Climbing the Corporate Ladder

Everyone knows I've been having my Office Space moments more and more often lately, mostly due to my job disappearing and my new job not starting until about a month from now. Among other things, I have decided that not only will I catch up on my reading, but I will also use the internet to talk with old friends and exponentially grow my number of blogs and time spent on Facebook. But most importantly I decided I was going to take advantage of my $22 a month gym membership here at work to get in shape over the next month. Especially since I'll hopefully be pregnant soon and therefore need to desperately stay away from gaining 46 lbs. like last time!

So yesterday I did a crazy elliptical workout with my workout buddy and today we did yoga. I usually try to workout at the end of the day so that I can go home afterwards and not have to shower or change here at work. But after yoga today (which was during lunchtime) I decided you know what, I'm not going to change back into my work clothes, I'm going to sit back in my cubicle dressed in my yoga clothes. That's what I call climbing the corporate ladder! As I walked back to my cubicle and passed by people wearing suits I could feel them staring me down. You have to imagine me with a sweatshirt, sweatpants, and flip flops. But I feel more comfortable and I've been twice as productive this afternoon as I've been the entire first half of the week (this last statement was made in case anyone from work is reading this). I think I'm taking my cues from Mara who's now a college student again. My next step is to kick down the cubicle walls...
