The Awkward Phase

You know what's amusing?......watching someone at the gym trying to use a machine they've never used before.

There's a lot of newbies at the gym these days. I suppose it's all those New Year's Resolutions. It's really been a pain in the ass because of how crowded it is. But at least I've been treated to some fairly comical happenings.

I can't ridicule these people too much. I've been in the same boat and it's a pretty embarassing boat to be in. But as I watched a middle-aged man fiddle with one particular machine for more than 10 minutes...I couldn't help but chuckle.

the fastest route to work is to cut through the local college, but this time of year is always a pain due to the congestion caused by students resolved to go to every class on time.
around mid february the students don't care anymore and i can drive to work in peace.
