Thursday Exercise

Ah, what a day. It was the epitome of stressful bull-shit work mornings. I'm the one person in this department with the patience of Job, and I get a lot of the shit jobs with frustrating customers because of it. The last few days were full of it. Hell, I'd say I spent 8-9 hours total with 3 different customers Tuesday and Wednesday. Today, though, I snapped. My patience was gone by 11AM. I got off the call the snapped me, and saw the next person calling through was the 1 person in the whole company that I wouldn't be able to deal with. I tried to be as pleasant as possible, but it was no use. She pushed all the buttons, and she pushed them hard. At the end of the call, I just hung up on her. (yeah, I know... Right?!?) I was soooo looking forward to getting down to spinning class and work all of that bull-shit off.

Spinning was pretty great today. There were only 5 of us in class today. And, despite my early concerns with getting the "front and center" bike, I've sorta adopted it as my own. With the addition of the new fan on the front wall it is actually pretty pleasant. Plus, with the loud ass girls in the back on of the class who are always talking to each other over the volume of the music, It allows me to hear Karen better, and get the music a bit louder. Today we focused on the faster sections of the same workout from Monday. There were plently of hills today, and they are definetly my favorite parts, but I pushed pretty well in the fast sections too. I was a sweat factory today too. I couldn't believe the density of my sweat droplets on the floor around the bike, and on the cross bars. At one point Karen even said, "I'm glad I'm not the only one sweating" while looking at me. I took it as a compliment, and aknowledgement of my effort. It was a good day andI worked harder than I thought I would be able to. 5 minutes in, I just wasn't feeling confident.
It was the same routine, but it was a different score today. The one that included Bad Romance by Lady Poopoop. It came out today, I guess when Karen saw me diverting my eyes as she asked how anyone couldn't just love this song and laugh along, It came out that I wasn't a fan of lady Crapcrap. I was ready to defend myself with what would have sounded like total elitist snobery about how I prefer music, where people actually play instruments. I'm glad no one ever asked for my oppinion. :) I think I'm the only one there that doesn't like that song. The loud ass girls in the back, who were obviously not working hard enough, took the opportunity to sing along just despite me. Even at the end of the class, one of them tabbed back through her playlist and started up the song again while we were stretching. Bitch.
