Spin class...and Q-TIPS

This is kind of fun and wild. I'm waiting for a job back East. In the meantime, I don't have a job out West (which is where I am at the moment). Actually, that's not entirely true; as of two days ago I do have job (out West). I was at the gym and just finished my workout and I thought to myself, "Self, it would be a good idea to work at a gym. That way you could workout all the time and get in great shape...AND get paid!"

So I ask to talk to the manager and told her my situation and wanted to know if she'd hire me. She replied, "Do you want to teach spin class every Wednesday and Saturday?"

I've never taught a spin class before. In fact I've maybe taken three total spin classes in my life. "Sure!" Next thing you know, I'm hired! The way I see it, my "students" don't know that I've never taught spinning before. With the right enthusiasm and loud music who's to say I haven't!

What's the moral of this little experience? The "professionals" you turn to may not have a flippin' clue what they're doing. But if the music's right and they're confident, why not?

Oh, and you can use Q-TIPS to clean dust off of camera lenses. Genius!

So it took me two days to figure out that you left a link at the bottom of the last message you left me - I was incredibly confused by your apparent antics for a bit. Q - tips are also used for getting various culture samples inorder to grow bacteria and stuff. As scientifically and medically accurate as I'm sure I've stated it.
