And now for something completely different...

BritChick · 11-13-2005, 05:56 PM

I'm typing this up from bed today... sick as a dog!

The good news is I made it through the day yesterday and the show was great!!
We arrived at the theatre at 7am and quickly got to work setting things up for the competitors, papering the floors, putting plastic on the walls and setting up trophy tables etc. It was a fairly large novice show with over 100 competitors and a sold out night show.
I started helping with the figure atheletes when they arrived but soon got shifted over to tan up the bodybuilders. I was literally tanning from 8am - 12pm... my poor little arms and knees were sore by the end of it.
There was one 23 year old heavyweight who made it all worth while though!

Out of 100 competitors only two were a**holes... there always has to be a couple! One of the female masters bb was a know-it-all biatch from hell who constantly whined and complained the whole morning... apparently by the end of the morning she had managed to offend every one of the volunteers backstage, along with the stage manager and MC, not to mention her husband was just as bad and ticking off the judges and show promoters. There was also one overly cocky lightweight bb who was a royal pain in the ass too... unfortunately he won his class so I dare say next year he will be even worse!

Other than that everyone was awesome!!!

Taryn was with me the whole day and did a wonderful job with her routine, she did however make a teensy mistake at the end of the 2 minutes and missed one lift, that threw her off and she panicked and was looking to the side stage where I was trying to get her to just 'keep going!!!', no one would have even known had it not been for the look of terror on her face and how she ran off stage at the end... poor bugger was absolutely crushed and was inconsollable for about 10 mins.
Jen Hendershot is amazing... she took Taryn aside and told her just how wonderful she thought she was and that her lifts were incredibly hard, it was very touching to see her with Taryn right before she was due to go on herself and should have been warming up for her routine.
A bit later Jen presented Taryn with an award for #1 Guest Performer and gave her a signed photo with a personalized message to her.
When I woke Taryn up this morning though she was instantly in tears again, wow... it really had an impact on her but I think this will be a good lesson in the end one that she can take on to her future fitness endeavours.
After the show we all went to hang out at the Boston Pizza for the after party and Taryn gave Jen a BIG hug and thank you goodbye.
Here are a few pics from the day...

Aw sorry to hear that you're sick Kerry, but damn me, you've got a lil star in the making in Taryn.Taking after her 'ol mom.

boilermaker · 11-13-2005, 09:07 PM

BC,

Congratulations on the successful show. I'm sure you are very proud of your girl. She should be proud too, just for being able to share the stage with a pro like that. And I'm sure she will be.............probably just take some time.

For it to truly work you need to find one with the personality of a third degree burn, have a kid or two with them and then watch them turn into a fully fledged heroin addict, make sure they have no sense of responsibility towards the kids and do drugs around them and feel no responsibility for any of their actions and someone who also believes they are a complete victim of life... then top that off with a really flavoured mouthy attitude and have them threaten you with lawsuits just because they know it will break your bank and they won't have to pay because they are a bum and you'll be set!

Okay... I guess I'm still a tad pissed... maybe I should go lift again! lol

My low back and I are at war today! lol

Morning MM, thanks for stopping by.

Ugh... okay well I guess my immune system didn't much appreciate last nights workout, I thought I was on the mend but apparently it was the calm before the storm.

Day off for me today... time to go Christmas shopping!

Burner02 · 11-16-2005, 10:14 AM

...and people wonder why I have not ever been married...

Lower back? Nothing a lil Motrin can't cure...and a massage...in a hot tub..

Dealing with the Telus strike

They had to do an emergency reorg to keep things running ... so I went from my office job to installing/repairing phone service. During the summer, it's a great job. Now that winters here, it's not so great. But I'm working inside again.

I haven't had a chance to catch up, but it sounds as though you are doing well.

How was the Olympia? Did you meet many others from IM?

Burner02 · 11-16-2005, 12:12 PM

hey NT! U still doing those Pull Ups w/ BW+100+lbs???

naturaltan · 11-16-2005, 12:34 PM

haven't since this strike has my schedule really twisted. I'm not able to go on a constant basis ... although I'm hoping that will change in the next week after the next vote by the union.

Burner02 · 11-16-2005, 12:54 PM

good...so if I am more consisstant...i may actaully gain on you then...

BritChick · 11-16-2005, 03:15 PM

Here's my li'l superstar in action!

NT - It's been a lonnnnnng strike for Telus workers, glad to hear you've been keeping busy though and get to stay warm now the weathers getting a bit nipply!

Burner... marraige isn't so bad! lol
I just need to learn to check resumes first!!!!!!!!!

naturaltan · 11-16-2005, 03:24 PM

What a sweetie!! Taking right after mom. Hopefully you have the shotgun all shined up and in plain view for the rush of young men that will soon come a knock'in.

Ten Simple Rules for Dating My Daughter
Rule One
If you pull into my driveway and honk, you better be delivering a package because you're sure not picking anything up.

Rule Two
Do not touch my daughter in my presence. You may glare at her adoringly, so long as you do not peer at anything below the neck. If you cannot keep your eyes or hands off my daughter I will remove them.

Rule Three
I am aware that it is considered fashionable for boys your age to wear their trousers so loosely that they appear to be falling off of your hips. Please don't take this as an insult, but you and all of your friends are idiots. If you show up at my home with your pants falling down I will be forced to ensure that they do not come off during the course of your date with my daughter by taking my electric staple gun and fastening the pants directly to your waist.

Rule Four
I'm sure you've been told that sex in today's world without a "barrier device" can kill you. Let me elaborate: I am the barrier, and I will kill you.

Rule Five
Current thinking is that in order for you and me to get to know each other, we should talk politics, sports, and other issues. Do not do this. Your ignorance and stupidity will only serve to anger me. The only information I require of you is when you will have my daughter home. To this end, you only need two words: "early" and "sir."

Rule Six
I have no doubt that you are a popular fellow, with opportunities to date other girls. This is fine with me as long as it's okay with my daughter. Otherwise, once you've gone out with my little girl you will continue to date no one but her until she is finished with you. If you make her cry, I will make you cry harder.

Rule Seven
As you stand in my hallway waiting for my daughter to appear, do not sigh and fidget. If you want to be on time you should not be dating my daughter. She is doing her hair, putting on make-up, or whatever; a process that can take longer than painting the Golden Gate Bridge. Instead of just standing there, why don't you do something useful, like change the oil in my car.

Rule Eight
The followin
