cupcake_goth | Something I meant to post the other week!

A Thing That Happened In My Office Recently:

Some background: We're releasing a product update on December 10. The feature I work on is the big part of it. My developers and project manager are getting kinda punchy.

Some more background: all of my developers are fitness junkies. They're incredibly sweet guys, but they're also Very Serious Workout guys. So late yesterday afternoon ...

A developer, looking up from his computer: "Oh no! We missed the daily planking challenge!"

:: assorted mournful noises from the other developers::

Another developer: "Dude! Let's just do it here! C'mon, planking!"

:: All of them troop into my desk pod row, which is the emptiest one ::

The youngest and most bro-ish of the lot (still a very sweet boy): "Jillian! Planking"!"

Me: "Hahahahaha no."

The four developers and my project manager then drop to the floor, proceed to plank for three and a half minutes, then do side planks for another two minutes a side.

Youngest dev: "Dude, what's the point of having a six-pack if your obliques are shit?"

Then they go do wall sits for three minutes, chatting with me about UI strings the entire time.

They are adorable, and I am confused by them.

I have to wonder what their cardio jam is. Mine is, of course, FM Bike.

"'Dude, what's the point of having a six-pack if your obliques are shit?'"

What, indeed, is the point. Haha!!

This scene reminded me of something from "Letterkenny," only with tech bros instead of hockey bros.
