I just got back from day 2 at the gym. Day 1 was a mixed bag. I had a decent enough work out, however later in the day I wasn't feeling up to par. It was probably a combination of things as I had some set backs in a business deal I have been working on as well as the workout.Bottom line is by the latter part of the day, I found my energy level to be quite low.
Today, undaunted, I made my way back to the gym.
After an upper body workout yesterday, today was all legs.
The good news is that I believe I have come to terms with the set backs experienced yesterday and I was able to clear my thoughts enough to be in a right frame of mind to get in a good work out today.
I did want to share a pet peeve of mine with you and go on a tiny bit of a tantrum if you will let me.
This morning I needed to gas up before I went to work. I left the house early and headed up to the gas station at the top of my street. I pulled up to the pumps. Mine was the only car in the lot.I popped open the cover on my gas tank and waited for the attendant to come out . 
I waited and waited some more as the attendant continued to stare at his cell phone.
I beeped and waited some more.
He continued to be pre-occupied by what ever was so important on his hand held device. I beeped once more.
Still no reaction. Finally I drove off. 
Now the next gas station is on the highway and gas was a full 50 cents a gallon more than the one nearer to my house. It did not matter. I needed gas and that was that.
My pet peeve?
If you have a job,do your job! 
And do it with a smile on your face.
If you don't like your job, leave. 
I should not have to be subjected to poor service or to some one with a poor attitude.
I don't give a damn if you are having a bad day, if you are not feeling well, if you have pressures in your life or whatever.
Do your job and do it with a smile.
Many years ago, my brother went to work for a firm as their sales manager.
One morning upon entering the office, the customer service manager said to him"by the way, I am having a bad day so stay clear of me today!".
He went about his morning routine and when he had a moment invited his colleague out to lunch.
After a brief bit of chit chat , he laid out in no uncertain terms that that was the last time he would allow this person to come to work with that attitude. 

Leave it at the door he told her.
Every one has bad days. Every one has days when they are not on top of their game. Every one has "stuff" to deal with. 
Deal with it on your own time!
I won't go back to that gas station for quite some time. There are way too many other places for me to gas up. I deserve to be treated better than I was today. There is no excuse for bad attitudes. 
And I for one will not accept that kind of behavior from anyone.

Tirade over!
