You don't mind if I stand here naked and talk to you about work, do you?

I have been reading things on here for awhile now and finally have something to post. My office building has a gym. It's a really nice gym with a big locker room. As such, lots of people spend mornings down there. Well since I work with some of the people, I'm pretty discreet about cleaning up. I work out, I go to the locker room, shower and dress as fast as I can so I don't weird people out. What I mean is, I don't walk around naked knowing i have to shake hands with these people later. It's called respect! Anyway my boss was telling me he just turned 50 and wants to get in shape. So I told him in passing about the great gym we have. He asked me what time I go down there and naturally I told him. Well this morning he showed up in a hysterical workout outfit straight out of the 80's (yes, spandex) and began working out right beside me, talking business the whole time. When I was done, he followed me into the locker room, showered right next to me, and then proceeded to talk about an assignment he wanted me to do COMPLETELY NAKED! I wouldn't look him in the eye, and he must have taken that as humbleness or something because he said "Jim, now look at me...I mean this...you're the man for the job". So help me, I almost passed out. Maybe its a generational thing...or I dunno...but I feel like I've been violated.

ICK! I know it's easy to say looking back, but maybe you should have offered him a towel.

I workout with some guys from work. One day after my workout I was heading to the shower... Four of my co-workers were in the 4-man hot tub.... All of them naked mind you. They hollared for me to join them.... Me being a fifth man in the FOUR man tub....all men. No thanks.

I honestly would have except he was holding his and using it to gesture. If it happens again I decided I am going to say something. I am just hoping against hope that this working out thing will lose its novelty for him.
