So I told work this week. It went pretty smoothly. It is interesting to see how people react. All reactions were postive just varying ranges of excitement. I've already been given way too much advice or should I say recaps of how different people's pregnancy were. My favorite, "well you know I only gained 15 pds when I was pregnant.
I wonder this abstractly. If I have a really awful April does that mean that May will be better? That I will be taking the showers earn the flowers?
I almost walked out of work today. Not quiting just saying I couldn't take it any more. Things were going wrong left and right. My brain hurt, not my head, my brain. I couldn't think straight.
A few hours working with my door closed help some, but boy I am glad it is Friday.
I need to figure out a vacation to take this summer. Even if it is just a week off of work without turning on my computer.
Sorry for the lack of blogs on this site, I have been running alot lately and those posts are on my training blog if anyone is interested in reading them.
Life is going well, Work still sucks, but it wouldn't be work if it wasn't work I guess.
I will try to write more here as I think about it.
I finished the book Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult, I reserved if from the library since I enjoyed her previous book My Sister's Keeper. The book is about a shooting at a high school . Weird thing is I got it from the library the Sunday before the Virginia Tech shooting. Eerie, I know. Anyway I recommend the book, it is good in that it follows the all the perspectives of what happens after a school shooting and how bullying effects people . That being said, I should mention though that I have always liked this type of book, books about trama, death,dying. I am not sure why, but I went through a phase in high school where I read fiction books about kids with cancer and other books. I know weird, ask my mom though its true.
Ok not really, but given recent comments of "loud walking" maybe I should be. I am still peeved by the whole situation. I have started to look at new apartments at least to see what else is out there.
My boss leaves on Friday, so I am waiting for the final shakeout of who does what in the office now that someone is moving into his position leaving us 2 positions short again. I have the potential to benefit from this or get screwed over. We will await the outcome.
Was going to run at the gym this morning, but ended up doing a home workout tape this morning. (sure my neighbors enjoyed that). Running outside was not an option as the temperature was 7 this am and is only 18 now. I hope to run at the gym tomorrow morning.
In other news, I did manage to work out 6 of the 7 days last week for a total of 250 minutes last week.
Yesterday I did two workouts, one walking at midday at the gym, and then cardio afterwork at the gym.
I am trying my hardest to have a positive outlook on the going's on at work. I used my frustration and stress to power clean the apartment. It hasn't looked this spiffy in ages. I also did 3 loads of laundry.
I have been trying to run outside, without much luck. It has been too snowy/icy. I ran 1.6 miles on Sunday in the sleet and freezing rain. It wasn't pleasant, but there is something about running that relaxes me. I am going to try tomorrow to run on the treadmill, hopefully it will feel better then it normally does.
I stayed up too late yesterday watching the oscars. I am glad Jennifer Hudson won, and Forest Whitaker as well, wish it had been shorter..much shorter.
I went to a baby shower on Saturday that seemed more like a wedding then a shower in terms of size and decoration. crazy.
I am hoping that I can make time to read this week as I more then a few good books on my to-read list.
Started looking at spring race schedule, trying to figure out which races I should run.
I am very glad it is Friday. I am feeling a general sense of dread now about the changes that are coming up at work. The replacement for the person who is leaving is someone who doesn't pull her own weight and I have a feeling it is going to be a rough few months. I am seriously looking for another job, I have to...I don't really know if I can really deal with this anymore.
I feel compelled to drink something alcoholic and fruity. or to get a tattoo..... just kidding sort of .
Its Friday so I need to think of something else besides work..i'm trying.
I try not to write about work often, because when I do it always turns into a complaint fest, but I just have to pose this question.
How is it that some people can get away with doing the bare minimum, leave early, come in late, delegate all their work, run a side business from their office and yet get praised for being a good employee?
Luckily, said employee will hopefully be moving to an office where she can't close her door and slack off, and maybe just maybe her true worth or lack there of will be brought to light.
It is almost 10 am here. I am at work, along with 2 other people . I had to be here before 8 so phone lines could be open at 8am. In my pedestrian filled college town, there were no other pedestrians out this morning. They have all gone home. It was very foggy and slightly errie.
I have been very productive this morning , doing work of those on vacation who I don't even really like. I am being a good samariatan. Must be the Christmas spirit or sheer boredom.
I am tired. I didn't go to bed until 12:30, UPS came last night and that meant I had 15 presents to wrap and I still had to finish packing. We are hopefully leaving tonight for my parents.
We opened our Christmas presents last night. I know I know its not Christmas, but we usually exchange gifts on the 23rd and we won't be here then. or tonight really either so last night it was.
I got a lot of cool hello kitty items, a nike workout outfit and the new Milkman line from Philosophy. It smells just like chocolate.
Work has been super busy this week, which has limited my time to blog. Yes I blog from work, doesn't everyone. Anyway we have two big events this week and that means I am working this weekend. Luckily it is only for a few hours and its OT so i can't complain too much.
I am hoping to go to the gym after work. I haven't been since before the wedding and feel like a slacker.
The weather here is cold and rainy which makes me want to crawl in bed.
