My Body Didn’t Get a Work-Out but My Patience Did

to my surprise, i was compelled to go back to the ?ber yuppie health club this morning by myself. i figured it?d be much less intimidating or crowded. because i was just added on to Brian?s membership last Friday, i still don?t have my little card they give you, but i had a sheet with our confirmation on it.

i gave that to the girl who was much friendlier than the two that were working yesterday. she even loaned me her lock so i could put my stuff in a locker. she then told me to go to the little seating area until the guy who would help me fill out my information and give me a tour of the place came to get me. it looked like he had just started giving a tour to someone else, so i was like, ok, whatever.

dude, i waited half a fucking hour and nobody came. so i called Brian because i needed someone to tell me what to do. (i need that sometimes.) he suggested that i go to the front desk, tell them how long i?d been waiting, and ask if i could just go work out and do the paperwork later. but at that point, i just wanted to get the hell out of there. i felt like i completely wasted my time, though Brian reminded me that they were the ones who wasted my time. true enough. i mean, i could have been done doing like a 20-minute cardio something by that time.

Brian said i had to make a decision, which of course i had trouble doing. but i did. i chose to tell them i?d been waiting too long and that i had to leave because i had other stuff to do, which was true. the girl?s like, ?oh, there must have been a miscommunication,? and i?m just like, ?it?s ok, i?ll come back Wednesday.? (maybe.)

i left.

i was going to be in that neighborhood, anyway, to pick up Angelo?s food from our old vet, so it wasn?t a complete waste. just really annoying.
