On Abdominal Strength and Peeing my Pants

One of The Project Managers gives me this huge, 100 page project update every week.  I make copies and then put it into his project binder.  I know.  So exciting.

Anyway, he's got this giant three-hole punch that I love to use - you can punch all 100 pieces of paper at one time.  Excitement.  Again.  Can you tell I'm easily amused?

There's just one problem.

The limited abdominal strength I had before I got pregnant is now gone.

You wouldn't think it, but punching that many papers at once requires some core strength.

Now, instead of just bearing down with my arms, I have to push and jump at the same time.  It looks more than ridiculous. 

The Project Manager walked into the office today while I was doing it.  But did he help me?  No, he just laughed and laughed until I was finished and threw my hands up in triumph.

Then on the way out of his office, I ran into The Other Project Manager.  He's one of those men - the nicest men in the world who never seem to get angry regardless of the circumstances.  He's almost 60.  He weighs 150 pounds soaking wet.  He's a little mousy.  He has the best stories about his 31-year-old mentally retarded son who's trying to get the Filipino physical therapy aide at his PT office to marry him. He reminds me a little of my dad. He's my very favorite.

He stopped me to tell me he was going to get a new ring tone for his phone.

I said, "Really, what's it going to be?"

He replied, "Well, I was going to get Womanizer."

Womanizer?  As in Britney Spears?

I started to giggle.

Then he said, "Yeah, I had it before, but I switched phones and I don't know how to get it back."

Ok.  Wait.  Let me get this straight.  You're telling me you've previously had the Britney Spears Womanizer ring tone and now you want it again?

It was then that I started laughing so hard, I had to cross my legs to keep from peeing my pants.
