Even my assistants are creative 5-20-11

Down here at my Sarasota workout studio, I have a different system than I did in Grosse Pointe. In Grosse Pointe, I had a total of 11 trainers...the majority of whom were part-time. Down here, I only have 4 trainers, and two of them are part-time. How do I service my clientele effectively with only 4 trainers? Simple. I also employ 4 assistants. It is the job of my assistants to change weights and settings on the machines, supervise warmup sets with clients, clean the equipment, stock the cooler, vaccuum up when the cleaning lady cannot, wash my cars, walk the dog during the day...etc, etc. My assistants enable me to work out up to 4 clients at a time very effectively. They are young and I can pay them less than a trainer, because it is still a much better job than they could score otherwise. Even talented young people are often underpaid in Florida. Whenever I place an ad, I average 6 responses per hour! One of my assistants, a very perky young lady named Drew, was traveling to the beach yesterday and took a pic of herself with her cell phone...by pointing it at her boyfriends sunglasses! This should be hanging in the Louvre, don't you agree?
The young lady is 23 years old.
I don't know the age of the guy wearing
the shades.
