Gyms

Okay, so I bought a gym membershipin February! How great is that. Everyone rolled their eyes when I got this as though I wasn't going to use it. But I thought for sure that having the money go out each month would encourage me to make use of my membership.

Day one...go in to work out and the workout schedule the facility trainer made for me is missing...oh well...goof around for 30 minutes and leave.

Day two (two weeks later)...have the schedule, lighted the weights and reps cause there is no trainer to know if I'm cheating.

Day three (Mid-March)...go to an abs class at the gym. It's my only free wednesday. I won't be able to go back again.

Day four(end of April)...Actually wake up in the morning and run on the treadmill, do the weight machines and crunches! yeah! Take a shower and arrive to work on time.

Day Five (End of May)...facility manager calls me at work to talk about an event he wants to work with the city on (I work for the city) and takes the opportunity to put me on a guilt trip about my lack of attendence. I go in! Yeah me!

Day Six...I'm looking toward June. Not bad for $30 a month.

Oscars

Let's be honest, who really cares about what prizes the movie stars give each other? I watch the movies I want to watch. End of story. Their opinion on their own work doesn't mean a thing to me. I'll start caring about what awards they give themselves when they start going out of their way to care about what awards my business associates give to each other.

And it's not like they need awards to feel like their work is validated. Their fat checks ought to do the trick. If you don't feel validated after you're given 10 million dollars for 4 months of work, you've got bigger issues than a frame on the wall will solve.
