And when you feel antsy, go to the ladies room and do some quick calisthenics. I did that in my last job. Only got "caught" a couple times.
I used to work in the restaurant industry. I would go to the walk-in to "cool off." We got plenty of exercise - in my case I had to get away from people.

Bimini, I understand! Getting away from people. The bathroom is unfortunately a tiny room. I'd hurt myself doing calisthenics. But, I think if I can I'm going to take the train to the office which gives me a decent walk at a good clip.
pray for strength

Tales From Ruby's World caused me to recall this one...
I got the monthly Mag from 'National Lampoon' fo evah. The Crowd that later wrote 'Vacation' and 'Animal House', et al. Da Wife could tell when this Mag had arrived in the Mail because she could hear the howls of my laughter throughout the House.
There was a section called 'True Facts'. These were Newspaper Clippings sent in, and vetted. Man, you'd feel like fn Einstein after reading a page or two of those bits.
One Story I recall many Decades later was about this Armed Robbery Homie in Court on Trial. His Public Defender was doing the best he could with the Case. 'You can't polish a Turd', as a good Pal used to say when attempting to repair some beat-up Guitar given to him to make sound wonderful. Homie The Perp was generally keeping it together in Court. Then, the Prosecutor asked the Convenience Store Clerk on the Stand if he recognized in the Courtroom the Gent who'd stuck a Gun in his Face while demanding he clean out the Cash Register. He pointed to Homie The Perp and said: 'Yes, that's him right there'.
At this point, Homie loses it. He JUMPS up and yells: 'I KNEW I shoulda shot your MuthaFu**in Head off when I had the chance'! Um, .... LONG pause .... 'Uh, if I was the only one in the Store, that is'. Homie then sat down, fuming.
The Jury returned a Verdict of 'Guilty' after ~15 minutes deliberation.
Just finished off my Sushi Rolls for Brunch. Unpacking numerous Boxes unloaded only yesterday. Nature Abhors A Vacuum, and we collected some 'stuff', fo sho. Good times, actually. I got some Fix It Chores to jump on. Secure back on the bottom of an Art Deco 'Hoosier' we got eons ago. Then, fancy Plates and Collectibles can load in. Put the Platform Guest Bed together. I built it in College, and it's sturdy enough to support a Tank. But, hey, it's paid for.
Away to the Dog Park later to let our Goldie play with his Bestie Pal Pooch; a Dog Play Date we set up last night.
I guess LBrain has answered our nagging question: 'How Lowe can you go'?-)
From a Comment in his Post #107, here's one for our Summer Camp Leader Weas...

MM, that's classic. I love reading odd newspaper clippings. I saved one. Mugshot of this crazy looking guy. Really nutty looking. Crossed the US Canadian border in Vermont, into the US. Border patrol notes he had a bloody chainsaw and other sharp objects in his car but let him through. He had murdered his neighbors with the chainsaw. I would have stopped the dude at the border. No one was suspicious?

Tomorrow is "good friday" here. There is a prohibition on the sale of alcohol. It's somewhat akin to a storm warning. The shops will be packed with people stocking up on alcohol in preparation for the drypocalypse!!!

The weekender bus is really moving.
My feeble Saoutchik brain can't remember
100 or so posts
Like Weasel I spoke with my firms owner ( there are only 32 people in it so I speak to him most days) No praise for me - I would be really worried if he started praising me - did get a half hearted apology from him + we are to get green tea at work, down to my ceaseless propaganda I reckon.
Also like W I live in a flat -2nd floor but we call it the 1st floor for some reason with the 1st being called the ground.
Too tired to cook

Hey weekenders!
I don't have any plans this weekend. My baby turns 4 next week & I am a little emotional about it. I know, ridiculous...but she is my only child. Time is flying by too quickly for me. LOL
Will be planning & preparing for a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle birthday party for a 4 year old little girl. My daughter is awesome....not the "conventional" little girl & I am totally encouraging her to be different. :-) Different is awesome!

Happy birthday to your daughter JT. I got a little teary when my daughter turned four too. She's my baby and will be 7. And since I'm fifty, no more for me. Have fun with TMNT.
Behan, it's gray and dreary here too. More rain expected but that's ok. Wash the winter grim away. And April showers bring May flowers, right?
Saoutchik, Just rest. Sounds like you're done in. I had a sandwich for dinner last night. No energy for anything else.
On the train downtown. Will close my eyes

When I say, "cool off" I am being literal.
