I was doing a bit of cleanup with the photos of my recent honeymoon in Maui.  Apparently they got Jesus to come over there.

Spike was 25 pounds around this time last year and the vet made it sound like I was giving him Crack. Spike is now down to 18 pounds this year but he’s still isn’t at his goal wait of 15.  Time to find a new vet and avoid being yelled at by the vet.

It seems like all I have been doing lately is working out and working. Since I don’t talk about my current job here, I’ll speak more about more Annoying things at the gym. I thought I couldn’t fill up another post about this subject since my last one but I was wrong. It happens.

The first thing is with all the guys that must bring in these huge bags and carry them to each piece of equipment and bench. It’s like the workout warrior wubby or something. I’ve tried to uncover what the hell these guys are carrying around in these bags. It’s not towels because these assholes manage to cover each piece of equipment in sweat before they and their bag move on to the next thing. I just can’t figure it out and I don’t plan out carrying one of these workout purses around anytime soon.

Another thing I’m discovering is that some fuckers have to fill up their gallon jugs at the one small water fountain at the gym. I understand the need to hydrate but damn, having a line of 7-8 people wait while you fill up your milk jug of water is silly.

The gym I go to seems to be getting very territorial. Everyone in some way or form seems to guard equipment of benches. Somebody will lay out a big smelly and sweaty towel on a chair, while other guys will put their multiple water jugs or big gym bags on the equipment. I’m sure there is a very scientific reason to spend an hour at a squat rack to do 3 sets of squats but I missed that day in Scientific gym facts. I’m tempted to get into the gym territorial stuff and kick it up a notch. I could start pissing on the equipment to save it while I go take a nap.

The last thing is chalk. Who the hell needs chalk to do a squat or shrug? Some days the amount of chalk in the gym makes it look like somebody just got done doing Olympic gymnastics stuff. Then no matter how you try and clean the equipment that has the chalk, you still end up getting chalk all over you. The worst part is, it’s not even your damn chalk.

Now of course after this post, I don’t feel like working out at all.

I drive to work a lot more now than I did with my previous job. The old job had me spending hours on the Metra every week. The thing that amazes me during my morning drives was the amount of people that would ride a bicycle in the snow. In fact it seemed like more people would ride a bike when it snowed. It’s not very fun to be half awake and worry about these nuts on the street riding bikes in the snow and ice in the morning. So now I’m predicting that they will put the bikes away and start riding the bus since the snow is melting.

The weather here makes it feel like I live in Minnesota or something. Now we have to deal with a road salt shortage. You think somebody would have figured out we needed more salt a little sooner.  To make up for the warning, I got a voicemail from an automated message that sounded worse than a speak and spell and the voice told me to be careful because Aurora is running out of salt and it’s snowing. Thanks for the warning crappy automated message.
