So I’ve been going to the gym during my lunch hour for the past month. Usually, I try to go three times a week (not including Fridays and whatever day during the week Cary and I schedule to meet with our trainer), and so far it’s worked out pretty well. An hour gives me just enough time to drive to the gym, spend 20-30 minutes on the elliptical machine, shower and drive back to work.
I was a little shocked this Tuesday when I finished showering and walked back to my locker in just a towel to find that there was a female janitor cleaning the men’s locker room. I wasn’t embarrassed or anything — if this lady doesn’t have a problem being in there, neither do I — but it was interesting watching the faces of the other guys in the locker room.
Nevertheless, I thought it was odd that a woman would be in there…maybe the gym doesn’t have enough male janitors? I dunno. At any rate, it was enough to make me wonder if I had wandered into the wrong locker room by mistake, even though I was getting my clothes out of the locker which had been secured with my combination lock, and there were other men in there. Still, it threw me off a bit.
