Sighting, Vicariously
So, my boss goes to one of those gyms where teh elite get their sweat on. Today at lunch the other ladies were grilling her on who goes there, and then demanding, "How does s/he look?" To which boss would reply in varying degrees of "short/amazonish/tiny/great". Working out is gross and smelly. As one would expect, everyone mainly keeps to himself while working out.
Except one guy.
This guy here.
So, at around 7am, on June 6th, my boss is working out. She's the only person on the huge floor. Our friend enters. Takes a look around the huge, unpeopled floor, and heads directly to the machine next to my boss.
My boss has her headphones on and does not look at him. However, she does wonders what the hell he's on. "Who is this weirdo?" she thinks. Doesn't he notice the huge, empty floor. Why is he elliptically cross-training right next to her?
He gives her a chipper smile and asks why she's up so early. She looks up and recognizes him. She removes her headphones and says "Excuse me?" He repeats himself. She tells him she has to take her daughter to camp later on, and what about him?
He says he has the Tony Awards that day and had to come before rehearsal, and also, he likes to go in early b/c people talk to him so much that he can't get a good workout.
My boss points out that he started talking to her. He laughs. She's got him there.
That's right--he started a conversation that included the complaint "people always talk to meee!" *cough*dork*cough*omgIlovehimsomuch*squee* He started a conversation in which he said people distract him with their talking. This reminds me of the time my 5 year old cousin interrupted a conversation I was having with my mother to tell us about a "stupid, rude boy" in her class who was always interrupting her when she talked. LOL We said, "Gosh, Flo, interrupting people sure is rude, isn't it?" And she heartily agreed and then continued chattering away. LOL
Anyway, back to my boss. They talk a few seconds more, and then she puts her music on. He puts his on too, and they go on working out in silence.
This concludes Am's Vicarious Sighting Update.
p.s. She declares he is "adorable", but that's not really news.
