No Apology Would Have Been Better Than This

May 9, 2008

Remember this? My fight with the manager of my gym? I spoke with the supervisor three weeks ago, in which he ensured me he would be speaking to her and I was right and he was sorry but there was nothing he could do. I explained that if I spoke to someone like that I [...]
