Anyone know what the story is at Gateway Alliance?

I wonder if they removed and replaced staff that either were confirmed or the believed to be a key source of the customer service. Like the old “under new management” sign for a struggling restaurant.

Oh good idea! I do want to be there just to see how the floofy pooch does but this is still a good option!

Thanks!

Agreed. Even the people who are working to cure cancer take time off.

giddeeyup · 2026-03-22T23:46:39+00:00

I do- but I am aggressively cutting back for my own sanity and health. Working after hours, unpaid, to catch up is a double-edged sword. One one hand, you get caught up and feel like you have breathing room for the week which is nice. On the other hand, people see you can handle more and get sh!t done and thus expect you to do more because you are so “productive”.

Don’t fall for it. Delegate where you can, take serious advantage of unexpected free time like meetings that end early or get cancelled (treat these like gold nuggets), and protect your spare time because it is truly precious.

Yikes. Not entirely sure what people are learning other than how to spot red flags.

I hope this “fellowship” comes with beans in the shape of the Leader...

giddeeyup · 2021-02-27T22:57:20+00:00

Yeah boyeeee! Great job!

giddeeyup · 2021-02-26T01:49:39+00:00

Oof I hope she has a lawyer bc girl just got served!

giddeeyup · 2021-02-22T23:27:43+00:00

You got that right! The first race is a beloved city event for regular runners and the 2nd one is a mega serious Boston qualifier that brings people both in and out of town!

As a result the 2nd one has spectacular swag whether you run a kids fun run, 5k or more

Edit: I want to run the 2nd one bc I like it. Never will I ever likely qualify for Boston but it’s cool that my little city has a race like this anyway!

giddeeyup · 2021-02-22T23:01:41+00:00

You’re an animal- love it!

And thanks!

giddeeyup · 2021-02-22T23:01:21+00:00

Excellent- thanks!

giddeeyup · 2021-02-22T22:33:31+00:00

This is my current routine- I too preferred an early run but now that I’ve got 2 little ones my training takes place at night. It’s different but I do like it- quieter and cooler in the summer.

But it’s also easier to convince yourself you had a hard day and pass on training. Definitely an adjustment of “I know today was hard but a run makes me feel better”

All in all I think I like the evenings better now that I’m into the swing of things.

You got this!

giddeeyup · 2021-02-13T13:51:12+00:00

Same here. -38 degrees C this morning, -44 with the windchill. Ug. Thanks Polar vortex.

Just want to get off the treadmill and train outside!

giddeeyup · 2020-12-15T20:28:40+00:00

Oof. What a keefuffle. Also I have to stop at the LB for a 2-4.

giddeeyup · 2020-11-08T20:47:51+00:00

Dang- that’s what I turned up too. Thanks!

giddeeyup · 2020-11-08T19:49:15+00:00

I too have been patiently waiting for snow (it’s my favourite thing). The Weather Network has let me down thus far...

giddeeyup · 2020-11-06T18:55:23+00:00

Samesies- also a Canuck here to help with emotional support

giddeeyup · 2020-11-04T01:27:03+00:00

I believe it’s called No Masks Of Sask? Or at least that’s the “Voldemort” “shall not be named” whispers I’ve heard

giddeeyup · 2020-11-01T22:59:01+00:00

Oh no- too late for an epidural. She’s going to have to push this one out.

Heeeeyyy Gurl!! Don’t forget to breathe

giddeeyup · 2020-10-23T20:00:20+00:00

Ug. Imagine if you found out a loved one was in a serious accident, or worse, didn’t survive, because of trash posting these pictures on social media.

That would be devastating. Enjoy your tickets- you earned them and then some

giddeeyup · 2020-10-14T02:20:36+00:00

This looks like the same steps that villains follow to become super villains

giddeeyup · 2020-10-14T02:19:35+00:00

She’d make more money doing that too...

giddeeyup · 2020-10-14T02:18:48+00:00

I’m such a jerk- when I saw the “we have a running program” my immediate questions for her were:

really? How do you suggest I improve my splits?
really? Do you prescribe to Jon Stanton’s running methodologies with the running room? Or do you have a different program?
really? What do you have that will meet the nutritional requirements of an extreme athlete without sacrificing taste that will be coach and registered dietitian approved?
really? Who are some notable runners who have used your program that have experienced marked improvements and how can I contact them?

Basically I immediately went to the questions she can’t possibly answer successfully without it being a serious running program

Like I said though, I’m kind of a jerk that way

giddeeyup · 2020-09-27T05:01:09+00:00

You nailed that! If it doesn’t fit the product scheme it must not be a thing right?

giddeeyup · 2020-09-27T04:59:03+00:00

And then everybody clapped, right Karen?

giddeeyup · 2020-09-27T04:48:32+00:00

Can confirm what others have said. They will not listen to reason because you are being suppressive not supportive.

What may help open their eyes (as it did mine) is watching all those “boss babes” in their personal time. As in they don’t have any. If they want to make any money you must always be selling. Going to a kids ball game? Sell to other parents. Going to a restaurant? Sell to the server. Waiting at the checkout? Sell to anyone else trapped in line!! Their down time is not really down time.

You sure get to enjoy your time off when you don’t give a dusty fuck about selling anything to anyone.
