I know a lot of us are worked up about [...] recent initiatives, but I just want to remind us all to be polite and courteous. Especially when using the gym facilities. It's normal to get all sweaty to work out certain kinks and all, but remember to drink your water to quench that thirst and use a towel to wipe up your exertions.

Nobody wants to sit in a puddle when they're tryna work their thighs or have someone else's sweat slick down their back when they just want to work their seated OHPs.

It only takes two seconds to wipe down the equipment after you use it and gives you time to catch your breath.

[griiff]

I agree. And you should be resting 2 minutes minimum between sets. More'n enough time.

[reidings]

True and it has the added bonus of giving you something to do during that rest.

[griiff]

Right? Better than staring at other people.

[reidings]

It does help with that. Staring is sometimes unavoidable though, it’s a small space

[griiff]

I'm really good at not looking at other people.

[reidings]

Do you just stare at the ceiling?

[griiff]

The ceiling. The back of my eyelids. The bench.

[reidings]

All acceptable options and better than getting caught staring. Even if it’s unintentional.

[griiff]

Ever get caught staring, Jamie?

[reidings]

No, I try not to make people uncomfortable when they’re working out.

[griiff]

Always good. Remember that one lady from Supplies a few years back? One that got grounded? She used to stare at people when they squatted.

[reidings]

I remember her. She made it pretty obvious when she was staring. That’s not why she was grounded though, was it?

[griiff]

Nah, her family got unVeiled and she decided to join 'em.

[reidings]

Oh that’s much better, didn’t think they usually grounded people for just watching people squat in the gym.

[griiff]

If they grounded for lascivious behavior, Mnemo would be mostly empty.

[reidings]

Hey, there would be one or two of us left.

[griiff]

We could probably hold down the fort.

[reidings]

Just think of how quiet it would be.

[griiff]

Could probably hear the storm in that silence.

[reidings]

I can't decide if that would be terrifying or calming, actually.

[griiff]

I think it depends on if you like storms.

[reidings]

I loved thunderstorms so it wouldn't be that bad. Just a little different.

[griiff]

Never liked thunderstorms myself. Makes flying hard.

[reidings]

I didn't think about that since flying isn't my profession I never had to worry about it.
