Working for a micro-managing boss is the worst.
Yeah, it's been pretty bad. She's trying to prove a point about the rules in the employee handbook, trying to catch the two people on the team who IGNORE those guidelines, and all she is doing is pissing off everyone on the team who DO follow the rules. She is sorely lacking in whatever it takes to LEAD.

This was cracking me up yesterday when I was in the weight room.
How about the people who get on the leg press machine and treat it likes it's cardio equipment? 10 million reps at 25 lbs. They can tie up a single machine for 15 min...
... or the people who sit on a machine for 5 minutes between sets while playing with the cell phones...
... or the people who collect all the dumbbells they're going to use for their entire workout and stack them in a pile around them like a fort so nobody else can use them...
... or the people who use the weight bench as a table for their cell phone while they do standing bicep curls. (It's not like they're hogging the bench... there's plenty of room for other people to put their phones on the bench, too. LOL)
Oh well, I can always find something else to do. I'll just circle back around when they're gone. It does make me wonder what they're thinking though.
Cheers,
One of the reasons I thought the circuit area would work better for me is that there's this timer on the wall. You work your weights until the light turns red. Then you wipe your machine, then you go to the steps and work on cardio once the light goes back to green. Then you move to the next machine. A little bit like Curves, which I loved when I used to work out there years ago. But yeah, I came in there one time and someone had put his phone and sweat rag on the dang pec press machine. The first machine in the cycle...I get there and walk over and there's this stuff on the machine?
Maybe out on the regular floor is better after all. SMH.
