I thought of something!

So, I thought of something to blog about that doesn't involve Alex!

Today I went to the Y and while I was scoping the place out to see where I might want to settle in for my work out (that I was already looking forward to cutting short since I was late getting there and had to pick A up before nap time began---hers, not mine) and there was a man on the less crowded side and he was changing a channel on one of the TV's. There was only one other person within viewing distance of these TVs so I thought, "Yes! There will be a free one that I can change to watch something NON-ESPN. So, I asked the man who had just changed one of the TVs and it turns out he says, that he was going to watch ALL four. YES! You read that correctly. He had tuned all four of them to his liking and was quite annoyed that I had requested to change the channel on ONE. You'd have thought I requested to ride tandem on the single person bike he was gearing up to work out on. It took him several minutes to decide which one he would allow me to change and I kid you not, when I tried to give him a hard time in the most joking sort of ways, he was not having it, never even cracked a smile. Nice. So, my fellow friends, rule of the day: SHARE! It's the right thing to do, especially when you have three extras of something you only really need one of, and especially if those somethings happen to be tvs all with different variations of ESPN that all cover the same thing anyway, right?!

[If only my Y would incorporate treadmills that are equiped with their own personal TV such as the ones in the picture. But remember, people, this is Batesville, IN we are talking about. I'm grateful they have treadmills from this century :) [they're not that bad, i just kid]]

And on a working out note, don't you just hate it when someone always works into conversations the fact that they just worked out, or are going to work out, or missed their daily workout, etc...you get the point. I find it rather obnoxious and I wanted to point out that I was not trying to do that here. It was just part of the story. There is a girl at work that ALWAYS works in to convos her work out for the day or the previous day, etc. You know the type of person I'm talking about, heck maybe you are that kind of person...It could be a conversation about a patient that coded and the events leading up to it and she would add in, "So, this morning I worked out before I came to work and when I got here my patient had coded" [as if the working out part had anything to do with her patient or the patient coding] So, second moral of this post: Don't be that person! :)

This is what I envision telling my work friend most of the time when she incorporates these gym excursions into nearly all her stories :)
