    How would you feel after this conversation? I'm baffled!

    *kitten* her. That's how I would feel. Jealousy is evil but so am I :wink:

    Office space in the working world is a touchy subject. I am going through it right now because my upper boss is trying to move me and my immediate supervisor into our own offices. Yea, its tricky and she is probably just peeved at the amount of space you get and she doesn't so she uses the exercise thing to bring it up subtly. That would be my guess.

    She sounds like a classic hater. I posted this yesterday on another thread, Katt Williams on haters:

    My favorite part of that whole routine: Haters don't hate you, they hate good *kitten*. They want good *kitten* but they know they can't have good *kitten*.

    I swear, if he wasn't cussing so much, he'd be preaching.

    How do they know what you are doing in there anyway? Are you getting dressed in workout clothes and then walking through the office in them? Not that I think there would be anything wrong with that, but maybe others don't like it. Or could you be making too much noise?

    I think she's jealous that you're so committed to your workout. My coworker and I are both exercising and watching our food to lose weight. We have the same size office space (mine only seems smaller because I do more of the paperwork side, and I'm taller than she is) but she has this app on her phone that you do push ups to, she started it and seeing her do it, encouraged me to start so we take time during the day to do our push ups. We found some ab/backside exercises that can be done in the office and we are planning to bring that into our daily work workout.

    Yes....that's definitely jealousy rearing it's UGLY head!! Not everyone is motivated enough to exercise on their lunch break and instead of being inspired by you they're resentful they're so lazy!!!!!

    Katt Williams is effin hilarious! I can't watch this right now cuz I'm at work... LOL oh the irony... but I do know this bit! and "haters gonna hate..." (he also helped me feel better about my stretch marks! haha (if you haven't seen that one, go google it)... now that being said...

    Who is she to say whether or not other people would feel comfortable in your office. Is she jumping to conclusions? How do you get along with the other people you work with? I know my bosses office is a good size and I wouldn't feel uncomfortable in there at all. But we have a good relationship.

    She needs to mind her own business, and if she is too busy paying attention to what you are doing, then what is she doing all day?

    Just a thought,

    People who work in offices have nothing better to do then to go around and see what everyone else is doing so they can tattle on them. When I worked in an office there were several old biddy busy bodies who made it their job to keep track of how long I was away from my desk. One even went so far as to write down when I left for linch and came back. Mind you when I worked there I got in well before she did and picked up the slack for everyone on my team.

    Unless your direct boss has a problem with it ignore her. There will always be people like her no matter where you work. Sorry. :(

    Man, you are so right on the "office worker" disease. This same lady walks by my office door, man, I don't know how many times a day. I call them "drive bys" to see if I'm here, etc. Some people just SUCK!


    Which is really funny because the more time they spend walking by your door to check on you, the less time they are spending doing THEIR job lol

    The sad thing is......I don't care if I'm in an office or a cubicle to work! But......since I have an office - I thought why not use it? Office politics just suck that's all there is to it!

    She's just jelly. Tell her to put a cork in it and mind her own buisness. Like you said, she isn't YOUR boss.

    You know......that really is a good question. I don't think I'm making noise. I mean, maybe my feet hit too hard during burpees or when I'm doing jumping jacks - but it doesn't seem like it. While I was working out today - there was an emergency code that was called. The speaker is right outside my door and I could barely hear it - so I wouldn't think my workout would be that loud.

    ^^ I "feel" like I have a good relationship with the other girls in my office. My BCW (best co-worker - instead of BFF...lol) is a marathoner - so I KNOW she's okay with it! The others are three older ladies that are, yes, overweight and also got mad when I suggested fruit and yogurt for our office meetings (instead of the regular donuts and muffins). So, really, when I think about it - it probably doesn't matter what I do - they will always dislike my actions/suggestions/etc. Oh well.

    That's awesome!!! Yay for supportive co-workers!

    She's just a mean *****. I can't believe she is so stupid that she would say this and not realize its her own guilt. She's probably ugly too!

    Some people are never happy! I have somehow ended up on someone's **list** for unknown reasons. She talks smack behind my back and is generally unpleasant. She had bariatric surgery, and I think it ticks her off that people praise my running and working out and my results and no one compliments her weight loss. Granted, I didn't have near the amount of weight to lose as she did, but people just don't compliment her. That makes me the new bad guy in the office.

    Shut your door. Do your workouts and ENJOY the rewards of your hard work. If the Veep doesn't mind, the office manager really can't do much about it!

    well, there ya go! I bet these "ladies" have the same problem with your bcw??? something to think about.

    I would have replied "oh I'm sorry, I didn't realize that exercising in an office which was provided to me, and not by choice - to take care of myself, ultimately making me a better employee with fewer sick days and a positive attitude would be a bad thing".
    But I'm a smart *kitten* like that :tongue:

    There's always someone in the crowd to try and rain on your parade !!

    Is this woman overweight? I think she isnt jealous of your office, she IS jealous of YOU. Not your problem, she just made herself look like a total nutcase! When I see people work out, it makes me smile!

    Agreed...

    Your lunch hour = YOUR time, you can do whatever you like on it. Your office, same deal, she's a "negative nancy" and not worth wasting your frustration on. I am a graphic designer and once had a coworker (who was older and had been here longer) constantly say "gee...I sure wish I had time to try new things" whenever I did something "cool" (ie:better than her.) Just insecurity. I only have a half hour lunch, so I work out 3x a day, once in a 15 min burst outside my office, once for 30 mins at lunch, going up and down the stairs and once at 5:00 at the gym. You gotta do what you gotta do FOR YOU. Don't care one whit for the whiners.

    Sounds like a power and control issue. If you have the green light from your boss - no need to stop what you are doing on your time. People......

    Sounds like a case of jealous co-worker on a power trip. She sounds like a passive-aggressive b-word. I would say just ignore her if she doesn't have any direct jurisdiction over your job or your work space.

    Well - you SHOULD be complimented on your success! You actually WORKED FOR IT! I'm sorry - I don't want to offend people that have had bariatric surgery - but to me it's the lazy way out! It does nothing to change your "lifestyle" at all. I have a friend that had the lap band and got down to a size 6. 2 years later she is almost back to her original weight before the procedure. It just won't work if you don't change your surroundings, choices, etc. Good for you though - being on someone's list just SUCKS!!

    Two oft used quotes for the 'office manager' 1) Life is not fair. 2) Sucks to be you.

    Oh, I wish I could say that! I think I'd really be in the dog house though! LOL! It's so true though!
