I quit my job
I was lifting weights and this trainer tried to tell me I was lifting incorrectly and I told her I knew what I was doing. She told me I would crack my sternum. I said "listen lady this is 225 pounds, I have full control over it" and she just kept going "it only takes 1 time" and I walked away. The guy I was lifting with Sam gave me a look like "who is she to tell you how to lift?" and I said "She's just jealous cause I have a bigger chest than she does" and she heard it and said "Thats real funny, I heard that" and I said "Whats real funny is you telling me how to lift weights" I mean its so stupid, I've been complimented before on my perfect benching form.
Anyway she couldn't handle it, called me in the next day for a meeting and started berating me. I was just smiling and laughing at the absurdity of it all, and she just flipped out even more. I told her, don't worry about it "I quit" even though she isn't my boss. So she continued to flip out "well if you quit then get out of the gym" and so I said fine and walked over to get my key that was laying on the ground and she again flipped out "Where are you going? I told you to get out!" I just laughed again.
I said "is Cheri or Kellen here? i want to say goodbye" and she said "shelly is here, shes the other owner and the person to talk to" I said "i dont need to talk to anyone, I just wanted to say goodbye to the people I know here" and i saw ted, one of the owners I know. They pulled me into the office and asked me if I made the comment, I said "yea I made that factually correct statement" and they said "we heard her side of the story" I said "im sure you heard the full story, there is only 1 version" and they started lecturing me and I was just laughing at how stupid this had gotten. Once they realized I was actually leaving they started to try to "work things out" because finding someone on zero days notice to make the early shift isn't that easy I'm sure.
This morning one of the managers called me cause she needs the key and she was definitely on my side so that made me feel good. What she didn't get and niether do I is... I opened the gym everyday on time, no problems whatsoever, and some trainer -- who NEVER ONCE had to interact with me on a working level -- ruins it. The root of all this absurdity is some 30 something nothing, who immediately before instructing me was showing a woman how to lift a 5 pound weight over her shoulder, telling me how to lift heavy weight. It has nothing to do with her being a woman, its more that I have very few skills and even less knowledge, but the 1 thing I do know is how to bench press.
Lame. Oh well I got to sleep in this moring, they can suck it.
