Call Me Maybe?


This will be much short post than yesterday’s since work was an absolute drainer. We met Mike Boyle, more about that and what follows tomorrow, talked with tons of other trainers, talked through the lifts and actually did the lifts. After that one other guy and I stayed later to talk to the trainers, observe, and get a better feel for the layout of the facility. But afterwards, I talked to my brother and a very good friend of mine, and it was amazing how mentally restored I felt after such an intense day. Talking with people about shop is great, but to do that all the time is a sure fire way to burn out or become a tiresomely boring person; neither sound very appealing to me. So even though everyone eventually becomes busy pursuing their dreams or slogging along the rat race, the grind can seem much less of a grind when you talk and share with someone whom you care about and enjoy talking with. Especially in this service oriented industry, it is important not to forget that you are a person too, and nothing is more personal than a good conversation.
