I am sad to say, Montana, but this was a mind game from both sides
and you have probably written more into this then there actually was.
You're not helping yourself by going to the gym where you knew
beforehand that you'd have to cross path with his department and
have interaction with his superior.
If you want to do yourself a favor, you should stop any possible
interaction from your side including the gym. You don't want to
come across as too needy.
I think you're wrong and as far as the gym goes, I always intended on using that gym since my first day at work, when they showed it to me and I only waited this long to use it because I wasn't comfortable enough with my surroundings yet to get going. I also wasn't aware that I could use the gym that late at night, until I asked our safety instructor during a safety meeting the other night.
Believe me, I don't come off as needy to him at all and if going to the gym makes me come off that way, then I say "I could care less"!
I'm going to the gym for me, and I'd be willing to bet that he knows this.
He sees how I work when I'm blowing off steam and he knows me well enough to know that I'm just blowing off some more.
He's a smart guy and since I'm the one who stopped looking his way, he knows I'm not doing it for him.
He may think I'm doing it in spite of him, though
He also knows that I wasn't thrill about going through the metal shop to report to the super, so I came up with an idea that will fix that and il be talking to the super on Monday night to tell him that from now on, when I go to the gym, I'll put a piece of white paper on door going out the building and I'll just take it off when I leave :-D
Gym problem solved. I had a good workout in the gym the other night and I had almost forgotten how much I missed it.
I slept like a baby that night, which was a nice change.
