turned mine into a coat rack...
I turned mine into $250 after the coat rack conversion.
It's probably got clothes hanging on it again by now.

That’s hysterical.so this is what gyms are going to look like? No thanks.
Jeez . The virtual phone interviewing is not going well for me at all.
I had 2 virtual phone interviews on different apps that absolutely suck using on my phone.
poor reception and I can’t seem to find a good place to do them .
I thought my apartment would be great Because it’s been so quite lately. But the day of my interview a new tenant moved in below leaving their howling and crying dog to completely destroy the background in my phone.
So I figured play it safe and next time I will do the interview in my car! That turned out even worse! It was so hot in the car that after about 40 minutes the power it took for the app to work On my phone And it was so freakin hot outside and in the car it got so hot the call got dropped and My phone went into over heating emergency mode . And went dead . I couldn’t even call back to explain . I left a email but never heard back, which is fine anyway because they were Assholes.
much to my surprise the howling dog interview people seemed very interested and asked for references . Fingers crossed !!!!!!

I use mine often but I started weight training at 13, got strong and all. Been working on light resistance for years now. Limiting factors for me are my arthritis hands. Try to stay in reasonable shape, I do 100 full kneebends every morning also and walk most days which is a real workout here.
Love the smoothness of that Bowflex, had benches and at one time, a full Olympic set of weights.
Must be a lot of “coat racks” out there.

Are they any good... like consistent resistance? I never tried one. Last year I sold our elliptical machine and stationary bike to fund turning our spare bedroom back into a guest bedroom. It looks really nice but now we can't have any guests and we don't have any workout equipment.
That sucks, Did you at least have the a/c running the car? hopefully the howling dog interview pans out for you. Are you planning on staying local or is a move still on the radar for you?

I did a few virtual interviews. I hated them. If there was more than one person I couldn't tell who was talking, and you can't see their body language. You also have zero ability to judge a working environment.
I did end up getting a job though. All remote also so far, and the ceo is getting frustrated at the lack of face to face discussions. He wants to be able to white board everything, but will only do voice calls via skype (he won't even use a virtual pen). So I guess we will all have to risk reduced social distancing at some point soon for some retreat time......
My rule of thumb, the stupider they are the more you need a respirator with P100 and eye protection.

I started with the a/c on and got started with the assistant logging on but the interviewer was 20 minutes late! Then when she logged on the reception was so bad I had to disconnect from car speaker phone and then got worried about turning the car back on because my phone would go directly to car speaker again! So the A/c was off for like 30 minutes before both the phone overheated. I was also overheating but the interview was winding down and I was asking my questions and I knew I could make it. They were such assholes. I was thinking about hanging up even before the interview started because she was so fucking late. It’s for the best really because it isn’t where I should be headed anyway . But the howling dog interview would get us FINALLY back to the East coast where we Are from fit in much better. So it’s a big move half way across the country .Are they any good... like consistent resistance? I never tried one.

Republican Gov. Greg Abbott repeatedly dismissed concerns over the virus to reopen the state’s economy. And now that cases are spiking, he’s shifting blame to residents.

Wow! That’s crazy. I am in healthcare and this location is in NY so it should be real interesting . There were 2 people in the interview wearing masks. And the other one was at home and the other one In an office but disappeared half way through Lol. The masked interviewers appeared to be Wearing N95 masks so that looked good but it was so freaking bizarre. And having 4 people on my little phone screen was a joke. I couldn’t see shit plus I decided not to wear my glasses either for fun so my face was really up close on their screen So I could try to see and hear them. If I don’t get this job I’m Seriously thinking about bagging this shit And wait to look for another job till till after the vaccine Because it’s toO fucked up right now . And I have 2 weeks until my lease is up then will have to renew or find another place in town. I don’t want to skip town without another job right now there are 2 many variables and uncertainties .

It’s ok, please don’t be sad. Everything will be ok. But I Did forgot Or more like left out something else that happened during the barking dog interview that was totally fucked up. And I’m not sure if they heard it on the other end. I am thinking I got lucky and they didn’t because she never ever would have sent a nice email to me after the interview.

Oh shit. Lol. I just came back to delete that post.
but it’s too late. I will tell you.
my husband had been dealing with the howling dog all day alone in the apt before I came home to do the interview.
he isn’t a big drinker but the stress was too much for him so he thought getting some beer would help calm him down and ease his nerves. Unfortunately it made everything worse. about the middle of the interview I heard some very loud yelling and screaming in the other room. He had called the leasing office and ripped them a new asshole about the dog and getting the dog out and calling the police if they didn’t get the dog out. I had know idea what was going on in the other room. IT sounded like he was going to beat the fuck out of someone and I was trying to keep cool like it wasn’t happening and they couldn’t hear on the other end of the phone.

I had to google and see how warm it is there
I can't believe you were in a hot car with no a/c for thirty minutes. NY is awesome, I love it and I hope you get the position. Would you be in NYC? It's seriously expensive, but an amazing place to live and you get to be close to your family in NJ. Do you expect to have an answer before your lease is up?

Lol, yes it gets way too hot here. Way way to hot. I was sweating bullets. I would be in upstate NY but easy drive into Jersey, Philly and a cheap direct bus into the city. Yes I expect to have an answer by next week which is perfect timing before I have to give notice at the end of the month.I had to google and see how warm it is there
