A Taste to tie you over

Hi Everyone, Ok I know that I promised great blogging about my trip. However bear with me I have been off for 10 days and I just had my first day back to work in my new office with a door!! Anyway Im quite tired and I know that it will take me some time to explain the whole trip in the best way possible. So Im just giving you a taste with this picture of me and my better half. This was taken on an island off of a beach called half moon beach. We went the day to snorkle, however I was the only one who ended up making it out in the water (more on that later). Anyway it was great we had fun and a much needed rest. So have no fear give me a few days to get my act together and I will have more tales for you.

On an unrelated matter I have a thought for those of you out there (feel free to comment) How do you feel about public showers at the gym? Im trying out a new gym nearer to my work, I bought a 1 month membership to try and see if I like it. So I went on my lunch for a work out and all went well until I hit the change room. I got in there to go shower and much to my distress there were no shower stalls but rather one big open room, it was like a ballroom for showering. Just this big open echoing tiled room with shower heads coming out of the wall side by side. So you can imagine that being that Im not one for public nudity I was in rather a jam needing to not be sweaty and needing to not be nude. The other horror was that all the naked people that were wondering around were well old flat jack breasts down to there knees. EEK! So I thought well I cant look much worse then that (perhaps better gravity still likes me for the most part) So I thought what the hell. So I wrapped my towel and walked to the shower head in the ball room. I quickly whipped off my towel jump under the shower and did a speed shower. However I had this old lady talking to me, she asked if I knew how to adjust the water. I did not and thought that would be the end, but not she proceeded to talk to me now I dont know abotu you but her being naked and my being naked really broke my social boundaries of comfort. I managed to hurry away saying I needed to go to work. This night mare is only going to get more real so I pose this question: My boss and I enjoy working out on our lunch together, how close is too close is it rather uncomfortable for my boss and I to see each other naked.. my thought is yes, and tomorrow we go to the gym I have no idea what I will do, can I shower in my clothes? Anythoughts to help would be appreicated!!!

Well this has always been a thing for me - from the pool when I was 12 at least. Then I went to the mine, and same thing - about 50 nasty miners in one big shower room - no walls. You get used to it, I know you don't believe me, but you do get used to it. Look at the lady that was talking to you - she didn't mind that you were naked at all. However, I am not sure of etiquette in the ladies rooms - i know in a mine you don't look for fear of getting your ass kicked. But that is a mine. Keep your eyes up high.

However, the added possibility of your boss being there is a little odd. You want to be close with your boss, but there are still limits. Good luck with that one.
