I have awful handwriting.  Anything I write by hand ends up looking like a third grader who has only learned half of the alphabet in cursive has written it.  No, that actually might be doing my handwriting a favor.  If the third grader was also going through withdrawal shakes, that’s my handwriting.

So when I write something that needs to be legible, I have to write very slowly, in huge all caps block letters.

About three weeks ago, my gym put out a sign up sheet for free personal training sessions.  There were a bunch of options like boot camp, core conditioning, etc.  I signed up for the weight loss one because who wouldn’t want to lose weight for free one-on-one with a trainer?  Wanting to be sure the gym could contact me, I wrote my name and contact information in my large, deliberate font.

I walked by the sign up sheet today and noticed that after three weeks, I was the only person to sign up for the weight loss option.  So basically, there’s a sheet of paper on the desk of my gym that says “I’m Interested in Weight Loss: JULIE KRAUT” and it’s legible from across the room.

All fantasies of me ever making out with my gym’s card swipe guy with the shaved head have been cancelled until further notice.
