Dumb Ish
I love my owwie icon, even when it is caused from me massive headdesking due to my own stupidity.
For some god-forsaken reason, yesterday I thought it would be a good idea to sign up for the Fitness Challenge program at my workplace? WHY?! *additional headdesk* Because I thought it'd be good to keep up with the fitness while it's too cold out to run? NO! Bad, bad, stupid Ish! Garfield would be so disappointed in me.
Anyways, today I do the body fat/blood pressure/heart rate analysis thing that you do to start with. See, the program is based on over-all fitness, so it's not a weight thing. Which is good except that it requires I actually work out. Yuck. The program requires 20-30 minutes of constant activity 3 days a week, either in the company fitness room or on your own. Every two weeks you submit an activity log and are entered for a prize drawing. Then at the end of the Challenge in April, everyone who's finished the program is submitted into a drawing for a $100 Dicks Sporting Goods gift certificate. Also, whoever's improved the most (won't be me!) gets one too.
>_< Fitness ba~ad. But I guess we're more or less obliged to give it a try now, at least for the first two weeks.
In other news, I leave Sunday to head down to NYC for my JET interview. I'll be staying in Brooklyn, if anyone's interested in meeting up Monday-ish. (The interview is super-early Tuesday morning.)
Sadly, it looks like I'll be going down alone. My one friend has classes, and the other doesn't think she can get off of work. Personally, I think she should just flip them off and apply for a new job anyways. She works at K-Mart, and they cut her hours down from 5 days to 3, then didn't give her any the past two weeks, AND told her they won't know if she'll be off Monday and Tuesday until this Thursday which is BS. There's no reason they can't give her those days off when they create the schedule and then give her hours the rest of the week; they're just being assholes and trying to fuck with her. My mother bitched at me for telling my friend this, saying I was being selfish and I shouldn't have told her any of that which in turn pissed me off. Honestly, yeah, I want her to go with me. It's a lot more fun wandering around Manhattan if you've got a friend with you than alone. But ALSO what they're doing to her is bullshit and I've expressed that before. God forbid I try and help a friend and offer advice my mother doesn't like. GRR! The worst thing? My mom agrees with me, but has issues with the fact I actually told my friend what I thought. The hell?
*coughs* But yes. NYC. Sunday-Tuesday. Danielle? Hunter? If you're busy, no problem but I figured I'd check!
