"Weighty" Cube Conversations

I’m sitting here going mad. I don’t want to offend my female readers but I must rant. Before I start, I will say that I am in good shape and have exercised since I was a teenager. So, perhaps I don’t understand the “plight”, but even still, I had to write about this.

I sit in a cube and I'm surrounded by women. They are all very nice but talk about food, losing weight, how tight their pants fit, how pudgy they feel, and what diet they are on all day long. As I write this blog entry, there are two women talking about how much weight they lose when they get sick. Yesterday, another group talked about how they were starting Weight Watchers. Last week it was Adkins and the month before it was South Beach. The complain about not losing weight but all I see them do is eat candy all day.

I have a solution that will help you to lose weight, tone muscles, sleep better, lower your cholesterol, give you more energy, prevent osteoporosis, help your posture, allow you to live longer, and give you a better quality of life now and when you are 80. What is this miracle? EXERCISE!!! Just exericise. Stop bringing in the brownies and cookies. Stop eating the candy. Stop. Just stop. Eat right and exercise. It really is that simple. I’ve done it and have helped others do it. It takes time and discipline, but it is very simple. If I hear one more person talk about Atkins and then eat a brownie, I’m going to scream.

Please, I beg you (guys and gals). If you are complaining about your weight, stop eating the junk food. If you are going to eat junk food, stop complaining about your weight. Thank you.
Whew..I’m glad I got that out. Now I need a chocolate covered banana!

I really think that sitting in a cube and working in an office drives a guy crazy, whereas it is exactly what a woman is programmed to do. For eons men have been hunter gatherers and women spent time together in more social environments. Sitting in a cube and chatting all day is just an extension of sitting in a cave a thousand years ago and doing the same thing. Men need activity to be happy. After years of hating office environments, and after making the mistake of getting an undergraduate and master's degree that spells office work forever, I am leaving that scene real soon. I have decided that I would rather drive a rig than sit all day in the henhouse any more. Do yourself a favor and get out of that world. No normal guy will ever be happy sitting in a cube all day. These goddamn cubes are only a product of the last 30 years and you have millions of years worth of man instinct hardwired into you. Get out.
