Death by Treadmil



I run, I live, I run....

This morning, due to the weather I had to run on a treadmill, in the gym. This is not my normal routine as I get very bored, very quick due to the lack of things to look at and divert my attention. But being the dedicated runner, aka Flo, that I am, I went to the gym to continue in the training.

I was in full speed and became thirsty, now I cannot multitask when running and therefore needed to slow down. I did so, sipped my water and attempted to begin back on my running pace. Somehow I missed a step and fell to my knee! My life flashed before my eyes, I thought about who was in the room and could save me once I was sucked under the treadmill and whipped around and around while the belt feverishly continued on the runners pace. I heard someone gasp with horror as I took the plunge and was pushed back by the high speed belt! All of a sudden I was on my side wondering if anyone saw me. I hoped that a hole would swallow me up and whisk me away, or better yet, a time machine would transport me back 13 seconds I could do it all over again. I would have never stopped for water, I would have just kept going like Flo did!

People saw. I have treadmill knee burn. Running is indeed a dangerous sport. But like Flo I kept on going. True Story.

Maybe its me...

But here is what I don't get, we all have to work, and none of us actually want to. I get that.

What I don't get is that since we all have to face this dooming reality, why wouldn't we want to DO everything in our power to work as much as possible now so we can do as little as possible later?! I mean lets get serious people. Your winning smile isn't paying the rent.

So lets review, if it snows 1 inch, you have to come to work. If it rains, you have to come to work. If it is sunny, you have to come to work. Who calls out because of weather. We do not live in a part of the country that has tornados or earthquakes (thank goodness) and we should be able to handle the change in weather and all that it brings!

I suppose that maybe I might have a false sense of reality and have more of a work ethic than most and this is why I get so annoyed. Plus I am the only who has to then figure out how to resolve the issues that will arise once you are not here.

So do me a favor, do not apply if you cannot handle the weather!

dont tell me

I have been doing what I do for a long time. And I know I do not know everything, but I know a lot. This is what gets me through the day without murdering people and wanting to strangle them!

Needless to say, when someone fresh off the block trys to run their mouth and tell me I do not know what I am talking about, it pisses me off.

I do not care how you run your business, I follow the polices and play by most of the rules, which in turn keeps me:

1. Ahead of the game
2. Out of trouble
3. Better than you

Why? Because you all drop like flies and I am still here. I have figured out the perfect balance to make everyone happy, some of the time and that is A-Okay with me!

So do me a favor, don't steal clients because you can not get them yourself. Its tacky. And that gets you no where in life.

Just so you know.....

once a complainer - always a complainer

Dear Person of Interest;

If you choose to complain about everything, then no one will take you seriously. Its hot outside, hence our air conditioning being on. If you are cold in A/C bring a sweater. We cannot make everyone happy regarding the air output within our building and I am comfortable knowing that the general consensus is perfectly comfortable. I will not sweat out everyone else for just you.

So seriously, do me and more importantly yourself, a favor and bring a long sleeved top. This will eliminate your current issue.

I anticipate having another issue from you shortly. As you are just that kinda person. It must be exhausting!

Regards;
The Air Con Police!
