And to think I didn't like him
A couple months ago, went into the locker room after my workout, only to realize I didn't have my key. Knew instantly that I'd never put it in my pocket before closing the lock and heading upstairs to do my cardio. Crap!! Worse? I know this was a brand new lock and hubby has an extra key, but my phone is in my locker with the key. Talk about feeling lame!
So, I go out to the desk and explain the situation. There were two people up there: Debbie, the Ops Manager, who is always extremely busy, and this guy I've seen once or twice, but never dealt with. He just stands there looking at me like I'm the biggest idiot in the city. She's really nice about it all and says that they can cut the lock if I need to. He perks up at that and starts to grab the equipment. No, no, no, don't cut the lock, I just need to call my hubby. Oh, he says as she walks away. He hands me the phone and says to call him. Cool, thanks. Except, I try three times and it won't go through. I look up with a frustrated look. He sighs. I explain that it I keep getting an error message and I think it's because hubby still has a California phone number so that it's a local call for his mom. Well, it turns out that the gym doesn't have long distance service. Great, now what?? He's perfectly willing, almost excited, to cut the lock for me. Debbie finally wanders back by and asks how thing are going. I explain, she says "hang on," goes into one of the offices, and hands me her cell phone when she comes back. "It has free long distance," she says with a smile as she goes back into the office. Sweet! Called the hubby, he found the key, said he'd ride by in a minute. Cool, problem solved. Now all I need to do is hand Debbie's phone over to the guy, since she's still in the office with the door closed. New problem: he's totally ignoring me. And I mean totally. I even stepped into his line of sight to get his attention, he just shifted focus. What a jerk. So now I just ignore him, and fight the urge to frown at him, whenever I see him, which really isn't too often.
Fast forward to today. I walk in the door at the gym, he's standing there along with Chris, the fitness manager. I say Hi and go to swipe my card. Huh, looks like the bar code reader is broken still. So I ask if I need to write my number down again. Jerk Boy says "here, I got it" and comes over to enter the number into the computer. He enters it, then asks if I realize my account is $63 overdue. Huh, what?? No way is my account late. He says it's right there on the screen, pointing to it. I lean in and look for where it says... wait, my name isn't Lloyd. Chris barks a laugh. Jerk Boy just looks at me like he doesn't understand. I laughed. He entered it again, incorrectly again, and says "see, there, oh, wait, lemme try again." Now I'm starting to enjoy this. Finally he gets the number entered right and "there's my name and oh, look at that horrible picture!" He looks and says "Wow, you've lot a lot of weight!" I beamed a smile at him. "Yep, twenty five pounds so far!" He said you can really tell. Ok, so maybe I was a little harsh a couple months back. :) lol
Today was good. Watered the yards this morning, had a nice lunch, then hit the gym. The workout was good, if not long. Just did 45 minutes on the regular stationary bike since my knees were kinda sore. Kept the rpm's up at 100 for all but the last five minutes, no matter how much I wanted to back off to the low nineties. Was afraid I'd wear myself out too fast, or push my heart rate too high, if I stayed at that high level work. Managed fine, actually, and never went outside my range. Didn't do anything else today sine I had a decent workout yesterday - 30 minutes cross-country walk at 3.4 mph and then 100 rounds on the Ab Solo with the seven pound ball, followed by three sets/25 of tossing the five pounder from side to side while holing my feet up and twisting from hip to hip.
Was IM'ing with jynx_you this afternoon. She told me her partner Karen said "Hi." I simply replied "HI!" Got a "Yay" in response. Made me giggle. Not used to getting that reaction. It was cute. :)
Ok, it's getting late and I need to run. Sorry if this feels incomplete or something.
