Rookies

As I was dressing this morning at the gym I encountered a couple of rookies. It was about 6:45 as I cut my workout a few minutes shorter than I like as I have a busy day today.

I was getting dressed and this rookie came in, hemming and hawing about how early it is, plops his bag down, on and on and on with this major production. "Oh it's so early, it's so hard to get up... and some people get here even earlier than this!" I thought to myself, "yes, junior some of us were inside at 4:55 (because the new door guy is still letting us in early) working out while you were sawing z's in bed. I found him annoying! This kid is not long for the morning workout routine as he said something like, "I am not sure how much longer I can do this...." It was the second day I had seen him there. Ok, well that rookie is about done!

Then another rookie came in complaining about the lockers. Ok, the lockers do suck, always have (since they installed them about 3-4 years ago), and always will but... young man, this is like your first day ever working out here in the morning! I thought to myself, "you have to earn the right to complain... as I have." He then noticed the numbering oddity, in between locker 169 and locker 173 is locker 129. He made a joke about it. Look kid, that was funny 3 years ago! Why don't you go home, go back to sleep, and we will just pretend like you were never here!?

With that, I gotz work to go.

Peace
