Considerate gym-maid

First of all, I am only awake now b/c it's the only time I can work on the article I need to write for the Jewish Action. Which of course, I am procrastinating writing right now anyway. I need to share what happened at the gym b/c it was so surprising. It's really not all that interesting though, so don't get excited. I was on the elliptical, after a rough run on the treadmill, when I see a man come in all the way at the front of the gym. He talks to the woman at the desk for a minute, and then she comes all the way back to the elliptical, to me. She came to tell me he was the exterminator and he just needed to walk by the main gym to get to the basement, and did I want to go get "covered up" or was it okay to just tell him not to look that way? How considerate, no?

On another note, Mendy and I were driving back from his parents on Sunday night and we saw a sign just before the GWB that was confusing. (GWB = George Washington Bridge) It said "Commercial traffic upper level only". At first I understood this to mean that I was not allowed to use the upper level of the bridge because I was not commercial traffic. Mendy said, however, that because p=q, this does not imply that q=p or something like that. So we took the upper level and no one made us do a commercial. I think, however, that I could do NY a service by editing their traffic signs. I am surely not the only one who was confused by this.
