I was riding the elevator up to my office this morning and was reading on the TV in there, you can't have 2 seconds without someone trying to advertise to you, about what Gwyneth had to say on her new movie.

She told press, “A lot of people were really confused when they heard I was doing Iron Man. They thought I was doing an Ironman triathlon.”

I started cracking up and had to share.

Yeah, THAT would be crazy. Who would be stupid enough to do such a thing?

That's pretty awesome that you have TV in your elevator. Do you have like recliners and stuff too?

Sounds like when my Dad described the creative offices at MTV: espresso and smoothie machines, the floor was made of tire tread, and everybody wore flip-flops. I wouldn't mind those working conditions ;-)

Man, if they had nachos I would relocate my cubicle in there. :)

They show headlines, the weather, and commercials. I think it's kind of sad the TV is in there and speaks volumes about our societies but it wasn't my choice. They did manage to turn the smoking lounge into a gym though. It's really convinent to have a treadmill that close whenever I need it.

Nice. I bet the company saved a ton on health insurance when they turned the smoking room into a gym.

Can you still smoke on the treadmill?

It's a 36 floor building and we have from 29 - 36 so it was a decision by the building management not my company. It's pretty rare that I run into anyone that I work with in there, which is probably a good thing, so I'm not sure how much it's helping my company.

I haven't seen anyone smoking on the treadmill but I'll bet there are people out there who do. Sadly, my boss smokes so when I need to talk to him about stuff that means I'm out on a smoke break. If only he had a nacho habit instead....

I usually throw on some roller skates, hop on the treadmill at a busy gym, and puff away on some Marlboro reds. I can do that for hours. When people ask me how much longer I'm going to be, I tell them "it could be awhile; I'm training for the Ironman".
