Seriously, get down to the goddamn gym--try to talk the manager down in the price if you must, but really, I mostly care about getting the membership at this point, because I've been waiting since July and I'm not a patient person anyway.
I'm really hoping I get a secure, sales-free job so I can tell her to fuck off about this and my friend and I can just get our own instead. The gym we want is less than 200 feet from the house, so why she hasn't just gone down there and bought the fucking thing, I don't know
