'Ooh If You Saw How I Squat You'd Flinch'

If you’re a coach who programmes for people

And a client said ‘Oooh I am awful at squatting, I actually just put 200kg on my back and then fold like a deckchair, and end up with no knees and a spine that looks like someone has passed a job lot of Mechano blocks through the fucking hadron collider’

You’d be a bit miffed that they’re taking that approach to training

That’s not sensible, is it?

But fuck me, if it isn’t how people speak about the way they work, have their computers etc.

‘Oooh you should see my desktop, there’s files everywhere’ ‘Ooooh you should see how many tabs and windows I have open’ ‘I’m not very tech savvy, I don’t really know how to use half of what my computer does’

Not to sound like Roy Keane if he got a job at PC World, but;

‘Working with computers? That’s your JOB’

I know I do a lot of tech shit, but I’m not a tech guy.

I don’t know anything about computers.

But I know I work a lot - and I use basically one thing to do all of my work.

So I’m buggered if I’m going to spend all my time working on something without having a clue how to use it.

And most things take seconds, save seconds - but compounded over a year can save you days of work time
