For those ladies who haven't tried it yet, Xpose Fitness is awesome and here's why Yesterday was a pretty stressful day at work and I could tell very early that it was going to be a stressful day. So, I signed up for the 5 o'clock pole class so that after work I could have a little stress relief. I left work as soon as I possibly could, booked my ass to my car, ran my errands, ran to the house, changed, and got to the front desk at Xpose just as it turned 5 o'clock. I then find out that an instructor's stuck in traffic, my instructor has been moved to the floor/chair class and my class is cancelled. So I leave and the whole drive home and a little bit at home I realize "That sucks. She knew the weather was going to be bad, so why didn't she leave early?" So I call and request that I be able to take the same pole class this morning at 10:30 for the same discount that they offer on Fridays. "Management will have to get back to you." Fine, sign me up, and I'll figure it out when I get there.
Fast forward to today, I check my voicemail on the way to class "Hi, this is the Manager of Xpose. We're sorry we had to cancel the class, we can't control the weather. But we see you've signed up for the 10:30 pole class tomorrow. When you come in, check in at the front desk and the class is on me." And I think to myself, this is how every company should run itself. Take care of loyal customers when the company has to do something unplanned and to the customer's inconvenience. I actually was not expecting my request to be honored, so when they came back with something better, I was floored. I honestly didn't know that there were such good people out there anymore. After dealing with crazy kids and parents this week, it's good to know that someone out there is a reasonable human being.
Anyway, Xpose is awesome and all my lady friends should go if they haven't already. (End shameless plug for my gym.
Laughable moment for today: a parent replied to an e-mail I sent about her son. Now, I already knew that this woman was not afraid to show her religious beliefs, as she ended every phone message with "Have a blessed day." Fine. Whatever. However, this e-mail started with, and I quote: "Praise the Lord Ms. Burkholder" I even correctly quoted her punctuation. Did she just call me her Lord and Savior? (Cliff and I have been having fun with this all morning: "And the Lord put on her holy vestments of a mini skirt and 6" lucite heels and the Lord shall pole dance." "PRAISE THE LORD!!" Being sacrilegious sure is fun!
Anyhow, Little Miss Sunshine was hilarious, Cliff and I had a nice dinner and nice shopping last night. My in-laws are coming to visit/go out to dinner this afternoon, so I have to clean the house now.
