Ravings of a Textual Deviant

MPOW has a new wellness program for its employees. I’m on board, setting the example for my team and trying to encourage participation. This week, they handed us pedometers, divided us into teams, and started a competition. Each person gets points for a certain amount of exercise, including one point for every 5000 steps.

One of my teammates shared this with us today:

So, I’m awake in the middle of the night last night and I hear a *skritch, click, click, jiggle, click, click, click, click.* My cat was doing some exercise for me with my pedometer still on my belt from yesterday. I don’t know how many miles she did, but she might have lapped me.

That’s our secret weapon right there, I tell you. Four of the five of us have cats, and I have two. All we have to do is put the pedometers on the cats every night, and this thing is in the bag.
