Yay! I made it to the pool. Feelin like a rockstar cause it was minus wtf and I went to the pool. We had no coach as he text someone that his car wouldn't start...so had to come up with a workout on our own. All in all, I got in about 3000 meters in just under an hour, happy with that!! Did some swim, did some pull, did some kick, did some im. Was a pretty good swim!
Head to the showers and strip out of my suit and a couple of girls from the lane swim come into the showers. I recognize one of them as the daughter of one of our biggest client.
There I am.
Naked.
Do I say "Hi!" Cause she knows who I am. She is also naked. Do I do the blow off, like I do not see her? Do I ignore her and go on my way? OMG! What do I do??!
I do what comes natural to me and I say "Hi Karen!! How are you? How did your parents enjoy their trip?"
She looks stunned.
I am starting to regret my decision as there is that awkward silence as she is trying to place me and I am standing there wet and naked and now wanting to hide!!
So I say "It's Kelly...from the McFaull Office!!"
Still no recoginzing.
Shit.
"The McFaull office...?" a little quieter and timid and I am thinking maybe I have the wrong person!!
She says "OOOOHHHHHH!!!! Hiiiiii....How are you?" And you know how the rest of the conversation went....small talk...catching up a bit...wishing each other a Merry Christmas...blah...blah...blah.
Just a weeee bit awkward to be talking to clients in the buff!!

lol....so much i want to say but i am sure keith will say it better!!!
LMAO!!!
I mean really, what is proper "locker-room" etiquette"?
For instance, do you shake hands with someone when you are both in the buff? What about a fist bump? Or chest bump for that matter....
Julie is killing her self laughing. I mean seriously. Someone better call to make sure she isn't choking to death.
You did right to say hello. She will almost certainly mention to your client. Shows good social poise.
People don't expect to be talked to in the locker room, except by people they already know. Sometimes it takes a minute place them. And it's even worse when you're really short sighted like me.
And some people are really hung up about not being dressed. For whatever reason. I remember reading an accident report about a woman that ended up with severe chemical burns because she wasn't willing to strip off and get into the emergency shower. It was out in the open, you see, and some guys had helped drag her to the shower.
LMAO!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!
Nice recovery! Once you start you might as well commit!
Our North American culture is so bloody hoity-toity about nudity. I really believe everyone should have to squat over a bowl of water and wash themselves in front of others at least once in their life....Cured me of any lingering shyness.
I have a hard time shutting up at the best of times -- now I am a shower talker too. I'll talk to you while I shave my armpits, I'll look you in the eye as I soap up...LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Did you know Jenna mooned me at the swim/run camp? LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
jeeesus!! Julie that ass moon was for you only babe!! Kelly - call me if you ever need a lift - we work side by side - we might be on differnt hours though....
OMG,I am blushing reading that so I can only imagine how you felt. Dying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PS- I forgot that you and Jenna refer to temps and "minus wtf." Love it.
Yikes-Saturday Night Live skit-hello! It was a funny recount nonetheless. Thanks for giving us a good laugh. WITH you, of course :)
