Miss Kubelik, one doesn't get to be a second administrative assistant around here unless he's a pretty good judge of character, and as far as I'm concerned you're tops. I mean, decency-wise and otherwise-wise.

get in shape girl

my goal is to be one of those healthy people that just naturally craves fruit instead of a 4lb bag of m&m's (see my sister). i swim a few times a week, but i'm not a swimmer. i look like a dying land animal in the water, and flailing is a good workout, but i'm searching for other options.

i chose kickboxing. never tried it, but i felt it will make me a certifiable badass. i researched all the gyms and classes in town and found a small and reasonably priced club. i called and got some info and tonight i headed to my first class.

found the address rather easily. the name on the door was a bit different than what i remembered, but the address matched, so i went in. got a tour and a schedule of classes (the class started at 7, not 8) and when i asked about the women's friday and saturday classes, i was told that they were actually on tuesdays and thursdays. the monthly price they quoted was about fifty bucks more than what i was told on the phone, and the school doesn't even offer kickboxing. i wondered then if i had talked to the 'uncle billy' of the establishment who gave me all the wrong information. but i signed up for a private jiu jitsu lesson (free) for this thursday and went on my way.

arriving home, i looked up the school again, and, well, i went to the wrong place. i had googled so many schools and clubs that apparently i just willy-nilly picked one out of the blue, googled the directions, and showed up.

this actually happens quite a bit. i do something completely wrong, but stubbornly question the validity and intelligence of others.

wonder if i should still go to my free jiu jitsu lesson...
