So they say
"You know what they say. It's all over with when the wolves come out of the walls."
Lifetime has begun a five week long process of renovating the Lifestyle gym they bought where I work out. The first two weeks were a minor annoyance where they roped off small areas of the facility and had workers overhead painting.
This week they closed the men's locker rooms for construction, which means I get changed in a bathroom somewhere before I work out and carry my gym bag with me instead of keeping it in a locker. The last two weeks the whole facility is closed. This is a first world problem, and really amounts to a tiny annoyance that is meaningless when put in the big picture. The fact that I am being inconvenienced is something that happens to us and we shouldn't complain about inconveniences, because hey we're not starving parents with five children who have aids that we're trying to raise in a mud pit selling oranges for 2 cents a piece at the market.
What does bother me is that these renovations are unneeded and are purely cosmetic. The facility looked and operated fine the way it was. In fact it is one of the nicer gyms I've attended. They are wasting materials and money on renovating it. This bothers me more. If they have resources so abundantly available that they can throw them away on unneeded renovations, why not use them to construct something more meaningful for those individuals stuck in huts? Or if you only feel like you can use them if it will generate a larger revenue for your business, just don't use them, because in this country we waste enough resources as is.
And speaking of wasting resources, IMDB is showing a trailer for the new "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" movie. It's budget is an estimated $70,000,000.
Which leads me back to the quote: "it's all over with".
I feel this was a nice segue from the question of the day a couple weeks ago.
