Ultimate [uhl tuh mit] adjective:

1. last; furthest or farthest; ending a process or series

2. maximum; decisive; conclusive

Ultimate is a great word and when combined with an activity like "Frisbee," it takes it from tossing a disc around with friends to an all out, up-and-down-the-field, running-and-jumping, arms-up-in-the-air sport.  Let's face it, Ultimate Frisbee has to be the sport with the most epic-sounding name ever concocted.  So as we embark on another long work week, the promise of our Friday Ultimate Frisbee league seeming to loom so far in the distance, I think maybe we should all take a cue from whoever first coined that term and, to help those of you working in an office job all week, Ultimate things up around the workplace.  I present to you the following suggestions on how to Ultimate the workplace:

Ultimate Copying

Have some important paperwork to copy?  Why just stand around while the duplicates print?  Why not try and improve your speed a little bit and see if you can run a quick lap around the floor before the copies are done?  Put the paper on the glass, press start, and BOOK IT!  Maybe then you can build up enough speed to end up like these players from Discy Business (Purple) and Catch 22 (Royal)

Ultimate Coffee Making

You know that one coworker that drives you crazy?  Always sucking up to the boss, leaving passive aggressive notes in the fridge?  Well, next time he tries to get to the coffee machine, how about using it as an opportunity to work on those blocking skills like this member of Princess Layout (Red)?  De-NIED!

Ultimate Meeting-ing

Time to have a strategy meeting with your team to discuss implementing new work flows?  Why have it in a boring old conference room when you can go outside and talk it out in a huddle.  Bonus points?  Forget work flows and just talk offensive strategy instead.

I don't know about you, but in my opinion, this sounds like a sure fire way to spice things up around the office and to get yourself ready for some Friday Ultimate Frisbee.
