i absolutely love having the gym at work.  forgetting my time at PINEAPPLE NATION, during which i was too tired to utilize a gym anyway, 3 out of my 4 jobs have all included gym membership.  i know.  i’ve been completely spoiled.  at this point, if the gym hadn’t been part of the package here – i might have seriously considered walking away.  from my dream job.  for a gym.  and its not like i’m some sort of workout nut (i mean, have you seen my tush?!).  but its just SO convenient.  and as the creature of habit that i am – it helps with keeping up a routine.

and this gym is really the cream of the crop!  individual tvs on all the machines (you’d think at this point that would be a given, but before PINEAPPLE NATION i spent a brief period at 24 hour fitness – NOT up to par), i can plug my iphone into any machine and my playlist pops up (i know!), there are locks on all the lockers – i don’t have to pay extra or bring my own, i can use as many towels as i like – for free, there is brand name shampoo, conditioner, and SHAVING CREAM!, there are real q-tips (you can’t be ramming off-brand shit in your ears…just ask my mom she learned that the hard way).  have i mentioned here that cleaning my ears is quite possibly my favorite part of the day?  they have awesome hair dryers and when i get on a machine, i can type in a code and it remembers me (okay, i haven’t actually tried that out yet, but i know it can be done!).  the gym is awesome.  and although it requires that i leave my house at 5:45 in the morning – it is quickly becoming my favorite part of the day.

but…and its a big one (literally)…why must the towels be oh so small??  WTF is up with the small towels??  if they were just three inches longer and wider i would feel so much more secure – while drying my hair, while walking from the  locker to the shower, while sitting on a bench (that’s nasty).  i just don’t understand.  on top of everything else, it makes me feel bad about myself.  i know i have a big (shelf like) butt…why must the towel be so short that it barely (and i mean BARELY) covers it?!  WTF?!  seriously people.  seriously.
