I say hello to her every time I see her because, well, she is attractive and possibly closer to my age than most. She has a giant yellow walkman, and that&#8217;s somehow attractive. She is also married and looks like she needs a cookie. That&#8217;s code for meaning I think she&#8217;s so skinny I was worried that she might be sick. Anyway, she was in for the first time in months and working out with Dana the trainer. I said hello to her, told her I was glad to see her back, and made fun of Dana&#8217;s picture on the trainer&#8217;s wall. Later, after she was gone, I told Dana I was happy she was in and looking like she had put on a little weight.<\/p>\n<p>Well, one of the managers took umbrage at my comments and later told me, &#8220;Y-y-you have the s-s-sensitivity of a s-s-stone.&#8221; I think he overthought his reprimand and it made his delivery a little sloppy, since he never stuttered before. He also said something about her eating disorder, which is private information I had no idea about. Dana, however, thought I was perfectly cordial to the woman and any snarky comments were nothing out of the ordinary for me.<\/p>\n<p>Other than that, work still sucks. It sucks a bit less since I have something to do, but it still sucks. We even had an honest-to-goodness firedrill which showed me how little the clowns in this campus prepare. We went out the emergency exit and then we were stuck behind a locked gate. They opened the gate after a while so we weren&#8217;t trapped. A really obese guy with a bullhorn came out to tell us when and how to get back in, but the bullhorn didn&#8217;t have any batteries in it. If we really do have an emergency, they&#8217;ll have to fire me because I plan on getting out and keeping on going until I&#8217;m miles away. I&#8217;m not staying at any sort of &#8220;assembly point.&#8221; Screw that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There&#8217;s this woman at the gym I haven&#8217;t seen for a while.
