nwhikerSo I volunteered at a meet at AC's gym today. Yesterday State, today, this.
A few observations?
The woman who asked if she could go in to make sure it was the correct session before paying and then didn't come back? I wasn't too happy... but then she stopped to pay on her way out. Thank you.
The woman with 7 kids, one of them a gymnast who doesn't pay, who complained that there was no 'family admission' price? Too bad, lady. And I gave you a break on two of the younger ones, even though technically I should have made them pay. Do you really expect the world to cut you a major break because you chose to breed 7 kids?
To the gym parents -two dads- who were signed up for the heavy duty lifting at the end of the day, and who cancelled by crossing their names out on Friday evening, so the meet coordinator, who was at State with us, didn't find out until this morning? You suck. It was a lot of heavy work, and for a while my spouse was the only guy there. One guy who was doing something else volunteered to stay, thank goodness, because some of those jobs? Really do need very strong people. I mean, I'm strong, so are two of the other women who were there, but balance beans? Weigh a fucking ton. My knees and back hurt, and I'm not a knees and back hurting kind of person.
To the other parents of the optional gymnasts, and the gymnasts themselves, who all asked about AC, and were concerned about her, and felt bad because of how her season ended? Thank you. My daughter is lucky to be part of your community.
