Yesterday I was out at a customer's location and I had to remove a computer, do some work to it, then put it back up in the rack. These systems aren't small, or light, and they slide in and out of what's called a rack. A rack is like a tall cabinet and computers are mounted inside of it. They aren't the kind of computers you would have at your desk, but kind of like if you took your desk computer and turned it on it's side. The spot I was working in yesterday had no desk or anything so I took the system out of the rack and put it on the floor. Once I had it there I squatted next to it and did the work I needed to do, then I would stand up, and lift the system back into place. I must have done this at least 10 times working on various issues and problems with that system.
My body, unfortunately, took all the squatting as exercise and Oh My God does my ass hurt today. Not just my rear, but the muscles in the back of my thighs as well. Any time I try and sit down today it's slightly painful but I manage to plop (which my Nan will tell you you should never do), but getting up is actually hard. Every muscle aches and I make funny old lady sounds when I try and stand. It's very comical and will give me a "so THAT'S why I don't exercise" excuse for at least another week or so.

VERY clever title! And not only will Nan tell you not to plop on furniture...your Aunt Jo-Ann will smack you if she catches you.
