Gymnauseum, part 3

So, last night was a party (back at the Bath House Theatre). A pot luck thingy to have the gang say good bye to the staff (Chris, Kat, Laura and Mac) . Fortunately, Chris and Laura were there. Kat was working at her new job. Although it seemed as if everyone was waiting for Mac... phone messages said "he's on his way" . But it was nice to see a lot of folks. There was of course some bitching, and it will go on , I'm sure, human nature being what it is.

Gina and I were gone for the first 10 days of the takeover so had nothing to add to the mix.. I did get the scoop that on one of the first days, one of the staff let the jacuzzi overflow, into the men's locker room. nice. There is a lot of equipment moved around. Apparently a 'well run gym' has all the weights piled up in a corner, and 17 ( I exaggerate) benches right next to each other. Might be a bit dangerous if 2 people were using adjacent benches... clunk .... Well, not so dangerous if it was me, as I use those colorful little single digit weights. But Rock, or Gina... Look out neighbor, I'm working my lats !!

For such a lousy transition phase one would think that customer service would be top priority with these guys. And the easiest thing to do is to say hello and introduce oneself to members as they come thru the door. Not happening. We made the effort yesterday. And it was painful/awkward. And as for the qualified staff behind the counter, one guy was sketching cartoons (Gina likes him cuz his artwork is good) and the gal today... reading a book. Maybe she's trying to keep up with members as this is a pretty literate group that works out there. Or maybe she's avoiding talking to anyone cuz she knows we're all pissed off.

Anyway, I managed to get a decent workout in.. Actually lifted some weights and did some core work. November was disastrous for my routine and Hawaii didn't help.
