It’s pretty hard to have low energy in the Kathy offices. But sometimes we need an afternoon pick-me-up. Luckily, Kathy’s usually here to do her Cher impression. Or we’ll turn on Shahs of Sunset and stare at Reza’s bushy mustache for an hour. Sometimes, if we’re lucky, Reza’s mustache is next to MJ, who’s wearing a bikini that’s fifteen sizes too small for her.
 
But sometimes Kathy’s not here. And sometimes MJ’s wearing a totally sensible one-piece swimsuit. And we get drowsy.
 
One day, one of our producers, Karen, suggested we get up and do some light stretching. Light stretching turned into moderate stretching. Moderate stretching turned into hopping up and down. I decided we could use some inspirational music to hop to, so I played Gonna Fly Now (A.K.A. the theme from Rocky).
 
Hopping up and down turned into a full-fledged dance circle, and every day since then we’ve had an afternoon dance break, whether we needed it or not.
 
I’m usually in charge of the music. I’ve learned that there’s an art to song selection, and that you can’t make everyone happy. For instance, if I play Lady Gaga instead of Madonna, John (our Talent Segment Producer) will throw a tape dispenser at my head.
 
Kevin (our Post Production Manager) likes to stop by to shake his head in disgust over the fact we’re not dancing to Megadeth.
