Had Vodafone call me a while back. Unknown caller number, the chirpy girl introduces herself as a Vodafone agent, says she has some things she'd like to talk to me about and asks me my name, DOB, address. I said that I wasn't giving that information to anyone that I couldn't verify, and could she prove that she was from Vodafone. She couldn't and insisted I was missing out on vital information that I would want to hear. I asked was there something wrong with my account, but she said she couldn't say why she was calling until she verified who I was. I said as she had called me, from a masked number, I couldn't verify who I was until she verified who she was - it was a simple matter of security. I even asked was there a number I could call to contact her, but she said it was an "outbound only contact centre" that could not receive calls. I expressed my surprise at Vodafone - one of the world's biggest telephony companies - not having the ability to receive a phone call. We both got bored with the conversation at this stage, so agreed to leave it that neither of us could verify who we were, and we went our separate ways. I'm 99.99% sure she was from Vodafone, and 100% sure she was just flogging something I didn't want, but there's no way they should be let away with that kind of carry on. Using a withheld number for calls like that should be outlawed.
I'm not really sure why they would be telling anyone to wipe down with a towel. There is nothing in the legislation that says you shouldn't use wipes or blue towel (at least in Scotland). In our gym, you are basically just asked to wipe down the equipment and apparatus like you would have done in normal times. Our staff will then give it a deep clean before the next scheduled slots arrive. We've not been too busy in the first week of opening. I think a lot of people are a little wary of returning to the gym especially as we still don't know the full ins and outs of the virus and also because we are seeing a rise in positive cases throughout the country - it is maybe not worth the risk. Also, many people have found that they can exercise just as effectively at home.
I have had some of the darkest "mood swings" due to stress and depression, depending on the severity I've usually stayed offline for days but sometimes weeks and in some cases months as I've locked myself away and refocussed. More often on not I try to rechannel any negative energy into positive by increasing my exercise levels and it usually works.
