April Fool

Yesterday at work at the Y Will G comes in, I haven't seen him for a long time. I know him from watching his boy in child watch. Anyways I said hello and I had not seen him he goes yeah I just got signed up again but I have a question for you. Ok . . . He had a kitchen size garbage bag full of towels from the Y and he said, I brought these back - great! I am wondering if since it's a dollar for an xtra towel, can I get a dollar for each one of these I am returning? They are all clean and stuff . . . Well I said, you will have to talk with Eric, there is nothing I can do about that. Well I washed them and they are all clean and good. Yeah, I can smell they are clean but you are gonna have to talk to Eric. I told him wait a minute and i walked into Bryan's office (Easton was sitting in there too and they both heard the conversation) I said to Bryan, you need to come here and hear this. So Bryan comes out and Will goes through the speel again. All of a sudden here comes Amy around the corner and I knew I had been got again! What is it with her and the towels!??!?!?

I laughed so hard!!!! Will could hardly hold it together. So I said to Bryan, we need to call Eric down! This was too good to pass up. Bryan could not figure out how to get Eric to come down so I went to the phone, dialed his extension and when he answered i said I have a member who has a question about the towels can you come down. Sure I will be right there. Now, mind you we get crazy requests like this a lot so it's not out of the ordinary to get members who want crazy favors.

So Eric comes down and Will starts in again, he could not even look Eric in the eyes or he would give it all away. He told us before I called Eric that Eric had just helped him get his membership back and he didn't not want to mess that up. . .  so Eric patiently listens to Will and says yeah, thanks for returning the towels but I really can't give you any money for them. Bryan is in lost and found and I am making popcorn but had to go into Bryan's office because I was laughing . . . Eric is trying to explain why this is not possible and trying to be super nice. . . finally I told Eric April Fool!! His face turned bright red and he started laughing! He was got good too just like me. When I told him it was Amy he said I am going back there and talk to her. When he went into childwatch he told Amy she was fired! What a trickster Amy is! She told me it was because I asked her if she had lost an earring I said oh no you had this schemed up way before that!!!!

Part of the reason I really like my job at the Y - I work with some amazing funny people - all the bad times pale in comparison to the fun we have there.
