At last minute, I decided I was going to randomly grant myself a "personal day", meaning I wasn't going to go to work but instead stay home. I wanted to catch up on some house chores, work on some of our current renovations and take my scooter to go get fixed.
An hour later I realized personal days bite.
All my training clothes are at the club as is most of my food and friends. If I stayed home I'd miss out on my weekly weigh-in and wouldn't see many of my favored members. I'd have to notify specific members I had promised to train and tell them I wasn't coming in.
An hour and a half later I showed up at Hulk's. Snickers giggled at the sight of me. He knows me too well to know that even when I try I can't stay away from our club. Every day is always different at Hulk's and if I didn't go to work today, I would have missed all the following "fun" that happened today:
- Walking into the billionth person using the locker room as a change room. People, get with the program -- the locker room is for lockers, the change room is for changing. Am always amazed at how our foreign crew never seems to mistake this yet our Korean crew, whom I have put up Korean signs for, always seems to do this!!!
- Walking into the office door -- it's glass and oddly enough this is a common error experienced by many here.
- The joy of scrapping off dried puke from behind one toilet -- perhaps if we didn't push some members to puking we wouldn't have this problem. Thankfully we've narrowed it down to about one a week.
- Gave what I thought was an impressive and insightful tour of the club to some visitors and all they had to say at the end of it was "Wow, you speak Korean well". My response, "Yes, and I can use chopsticks too".
- Being "surprised" with one big sweaty hug from the Cheonan Teddy Bear.
- Cappuccino time!!!... That says it all;)
- Training with my buddy from UP -- hired him the other day to help with our cleaning.
- One of my hardcore crossfit guys decided to take up boxing today and labelled it "hardest workout ever" -- harder than crossfit!!!
- Yesterday's new member (who is also this week's first puker) returned to redeem himself at boxing and didn't puke!
- Weigh-in -- am down 1kg of body fat... cool.
- Beat my previous record of 16 pull-ups (2 sets -- 7, 9) by doing a total of 17 (2 sets -- 8, 9). Goal is to beat my partner-in-crime (Jung) with doing 18 consecutive pull-ups.
- Being "invited" into the guys' shower room... yes, you read right. They seem to think it's funny to call me, asking them to help them when all they really want is to embarrass the heck out of me when they turn and flash me their tushes.
- Having my G-Boys almost mistake K-Gere as they guy who attacked me -- thank goodness I corrected them and told them it was me father-in-law. They had gathered in the corner in what appeared to be them mapping out some kind of game plan -- plan of attack.
- Doing four ab routines WITH four different people, not just showing them. Bless my Advanced boxercise gals for not having to have me do it with them.
- An excessive amount of high-fives today. Am still working on throwing in a couple of daily "good job champ" slaps to the bum.
