the best laid plans...

you know what's awesome? Going through all the trouble of bringing spin-class clothes to work for a 12:15 class that you want to try, leaving work an hour beforehand to be sure to get there on time (I wasn't sure how long the drive would be that time of day), and then hanging out at Barnes & Noble for 30 minutes before walking over to the gym only to wait another 15 minutes before discovering that THE INSTRUCTOR COULDN'T BE BOTHERED TO SHOW UP. Grr.

I suppose at that point I could have just walked into the spin room and made up my own workout for 30 minutes, but I always feel kind of weird getting on the class bikes without an instructor there. So I did abs instead, then changed and grabbed lunch before heading back to work. It better not be like this on Thursday, I can tell you, or I am so done with that 24-hour fitness location. (I'm sure they're shaking in their boots...)

Song o' the day: Change (link removed)

Did you complain to anyone about them having a scheduled class that you left work for and then without any notice, the instructor just not coming? They're a business too.

yeah, the other girl who showed up for the class and I went to the desk to see what was going on, and they looked it up. Apparently, the regular instructor is on vacation, or that's a floater class, and no one could really tell us who was supposed to be teaching it yesterday. She paged the Group X director (who never responded), and asked around, but no one knew what was going on or would take responsibility. I didn't have time to press the point or wait for the outcome, so I just left. She did seem genuinely apologetic, though.
