My boyfriend’s scared of black people.

 Od’s driving me crazy.  I’ve wanted to write a few times but the site just hasn’t worked for me.  I guess I should be used to it by now.  For some reason, it’s temporarily lapsed and allowed me to log in and write, but as for reading notes or bookmarks, no chance.  
I’ve often wondered how long it would take me to transfer 9 years of entries over to another site.  I don’t like the idea of that. 

There was a really big bulky guy at the gym after work last night, and we were the only two there.   He struck up a conversation with me and I commented that he was pretty big and asked how long he’d been going to the gym.  He said only about 4 months because he stopped for ages.  He was 31 now, and hadnt been since he was 17, but has two daughters and another on the way, so decided to improve his fitness to keep up with his kids.

He was a really friendly Pacific Islander guy, and had just completed a 16 hour work day as a manager at a hotel near my place.  And here I was after a 5hr shift doing my workout haha.  We chatted about fitness for a while.  He eats 8 meals a day and has protein with three of the main ones.  My god!  I only wish I could eat that much haha.  I simply can’t.   I’m eating well I feel,  but not to that extent.  I wouldn’t be able to afford it anyway.   I guess as a manager, he can probably afford 56 meals a week and bucketloads of protein.  He was telling me about the protein how it’s a lean protein, because he’s trying to lose weight.  Interesting.  I was always told the body can only process around 30gms of protein a day, but it was just cool having a chat with him.

…Until Vish and his boyfriend arrived and Vish asked out loud (to the guy), "My boyfriend’s scared of black people, can you talk to him?"

I. Was. Mortified!

Lucky Terry replied nonchalantly,  "Black guy?" and laughed, and continued his workout.

I said to Vish, "I can’t believe you just said that" and he goes, "c’mon, he knows I was joking."

No, I actually thought we all might get our heads kicked in lol.  Not only with the racist card, but thank fuck the guy wasn’t homophobic, with Vish having essentially outing all of us, including his closeted boyfriend haha.

I guess Vish is generally a good judge of character.   I mean, he does hang out with me.  They’ve only decided to join me in gym sessions the past two times.  Vish’s boyfriend actually wants to pay me to train him, but I’m not comfortable with it as I’m not qualified to train individuals, and I mainly did it to help myself, and I’m very glad I did.  Vish seems to not want to let it go though, and his boyfriend already has a trainer, but reckons he’d prefer to pay a friend over a stranger.  Yeah, I still don’t agree.  I’m more tha  happy to chat about what I know with them.  It seems to me like his trainer is just in it for the money training him three times a week when I could do the same in two,  but I don’t know his trainer do I?

My manager at work asked me last night if I wanted to work Thursdays, as both he and the 2IC manager don’t work that night.  I didn’t like the idea of it and actually replied, "Not really." LOL.  He then asked the new guy who only started last week, who accepted it.  I THEN found out it would involve 4am finishes at the latest.  Fuck that.  I don’t want to go back to that.  I’m passed that.  Been there done that.  I then spent my shift second-guessing myself about whether I should have accepted, as I do lol.  
Right now, I’m glad I didn’t.   My other workmates tried to make it out to seem like a promotion, but it didn’t seem like it to me.  I then asked one of my workmates who was in charge on Thursday nights, and he said Rhys was!  I adore Rhys, but doesn’t sound like a very smooth operation going on there boys!
I’m happy with my decision right now.
I also found out that management are wanting to change our shifts from 7pm-12am shifts to 8pm – 1am shifts.  Jesus, what is this?  That’ll then mean I’ll only see customers for 2 hours a week on average haha.  By all means.  Plus the hour after midnight is extra pay.  Will just wait and see how this all pans out I guess.
