legalmooseAh, early January. That time when every Tom, Dick and Sally comes out to the gym with hopes of shaping up for the new year. That time when these 'resolutioners' take up space in the pool, cardio and weight rooms, trying (and failing miserably) not to look clueless about how to use the equipment, all the while making the space and the process more confusing than it ever needs to be.
I think I've finally mellowed in my approach to them. I used to not-quite-snarl at them, and inside I'm still disdainful, but mainly I ignore them now, or politely ask them to move (and just as politely answer questions if asked), and just general try to stay out of their way until this burst of energy dissipates and they go back into their soda, sweets and (pseudo) Atkins/South Beach/faddish-diet induced comas.
