I know I’m old because I’m not embarrassed by anything anymore and that is not necessarily a good thing. Case in point - yesterday. We have a very nice on-site gym at work, and I use it daily around lunch time. Now, 99.5% of the time, I’m the only one in there, which is great. Well, yesterday, I forgot to pack my tennis in my gym bag, but because I’m typically in there alone, I figured I’d work out in my shorts, tank top, long dress socks and dress shoes. Like real dress shoes - the ones that go “clickety-click” when I walk. (I had a presentation yesterday morning).
Anyway, I’m on the elliptical and what do you think happens in the gym that no one else ever comes in? Yep - Two of my direct reports come in to work out. The giggles were loud. One of them walked up to me while I’m on the elliptical and asked, “um, Paul, is everything ok?”
I was like “awesome, why?”
Her: “do you always dress like Oliver Twist to work out?
I had to laugh but I felt no shame at all. :covri:
