isn't it funny...

when you are on the phone at work, your senses and volume are greatly determined by to whom you are talking...

If you are talking to a co-worker about a valid project, your supervisor, or whoever - as long as you are supposed to be having these conversations at work - your volume is normal to raised.

I know and have noticed that people tend to talk louder when it's "official" business...

plus, you don't seem to notice that you are talking extremely loud in front of the others in your area...

... ... ...

now.

when you are talking to your significant other, your best friend, or someone to whom you should not be talking during work hours...

your voice is barely about a whisper.

and you are extraordinarily aware of everything going on around you...

your co-worker typing away at his computer.

the manager walking by your cube area, glancing in at you.

the dust behind your monitor.

the buzzing of the florescent light about your desk.

... ... ...

your senses are heightend to almost Wolverinesque levels...

and you think that everyone can hear the conversation that you are not supposed to be having in the office.

... ... ...

but really...

nobody actually gives a shit about to whom you are talking and rather like the fact that you are not trying to talk over the entire office.

because they have work to do.

and so do you...

which is why you feel like you shouldn't be on the phone.

... ... ...

I'm just sayin...

so I was talking about fitness hotel rooms (the ones where they have some equipment in your room or bring equipment to your room) with Lorie, and we were saying how much easier it would be to use a treadmill or whatever if you were in the privacy of your own room...

well... little did I know that the hotel I have been staying at has this amenity, if you will, that can simply be requested.

I'm not sure if I just became aware because of my newly instated "silver" status, or it was just something that was overlooked on my part...

but for sure, I will be asking for this from now on...

now I will be able to run and watch TV from the comfort of my hotel room...

how nice...

... ... ...

I'm glad I discovered this sooner, rather than later...

because soccer starts soon...

and I have this lurking feeling that I might be very, very, un-fit.
