ireland's economy is in the toilet and is only going to get worse, and I don't want to stick around and watch as the government here makes things worse for everyone. I don't have anything lined up yet but I have really good experience so it shouldn't be difficult getting a job once I arrive in Vancouver. I don't particularly want to continue my current career, and I'd like a change of pace, so I'm open to almost anything once I get there. As long as I can exercise and be happy and make friends, then it's going to be fine! Go BIG, or go home. Link to comment
I-Jo Posted April 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 THAT is totally cool. 5 or 6 years ago I packed up my life and put it in a truck and trailer and moved from CA to NJ with nothing but 2000$ and my horse (well my best friend too but I didn't pack her up) best decision ever- scary- but a great adventure! That's VERY awesome of you! Link to comment
Irish Oisin Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 It's quite terrifying in one sense, but I can't wait to do it. I've gotten everything I can out of where I am in Ireland and I fancy the adventure of going to Vancouver. Just me and a few bags and I'll see what happens!! If I stay here I'll go crazy! Go BIG, or go home. Link to comment
cn3wton Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Haha sorry I'm still laughing at the whole "squats in the bathroom thing". I can only imagine someone walking in and seeing that haha "All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us." - J.R.R Tolkien "Progress, not perfection."

I-Jo Posted April 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 yeah it's kind of funny- we have this weird entrance area so it's not like I'm fully IN the bathroom. It's carpeted and there is a table and chair there- but yep- I do them. My ass is fabulous- i don't want to get the dreaded "Secretary spread"!!!!! Link to comment
Irish Oisin Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Squats in the toilets. You, madame, are a hero! Go BIG, or go home. Link to comment
I-Jo Posted April 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Someone has to be around here!!! When my other boss at my other work tells people I'm his favorite and I'm amazing- I like to tell them I actually put on a cape and spandex and thigh high boots and fight crime at night- so yeah- it's kind of amazing. add's to list- does squats in the loo.

Irish Oisin Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 I'll have to sneak in some extra exercises into my daily routine, I love just pinging out 10 press ups, so something else would work...we DO have a spacious toilet. Go BIG, or go home. Link to comment
cn3wton Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Serious question, squats work your ass muscles?

cn3wton Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Huh, look at that I actually learned something today!

I-Jo Posted April 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Everyone likes a girl who can squat- it makes such a difference. Congrats on your bootay!!! It doesn't have to be big to be perky and round!!! Link to comment
cn3wton Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 This has to be one of the most interesting threads on here. From pushups in a cubicle, to squats in a bathroom, to booty talk. Haha.

Irish Oisin Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 I've heard of women having an ass that never quits, but I've never heard of tits that don't quit. I'm a boob man and I've never hward of boobs not quitting in the same way asses don't quit. I guess tits are quitters. Go BIG, or go home. Link to comment
