Little Sampling

Not much has really happened since my last post so I thought I would do a little recap and combine some little notes into one.

Don't mess with NYers and their cake!

I work with some cold hearted people (myself included unfortunately). Friday we scheduled a surprise party for one of the girls who is getting married. Just something simple, cake and a card. Well she called in sick, yeah sick on a Friday and she came back today with a sunburn, but I digress. Anyway do you think we saved the cake for Monday, hell no. We all gathered around the table and cut that sucker up and then sent her a text showing the before and after of the cake. Cold I tell you, but not as cold as when we ate Lady Footlockers birthday cake. Now that might not sound bad, but oh it is. So Lady Foot Locker had a monthly thing were they bought a cake for all the birthdays for each month. Well it just happened to be the day to celebrate birthdays when our company did its lay offs. Well quite a bit of the Lady folks got let go, and trust me I feel for them I've been there, so there was an entire sheet cake with no one to eat. Being the greedy real estate department we are, you know we cut up that cake and ate it. Pretty sad huh, but goes to show you don't mess with NYers and their cake!

Daylight Savings!

Now I remember the one downfall of Daylight savings....the sun is low in the morning. Now if some of y'all remember I have had quite a bit of close calls getting hit by cars (and yes one finally got me last year on my birthday but we ain't gettin into all that). Well now that day light savings has hit, the sun of coarse sits low in the morning making it hard for drivers to see the traffic light. At least that is the benefit of the doubt I am giving. Well I have already had one close call but last week I almost got hit by a school bus. That would of been a hell of a lot more serious than my Chinese man in his SUV, but then again that would of been a government check coming my way. Hum..there is an upside.

No Pain No Gain!

I finally sucked it up and joined a gym. I've been using the one in my building but needed a little more than a treadmill and a bo-flex. Anyway lets just say I am paying twice as much as I ever have, but hey it forces me to really use my membership. So the other day I am on the treadmill and there is a woman beside me. Now usually I am in my own zone and could care less about other folks, but I couldn't help it. First I must say this gym is fancy so they provide the towels and a towel service. So here I am minding my own business watching Friends on my little TV trying to ignore my calf cramps and this lady takes her towel (the one the gym provides) blows her nose in it and then drapes it over the treadmill. Are you freaking kidding me. How gross can you get. Its bad enough the machines are full of sweat from people who don't clean them after their work out but now I need to worry about snot on top of it. No kind of home trainin I swear!

And that is just a little tid bit for this month.
