Journey, Not A Destination

I'm a dirty OLD non-lady and proud of it -

:)

it's taken me years to get to this level.. I've worked hard at it -- If i put this amount of effort into other things -hell I'd be a marathon runner myself right now :D
 
Buy the truck! Sounds like you really like it so why not go for it? Can you trade your current car in? Or would you sell it? What do you drive by the way right now? I think our cars kind of show a little of our personality...I drive a 2007 convertible beetle. I love it...makes my long ass commutes that much more enjoyable.

That is exciting your personal training biz is taking off. I hear ya on hesitating to work for the gym...it's a much different story when you are being pushed to sell training sessions and gym memberships. I see you being more of the type of working for yourself and really listening to your clients needs versus satisfying a quota...

So did you knock the other adviser out or what? How heated did it get? Was spit flying from the yelling? LOL Work drama..always makes things a little spicy.

B/C I really like my car too. I'm afraid that once I got rid of it I'd be like, "Damn, why did I get rid of that car!?"

Getting a new vehicle is always appealing but I'm hoping it's not shadowing over how much I still like my car.

But as I said above, I don't like the monthly payment on my car given the fact that I live so close to work. It's a 2005 and has 13000 miles.

I would ideally trade it in, but that depends on what they're willing to give me for it.

What do you drive by the way right now?

350z... there's a picture of it in .

I also drive a Jeep Wrangler, which part of me says, "Why do I need another 4 wheel drive vehicle. But jeeps are shit for space. Both of my current vehicles are like toys, haha.

Hmm, if that's the case I'd hate to hear what my vehicles say about me.

It seems like I'm trying to make up for other areas I might be lacking in. A yellow sports car and a jeep oversized tires on it.

The jeep I had in college. I always wanted one and bought one as soon as I could afford it. I wanted big tires and all this other off-roading stuff b/c I liked the idea that I could drive anywhere. And I did drive anywhere, lol. I beat that thing.

My car is a product of my desire to drive fast. I like speed and performance. My intention wasn't to go out and buy a yellow sports car. I wasn't even in the market for a car... I had an 11 month old acura tl at the time. I just saw it sitting there and said, "I want to drive that thing." I ended up buying it.

I could see you driving that.

I always see 'hot chicks' driving beetles.

Nail on the head.

I would never sell myself....

I mean if I had to, I suppose. But I haven't had to sell myself since I was a trainer in college. The good thing about this opportunity is the manager really likes me and It's pretty much whatever I want to make of it. I can either work for the gym or sub-contract in a way. I haven't decided.

It took all I had to hold back, I'll say that much. He was being completely illogical and belligerent. I wish I had a recording of some of the things he said. He apologized since so it's all good. I told him that "I've had completely drunken arguments in college with guys who probably could be labeled as mentally challenged and those conversations never degraded to the level you took this one."
 
Hum....the truck swap for the sports car is tricky...although the truck has many more practical uses. I would hold onto the sports cars at least until you start having children....why grow up too fast? OR...you could start kicking ass at work and have all 3 of them. Now that might be considered ridiculous but hey, we Americans do enjoy the land of plenty.

I love jeeps and offroading...although I don't like being in situations where I feel like the damn car is going to fall over on its side. I'd much prefer to get out and watch the rock climbing rather than praying the roll cage holds up. hahah Definitely keep the Jeep. Nothing more manly than one of those.

Sounds like that co-worker fight was juicy...was an a-hole. Let me guess...he was probably way older than you and you gave him the smack down by outwitting him. He probably lost his cool and you remained calm and collected on the outside while wanting to throw him a left hook on the inside :)

That's a good point. Wait until I'm forced to get rid of the sports car. However, I don't think that time would ever come. I have the jeep which has a backseat for a kid and wife drives an SUV. So we probably wouldn't ever need to get rid of the sports car.

I kick enough ass. I'm not happy with the free time I have now. Maybe when my new business officially opens but even if I'm making a mil a year I want to cut back on my expenses. I buy something big every single week, haha.

Jeep isn't going anywhere. I have too much money invested in it and wouldn't get enough for it even if I were to sell it. Plus, I still love driving that thing. As soon as it gets warm here the top and doors come off and stay off until winter.

He's much older. And I was calm and collected for a majority of the conflict. He was yelling from the start, pretty much. It wasn't until he started cursing and stuff that I yelled a bit but it was namely to be heard. Then I gave up on that and asked to be heard for one minute. I stated 3 fundamental facts pertaining to the situation as logically and rationally as I possibly could and asked him how his 'point' makes any sense. He had no response and barged out.

He then called me saying, "I assume furthering this discussion would have no benefit.. am I right?"

I told him he could have asked me that 5 minutes into the conflict and my answer would have been the same.... NO.

He then said, "I hope this didn't put any poison in our relationship."

He then emailed me apologizing (couldn't do that to my face!) and explained how disagreements happen.

No shit.
 
Men and their egos! I guess that goes for women as well. Way to get down to the logic of the argument and call him on his BS. I love how he had no response...so he ran. Chicken shit. LMAO! Yeah, and he better apologize so you don't kick his wrinkly ass. I'd be afraid of you! hahah

Sorry, that's a little of my Italian hot head coming out.
 
Hahaha, the funny thing is he got a little tipsy at the last company Christmas party and was trying to tell me how it is with fitness. We got into a friendly debate. Everyone was drinking and having a good time. One of our female employees said, "What I'd like to see is Steve and Steve to stop jibber jabbering and go out and settle this in the yard with some wrestling."

So when he emailed me the apology yesterday, in my reply I made sure not to apologize as well. I think a lot of people apologize just so they can hear a return apology from the other party.

Then I ended it with this P.S.

"Next time we have a disagreement, which seems to be inevitable, I propose some drunken lawn rasslin. Winner takes all the glory and loser shuts up."

He didn't reply....hahahaha.

I'm too laid back to put a whoopin on him and he knows it. But that doesn't mean I haven't thought about whooping up on him.

And if you met me in person, you wouldn't be scared...
 
Oh, and my bday is in a couple of weeks too.

June 16th!!!!!!!!!

I expect gifts from EVERYONE!

My eyes are tearing up from quietly trying to hold back laughing right now in my cube. You crack me up. You know damn well he would be the loser shutting his trap and he knows that too. If anything you probably stoked the fire with that comment. You know its only a matter of time before he flares up again...can't wait to hear about it!!
