So I flipped my gym the bird...

So I used to be a group exercise instructor.  I used to be a lot of things, but this one was my favorite.  Yelling at people...wearing sparkle shoes...Inappropriate Touch Tuesdays...all good.  I still get to yell at people but I'll be damned if I can get them to comply with my demands.  Kinda frowned upon to jump on your 7 year old's back while he does pushups..."What??  Eating dinner doesn't seem so hard now, does it?!?"  Yeah...not so much ;-)

Lalalalalaaaaaa!  Cue evil corporate takeover music...My lovely gym with all it's cleanliness & love & warm fuzzies was bought out.  I think, "I've worked at super sucky places before - I've got this.  No big deal."  Turns out, BIG fucking deal.  They ditched our lovey day care staff so my kids were getting beat the fuck up.  They started monkeying around with the class schedule & if you couldn't make class?  So what!  Cancel it cause nobody went to the website to see if maybe you might need a sub.  They quit maintaing the clubs so small, insignificant things...like air conditioning...went out and stayed out for WEEKS...like 4 weeks and counting.  And it's like a bajillion goddamned degrees outside.  By the way.  Oh and they stopped cleaning.  Just stopped.  One of my friends put a water bottle wrapper on a hook by the indoor pool 4 weeks ago - hanging out in front of God & everybody...and it was still there yesterday.  Shit is nasty.

Anyway...I quit.  Child safety and the fact that they clearly don't give a fuck.  OUT.  What sucks is that means pretty much no more teaching for me, since I don't want to go back to the Y and, at last check, Gold's is still harboring a grudge. 

Now, I get to keep my shit tight at home...and alone!  Hell, "alone" if I'm lucky.  MommmaMommaMooooooom!  Oh my GOD.  Go away...don't you have toys to break...or - even better - go watch that stupid cartoon with that orange.  Yeah...gonna be imitating THAT all    afternoon    forever   .  Hate that stupid ass cartoon.  SHIT TIGHT AT HOME.  Walking to and from school...in the bajillion degrees...random yoga on youtube so that I can attempt to undo some of the things that I've done to myself (which are now looking pretty damned dumb in hindsight) over the past 7'ish years.  Touching my toes again is pretty high on my list, as is standing upright & not hobbling around like I'm about to kick off.  I'm not a zen individual, so you can imagine how well yoga goes...

I'm calm - can't you fucking see that?!?  ;-)


Longer, leaner, faster, stronger!
