I work in an office. An office with corridors. They aren't very long. And they are really mostly just the aisles between cubicle formations. And for some reason unbeknownst to me, I find myself having the strongest desire to do cartwheels down the corridors while no one is looking.
It is a terrible idea for the following reasons:
a.) I am usually wearing a dress or skirt.
b.) That is not proper work behavior.
c.) I'm sure the minute I did it...someone would pop out of their cubicle and catch me in the act.
d.) I am really not capable of doing a cartwheel...I can only do a sort of bum-air-roll-thing that is meant to be a cartwheel.
So I resist the urge and don't do it. And then the next time I am alone in a corridor I think about doing a cartwheel. Sometimes I compromise and do a little funny dance or try to kick my heels together...which is much easier to recover from if you are caught in the act. But the fact remains that I still want to do a cartwheel.
So this is my goal for the summer...to become an awesome and fast cartwheelist so that one day, just one day and just one time, I can do a cartwheel in the corridor, not get caught, and finally fulfill my secret dream of doing a covert cartwheel in the corridors of my office.

i used to do this when i worked at a party store! sometimes when i would be closing up, i couldn't resist doing cartwheels down the aisles.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure all offices with cubicles know they are setting themselves up for this just by having cubicles! Also, I can't cartwheel to save my life. We should both learn this summer! Yay!
