Guess What? you should really buy some training.

I sit here at work thinking. . . .I just don't want to do anything! I don't know if I'm in 3 day weekend mode or I'm just burnt out. So for the 3rd week in a row I've worked a little over 40 hours in 4 days. Not that I'm complaining, because unlike many others these days, I'm fortunate to have a job at all. I'm forutnate to work for a company that made smart decisions and has reaped the benefits of those wise decisions. It's just one of those days. I was fine this morning and then about 3:30 this afternoon I hit a wall. But that's ok because I get out of here in less than 2 hours and then I have 3 whole days off to spend with my favorite girls (Jess and Lauren) Steve and Dylan will probably be there, too. Not much exactly has happened since my last blog. Not that anything really exciting ever happens because I have NO time to make anything interesting happen. The highlight of my week was going to the gym 4 nights in a row. I've gone every single night this week and I'm beginning to feel it, let me tell you. Shortly after joining the gym a few weeks ago I received a phone call telling me new members receive a complimentary personal training session. Well, of course I said ok, sign me up, knowing I wouldn't do another session after the free one. So I went in almost expecting this voice on the phone to be good looking. Well, to my surprise he wasn't just good looking but he was actually pretty darn gorgeous. So we went through the session, him telling me I'm overweight and I have too much body fat. Well, thanks for making me feel beautiful, right? So after the ass kicking session he runs his schpeal. You know it's only $3 a day. You'd just waste that away on coffeee or Diet Dr Pepper anyway. He was almost convincing. But to no avail, he did not succeed. I gave him the whole "I'm buying a house" excuse, sorry dude. I was strong, I stuck to my guns. So now, every time, all 4 nights in a row I've gone this week, he stops me to tell me how wonderful a client I'd be and how I'd benefit from training. I finally looked at him and said "You forget I'm in the Sales Business, it's just not going to work." So now it's a running joke, in the middle of a sentence he'll just say, "guess what, you should really buy some training." So now I understand the gym secret. Probably not a secret to most of you but, why wouldn't they have a very good looking, pretty well built Training Manager? They have to land the sale. Would you buy training sessions from an ugly, skinny white guy? I know I wouldn't. I guess if nothing else, him telling me I need a trainer because I can't get fit enough on my own is enough motivation to make sure I prove him wrong. Bring It On! That's what I say to Mr. Naysayer.
