Someone caught me doing a cartwheel at work

[TreatOrPeek]

I generally cover Saturday, no clients here.

Just myself doing some admin that needs catching up on. One or two other members of staff.

I was in the open plan seating area tidying some leaflets when the overwhelming urge to see if I could still cartwheel came over me

I put my arms up like an Olympic gymnast after landing a difficult tumble move. Dear Christ, what have I done. It turns out a colleague was there and he was very

The man I'm speaking about is very dry and dull, I know he won't bring it up to anyone else. But dear me, what have I done?

Even in front of him, I can't believe someone's seen me make such a tit of myself.

I can't go back into work now, can I? I can't believe I've been so bloody stupid.

Though I would share to lighten the load. If I tell DH he'll think I'm a weirdo

Own it OP.

If I could do a cartwheel, it would be my main mode of transportation

Sorry. I laughed. Then I was impressed that you can do one

Respect

If it's mentioned, tell them that you are so happy to be working there that you had to turn cartwheels of joy.

Amazing! Very impressive OP.

Dry dude is just jealous

It's all about joy! You're not the only person ever to do this....

Don't worry about dull work colleague, celebrate that a) you can do a cartwheel and b) you didn't pull a muscle or break your leg doing it

Totally own it, OP. Like this guy:

Dry dude is just jealous grin

Or he dropped into the splits as soon as you left the room

I did this in a wide open corridor a few years ago....My skirt split right the way up the back! I was celebrating finishing a shitty project.

I had to walk like a crab across the main office, and hope no noticed...of course they bloody well did

This is brilliant

Haha, all of us remember the cartwheeling verger!

(I admit to having succumbed to a similar urge in glorious big spaces on more than one occasion...)

So you nailed it?

I think I'd have to twirl my pencil next time I saw him to see if he'd say anything.

I had this with a handstand.

I tried to style it out by telling my boss it was yoga to help me focus and concentrate better on my work.

I get the urge a lot and always used to at work! Especially on a late shift loo run in the lift hall! Cleaners definitely thought I was an odd one but you do you and style it out with confidence and a smile 😅

Just drop In ear shot of him you've took up gymnastics.

Take it that bit further and wear leotards and leg warmers to work.

You go girl! Love the idea of the Olympic handing after as well, it might have brightened his life up —scurries off to see if i can still do a handstand—

If I had been in the office and seen you cartwheel I would have thought "That woman's just done a cartwheel. She. Totally. Rocks."

And then everytime I saw you after that I would have thought "I remember that cartwheel. She. Totally. Rocks."

Own it. Don't assume people's reactions are negative.

As long as you had your drawers on then no harm done. 😂

Could have been worse, you could have done the Carlton dance

I’m more about why your own husband would think you’re a weirdo!?

That`s brilliant.
Good for you girl.
As for who saw you who cares if he tells anyone deny.

Well done, I'd love to be able to do a cartwheel. Dont worry about Mr Dull.
