A quick about face

There are four TVs at the gym and since the gym is run by males the choices of programming in the morning is usually 2 sports channels, a news channel and, because over half of the people working out are women, some sort of token talk show or drama or reality show. This is usually the one that I choose. I watched 40 minutes of a show this morning only to have a male trainer come out and change it to sportsnet! I was so angry! I jumped off the treadmill ready with a few choice words for the muscle head when I realized that I would have to admit out loud that I was upset about missing the last 10 minutes of Felicity.

Busted

Change rooms make me uncomfortable. My philosophy has always been don't make eye contact, never draw attention to yourself while getting undressed or dressed and never make conversation with someone who is naked or in the process of getting naked. That didn't work out for me last night. This is what I overheard while trying to get my jeans on my still damp legs while holding my towel.

I'm going up to the mall to get a cell phone tomorrow. What kind of a plan should I get?

Well since you are thinking about getting rid of your land line then you should look for a plan that won't charge you a lot for daytime minutes.

Ok (pause) Thank you for being my friend while I didn't have a cell phone.

I totally laughed out loud and then looked over at them. I'm so glad they were laughing too.
