So, Julio got a better job w/the City of Glendale and our new 'crew chief'' is a young-ish woman named Susie. The first time I meet/work w/her, I am not in the mood to deal w/her
newness. There are only three of us that day, me & two guys, one of them a fresh newbie, and
I get sent out alone. Yay. I don't want to teach anyone this job I hate. Not today, anyway.
After I screw around w/my clothes and my coffee and don't even make it down to Doheny to turn back, she picks me up to go 'somewhere else'. On the way, we pull-over so she can watch the other two for a minute. Once we start cruising, I feel the need to get some info.
"So, is this your new full-time job?" I ask. The answer is yes. We start talking about the difficulty in finding a job right now and, as we pass destination Fairfax, she asks what I do. I'm in the fitness biz. Oh, she really wants to get in shape. She just had a baby. Has three kids. We pass
La Brea, then Highland. How much do I charge? Where?
By the time we turn around at Vine St., I have a new client for my bootcamp class. Finally, something positive.
