I love Chico… I really do. But sometimes this place absolutely baffles me. Today was one of those days. I have a job that is extremely flexible. I can work pretty much any time, any where. So, when there’s days that I am lucky enough to work from home, I don’t usually shower until I go to the gym. Today, I was meeting my friend Julie for lunch. In my planning of my day, I figured I would go to the gym around 10:15 in time to work out, shower, and be on time for lunch. I walked across the street to the gym (a very nice perk for my living situation) and was amazed how many people were there. It’s 10:15 A.M. on a THURSDAY morning! For the love of god, don’t they work. I mean not everyone can have a job like mine…. people have to work. Nope. The place was packed.
Now I’ll give you the run of the mill senior citizens that occupy the gym during the day. I think since Bob retired from the Price Is Right, they figured there is something better to do with that hour… AARP must be losing it’s pull in viewership. In addition, I have to add in the college students with their flexible schedules. Still, there were plenty of middle aged people there–they all can’t be professors!
Well I got my workout done and all is well in the world. A relative easy day tomorrow and then off to Lake Amador to rake pine needles. I hate yard work. When I own a house, I’m putting astroturf down so I don’t have to mow the lawn. But this is for a good cause, so I guess I’ll suck it up.
