Celebrating Nation Fun at Work Day 2026

Date: 2026-01-30 AO: bomber Q: Vector , Firefox PAX: Chunks, Pep, CubCadet, DintyMoore, Tim the Toolman, Crawlspace FNGs: None COUNT: 8 YHC and his esteemed co-Q Firefox could have taken the easy route with a theme about ice or being stuck at home with no lights (I know, too soon.), but at F3 Nashville’s premier AO, we don’t get better by taking the easy way . . . So, today we recognize National Fun at Work Day (aside: how do these things become “official?” Can we just create a “National Bomber is the Best F3 Nashville AO Celebration” Day? )
CONDITIONS: Old and slippery (just ask YHC who stumbled, bonked a knee and definitely pulled my right ass cheek – not that the PAX knew anything about it, as I keep my medical issues private :face_with_rolling_eyes:. Rumor is Tim the Toolman pulled a “Grayson Allen” and tripped YHC.)
WARMUP: Carefully amble to Rec Center parking lot, armed with 3 bags of rice and 3 kettle bells. SSH x 20, LBAC x 15, Seal claps x 15, Overhead presses x 15, RLBAC x 15, WMH and Good Mornings OYO.
Because of a lot of PAX sass, a 10 burpee penalty was levied.
PLAYLIST: Ain’t It Fun – Paramore Working for the Weekend – Loverboy Everybody Have Fun Tonight – Wang Chung Work It – Missy Elliott Girls Just Want to Have Fun – Cyndi Lauper Work – Rihanna f. Drake Fun, Fun, Fun – Beach Boys We Can Work It Out – Beatles You Make Loving Fun – Fleetwood Mac Working in a Coalmine – Devo We Are Young – Fun.
THE THANG: WORK: Filing the T-P-S Reports 50 Tricep DIPs 100 Push Ups (modified from pull ups as playground was an ice rink) 200 Squats Run 3 circles around cul-de-sac between exercises
FUN (at work): Plank and kettle bell pull throughs Hollow Body Holds with Rice Bags Tight circle with weight passes
MOLESKINE: Great to see everyone and several comments about appreciating getting out of the various retreats/refuges and breaking the monotony.
COT: – Praises for hambone’s new addition (and thankful the scary day ended beautifully) – we’ve already named him BaconBit – Praises for the NES, safety, road workers helping get Nashville back on line. A lot of stress out there with homes cold, people displaced, and sad events like home fires, injuries. Now is when we can lead – step up and help in any way you can (and ask for help if you need it). – Prayers for my MIL and my M who is dealing with moving her mom our way (along with her 100 lb German Shepard) – leanpax is ongoing (even if many of us cracked like trees covered by ice — OK, ok too soon). Stay strong, HIM – only 2 weeks left! Try to make habits that you can carry forward.
MISCELLANY: – Great to see Crawlspace join the group after running 17 miles or something – Coffee at McD’s due to power outages and late starts at the usual haunts. CubCadet rejoiced at the prices and kindly paid $11 to get the whole PAX coffee (8/8 attended) – Do not (I repeat NOT) play Work It when standing next to Chunks – his booty shaking was, er, something. – The :bomb: AOQ handover is coming soon (as Pep noted, it’s the longest handover of an AO ever – going on 7 months it seems?). Who will be our new leader? It’s a mystery that can only be solved if you attend :bomb:
Grateful for all of you – SYITG Vec
