Seriously misjudged the length of my skirt today.
Well, not so much the length, as, while standing, skirt falls at appropriate, (perhaps verging on miniskirt) length. But did not consider that walking a considerable distance while shouldering gym bag might cause short skirt to become... even shorter. As a result, scandalized half the commuter population of the greater Boston area this morning on the way to work. Whatever. Was probably the most excitement they'll have in their commute.
Adding insult to the injury of feeling horrendously large-and-in-charge lately, was zoning on treadmill when realized was being spoken to by Meat-Head Personal Trainer. Wanted to know if yours truly was new to the gym (Am NOT new to the gym. Have been going there for three years now!!), and would I be interested in a personal training session? Bah! Could not decide if was a sales line, or if it's that this gal must be looking pretty disgusting to be sneak-attacked by personal trainers! Asshole. Was so v. offended.
Will be hiring Asshole Meat-Head Personal Trainer in October.
Posted by This Fish at September 17, 2003 10:38 AMI've seen ads for personal trainers on craigslist recently; maybe they're cheaper (if that's an issue for you). But then again, if they don't belong to the gym you belong to, it doesn't seem like it would be worth it.

Posted by: ęddię at September 17, 2003 12:16 PMI've got the heritage and good legs for a kilt, but that fashion still isn't accepted in the business world. What a travesty!
Mr. Meathead sounds like a sales pitcher to me. Very few times someone tries to "help" someone else these days does it not involve at least $19.95 plus $5.95 shipping and handling.

very real third possibility: asshole
trainer was picking up on you.
Flattered?
