NOT Celebrity Junk

I've had several complaints about this exposure.  What do I say??

"Dude, nobody wants to see your junk, wear longer shorts" or something more casual like "Do you feel a breeze?" with a subtle glance downward. 

I'm going home.

My wakeup text from Sunshine aka Chicken Little:

Blond Goddess isn't leaving the gym is she?

No. She's on vacation, probably doing another 10k to prep for her marathon. 

Ok some ladies were asking to make sure.  Said she did not like the lady this morning... That 2 people got up and left class... I told her you had said she was training but would check just to make sure

After her marathon she actually wants to teach more classes
Ok good do you know how long she will be gone.  She said she may not come bake till she is back.   Guess she really didn't like this teacher Anything I need to do today?

Fighters Return To Your Corners

Texts from Sunshine:

So that lady that worked out with Mandelbaum hasn't been in sense u kicked him out...

Call when u can have a question

Call when u can need to ask about a contract

I need to talk to u like ASAP please

Unless the bldg is burning down I do not care. I'll be there tomorrow.
 
I was just told Hazel made out that I have been saying u say a bunch of stuff which I haven't.. I just want to know what's going on and if I'm in Trouble

I really don't care what you do in your personal life. But I am getting a swear jar. 

I just want to make sure u know I'm not saying anything that u don't tell me

Just do what you do and let Hazel do what she does and things will be fine. There's no need to call her. 

I just asked her y she was saying that stuff.  I have never told her anything u didn't tell me to tell her... She said I was being a jerk to her lately but like I told u. I was tired of when I tell her a member had a complaint she would jump my ass... It's not me it's just me letting her know.... I just want to make sure I'm still ok there and you guys are happy with me...

Swear jar ;)

Lol I promis I have cleaned up my mouth a lot... There are members that I have to ask to tone it down sometimes... But I have been trying ever sence Jerry talked to me about things I can do to improve myself. Grow my hair, warch my mouth..

Texts from Hazel:

Have u talk to Sunshine yet or u waiting to just asking if they no I'm coming to clean tonight

I haven't talked to him. He's gone by that time so it's just Smiley.  And Smiley knows you're coming. 

Ok just wondering Smiley text me and asked if I was going to clean and said Sunshine is so mad because I've been to clean I told Smiley I'm dealing with u from now own lol crazy Yeah I told him I was he said ok Well Sunshine called me and he is pissed and told me I had no right throwing him under bus I didn't and I'm not going to fuss with him U tell me what u want me to do it don't matter to me I can clean for u or not but this is nuts and he is crazy pissed right now He said he was calling u o tell u how it is so heads up
He's been calling and texting me all day.  Just please clean and ignore him. He's not in charge and he will not be there when you go there.

Ok just making sure ill take care of it then He just called again and I pretty much told him how it was so and I will go threw u from now own He is demanded to no what I said to u I'm not going to pick up the phone for him again

You don't have to answer your phone.

I'm not hope he dont come there tonight he is mad

I just texted him and told him to not call you.

Ok


I guess I'll see if she shows up tonight.  I've posted an ad for a new cleaning person just in case and have already received about 40 applications.  I hope that I do not have to spend my day interviewing people tomorrow.

Poppins Will Have The Answers

The nap cleared my head and when I woke up I had the brilliant idea to call Poppins, the very sweet older lady that manages the kids' club. 

So Poppins, Hazel gave me an earful today.  Is there something going on between Sunshine & Venus?  I don't really care what grown ups do, I just don't want it in my gym.

Yeah, there was definitely something going on before Sunshine got married, but I haven't seen anything since then.  It was obvious at the time, with a little hug or touch here and there, but now he's married and Venus is dating someone.

I don't know what to think about Sunshine pursuing the 17 year old daughter...

(Laughter)  I really don't think that's true.  Sunshine and Hazel just do not get along at all.  Sunshine flirts with 80 year old women, it doesn't really mean anything.  It's just Sunshine.

Hazel had a lot to say about his bad language...

Yeah, well that's just Sunshine.  He means well, but he is rough around the edges.  I say "Hi Sunshine" and he says "Fuck you Poppins."  It's not mean, it's just him.  Gotta love everyone for what they are.

Yeah, I guess.  But I'm getting a swear jar!  I'll donate the money to charity.  Thanks Poppins!  See you tomorrow.

If That Closet Could Talk!

So I called Hazel this morning to listen to her story.  She thought it best to start at the beginning...

Sunshine was texting and calling my 17 year old daughter!  I thought that was bad enough but then I found out that he was engaged.  He kept telling my daughter that he was going to get married.  Then after he got married, he told her he backed out of the wedding and the wedding never happened.

Of course it happened, there are wedding pics all over Facebook.

I know.  So I told him to stop calling and texting my daughter, then he got mad at me and started making things difficult for me when I came to the gym to clean.  Last week he said that you said you were going to fire me if I didn't get my shit together and that I was doing a horrible job.  The worst part about it was he said it in front of a large group of members and the kids club lady.  That's when I decided I would finish the week and be done.  I need this job, but I don't want to work in a place where I am humiliated.

I understand.  I'm sorry that happened like that.  I think Sunshine just became your contact because he was the one that wanted me to hire you.  Now that I have your #, I think communication will be better.

For some reason, everyone thinks he is the manager of that place and people just don't like him.  The women who gave him my # for this job quit a couple of months ago because Sunshine told her husband that she was fat.

Oh my god!  Are you kidding?

It wasn't like "hey your wife is fat,"  it was trying to be funny because she used to train with Sunshine and hadn't worked out in awhile. 

What's up with Sunshine and Venus?

I walked in on them making out in the closet!
  Smiley is the only one works there.

That's funny to hear you say that.  Because for the job that I expect to be get done, he actually works the least.

Did Sunshine tell you that?

No, this is based on his actual work and some other things that have happened.

There's also been a lot of stories going around that you were going to hire a manager.  Sunshine is telling everyone that he's quitting if you hire a manager.

I've been thinking about it and I think I have found someone that I think would be great.  If Sunshine quits, he quits.

Oh.  Well I'd love to try the evening cleaning.

Great.  For now, let's see how that goes.  Smiley is there at night, so he is the only one that you will have to see.

I'm going home and going to bed.  Sunshine has called my phone four times this morning all ready.  I do not want to talk on the phone, I really want to see the expression on his and Venus' faces when I confront them both tomorrow about their closet activities.

I really need security cameras!

It's Labor Day and I'm trying to enjoy a day of peace.  Everything seems to be going pretty well at the gym.  I'm renting some extra unused space to a karate studio, we signed a ton of new members in August and I just finished payroll and all bill paying for the entire month of September.  A wave of relaxation came over me and for the first time in three years, I was at peace.  Then my cell phone beeps...


Hey Serena this is Hazel (my cleaning service) I dropped the gym today after months of put down by Sunshine (previously known as the personal trainer) that gym needs someone that noes how to to run it and Sunshine is not the one he is going to land y'all in court due to the way he treats and talks to people in that place I thank you for the time u had me but u really need to look that place over the best and only person working there is Smiley (the night front desk person) Sunshine lies to y'all and it's sad so many people have left there and y'all are loosing money due to him I have months of rude nasty text including  him saying u cut me down aswell and I just want u to no I busted butt there that place was a nightmare when I came there I clean homes full time and have even got homes from there due to good work I would be glad to work for u but I will not answer to Sunshine and will not work under him and if u want that gym to grow u need people that are good to people not rude and trying to sleep with everyone that walks in the door I just want u to no why I have left and why lots of people are leaving and planning to leave if u would like to talk to me feel free to call thanks 
So are you quitting?  I'm confused. He is the one who usually gets the complaints from members so instead of telling me, he just tells you. It's not meant to be mean. Do you have some examples of the behavior so I can address it with him?
Would u call me and we can talk about it I'll be glad to tell u 
I have family in town until tomorrow, but would love to talk tomorrow. Are you quitting?
Call me tomorrow and we will talk about all of it
Ok. I just want to know if you cleaned today so I know if I need to figure something out.
The reason I have not came to u before now is because of treats by him if I did I'd loose my job and Serena I have a family to look after but I'm coming to u now cause I don't care anymore just call me tomorrow and we will talk
No I didn't
Your $ was there, did you get it. I'm going to the airport in the morning. But need to know if you are going to clean tomorrow. Venus (the beautiful front desk morning girl) is there from 5 am until 2pm.
I did but there was money for two weeks I left it and got only 200 for last week I'm not trying to screw u over or leave u hanging please no that I just can't take the trash anymore when I'm giving all I have to y'all for 40 dollars a day I want to talk to u on phone or face to face and we can go from there just call me in morning when u have time and I needed to do it in afternoon and was told that was fine then I was made to look a fool girl I'm telling u u guys are getting ripped off before it own eyes trust me I have nothing to loose by telling u truth
Ok. I think everyone agrees that you do a good job. But if a member makes a comment, I have to address it. It's not mean and the intent is not to make you feel bad.
The point is he has said u and others have said stuff and members and there not I have talk to members myself and it's lies I was just told lat week u Serena was sick of our shit and going to find someone else and we had not done one thing and this was in front of people and when I told him well I'll call Serena myself he got very mad and told me I better not that gym is worth way more the 40 a day u no that aswell as I do and no one should have to put up with him and it's not just work he was texting and call my daughter all the time until I seen he was married and put a stop to it he has been a dick since and last he dont tell u half that goes on there nor that gyms members don't like to see him and Venus making out aswell I'm telling u u Better open ur eyes Sunshine is no good and is going to cost u a lot u ant run a place like that u only no what ur told cause ur not there there really is no reason u should have to pay to have that place cleaned ur work hands should help u do it and be thankful to jobs are hard to come by these day but instead they watch tv all day and text until ur there then they get up and act o be working its sad I don't roll that way I take pride I. My work and when someone I paying u I believe u should do right buy them and lord knows I have for y'all I'm just feld up whole thing makes me sick put cameras up hidden and u will see telling u the truth I don't mind doing it but I need to do it at night and I no u don't want that so if u change ur mind and need me I will be glad to do it but as I said I will not have one thing to do with him nor answer to him he try's to make everyone look bad and the problem is him Smiley (the night front desk person) and ur lady that does kids is the only people doing right by y'all and that's the truth thy both no about everything there but are scared to say a word but I'm not Last we where told last week y'all where just going to hire a cleaning person for five days a week that stays at gym that came right from Sunshine I'm sure I have blown ur mind and I'm sorry but if it where my company I would like to no so letting u no
Ok. We'll talk tomorrow. For the record all I said was "can you remind Hazel to pull out the small roles of TP and put them in the closet for the kids to use".  What time at night do you want to come?  It's pretty busy until about 7. 
I would like to come about 830 that is all that would work for me cause I got a part time job to so I had to with gas being so high and I think it's worth $250 a week myself I think it's worth more then that but I will do it for u if u can work with me and u promise I don't have to have one thing to do with Sunshine  And I was doing that with towels and was told to stop let them run all way out so I was  It should be done at night because it would be clean for morning crew Let me no what u want to do cause I have to plan my week I have three houses tomorrow and need to no what I need to do
Ok. I think 250 is too much for what will be 1-1/2 of work. (8:30-10) I've tried evening cleaning but it didn't work that great. I'd try it at night but I know you want more $. On Friday, we close at 9 so I don't know what we would do on Fridays. 
Fridays we could come at 730 yes I think 250 is fair I have three people cleaning for that and we make 75 on one house in 1 hr I don't feel that's to much that place was never cleaned the way we clean it so I understand if u think u can find someone else for 200 then ok but I promise u it will not be done right jut let me no but even if we don't stay doing it I would like to talk to u
U have to look at gas to its went up .50 a gallon in a month so I mean u have to see it cost to do it I've went up on houses to 25$ a house have to
I'll try $225 if you want this week. You can do Saturday to make up for today. I know all about gas as I drive 45 miles to get to the gym. Looks like I missed a lot while I was gone for the summer. I definitely want to talk. Just enjoying the last day with my family.
Ok we will try it this week have fun with ur family call me tomorrow please

Reality check!  So now what do I do?
