FINAL Update -- Like Mary J. Blige, I'm Tired Of All This Drama

I just want to go to the gym and get fit. Is that too much to ask?

I don't understand how drama always seems to find me. I don't look for it. I care not for it. I just want to be under the radar. I hate that I get drawn into it by just trying to do the right thing.

I found out that my trainer (ex-trainer) got fired because she sent me SIX TEXT MESSAGES in a row while I was in the movie theatre telling me all about it.

She said she had hoped that I got her message before hand. She said that she hoped that she could continue to work with me and that she was really feeling sick because of her root canal. Then she asked me if I could put in a good word for her with management saying that our sessions were professional and that we got along good.

Once the movie was over (Benjamin Button -- go see it if you haven't already) I gave her a call and told her that I was sorry I didn't receive her message on time.

She told me that she basically got fired and that when she showed up the next day, they told her she had to leave. She asked again for me to put in a good word for her. Because I felt badly about how things unfolded, I said I would and that I would call her and let her know how it went.

Fast-forward to last night circa 7pm.

I went to the gym to talk to a manager as a favour for her since I felt badly for what happened. What pissed me off at first was that they kept me waiting. For a half an hour. Talk about avoidance, since I could see that they didn't look all too busy. Maybe they were hoping I'd just go.

When I finally got in there, a guy I didn't talk to at all about the situation asked what this was all about.

I told him that my intention wasn't to get her fired but to make sure that I wasn't paying for a session I didn't have.

He looked at me blankly and said, "I don't even know what you're talking about."

At this point I would've liked to have used the WTF stamp on him. I gave him this look that was half "are you kidding me?" and half "you're an idiot." So I started talking again, this time slowly for emphasis.

Turns out he knew my name and my new trainer and asked how that was going. Haven't started with him yet, so can't say.

He told me, "Oh everything is fine with her. We just wanted to talk to her before she worked with any other clients."

Well that's not what she told me. Because if that were the case I would not be advocating for her.

The entire awkward exchange took no longer than 5 minutes. It ended with him taking a note of what was said and then he said thanks for coming in. I left feeling very weird about the whole situation. He looked at me like I was from another planet when I was telling him why I was there.

I quickly called the ex-trainer and left a message for her saying I went to talk to them but they were very unresponsive.

My friend helped me try and figure out his almost robotic stance with me. Maybe her being fired was confidential and by her telling me, it was another no-no on her part. Maybe him saying they just wanted to talk to her before she worked with any other clients was a lie because I wasn't supposed to know the end result. She may have dug herself deeper.

And I've honestly had more bullshit than I can take with that gym. I don't know why the drama always ends up finding me but I'm done. I don't want to talk about it anymore. I just want to go there and work out.

DONE!!

And sorry, but this has been weighing on my mind so Fashion Friday will have to wait a bit. Maybe the inspiration will come back to me tomorrow and I'll do a Saturday Edition.
