Ok, prepare yourself...As usual, Mondays suck. I got to work and had a tempestuous day. I was there until about 8:30PM attempting to do the things my boss wants me to do. She is super doped up on meds because of her spinal cord issues and she forgets what she wants done. Sometimes she'll ask you to do contradictory things (like today) where you end up doing something, only to have to undo it. She's killing me slowly. On top of that, the office is in turmoil because so many people have either left, switched positions or been out for surgeries. It's so hard to keep up and getting everything done. I guess it probably like that most places but I haven't felt this crazy at work for some time.
Then, to top it all off, they somehow found out that I received a call from a research group trying to contract me for my insights into the Farm and Ranch industry. I obviously can't participate as I'm considered an insider for the company I work for. It made them suspicious and they started grilling me about how they got ahold of me and why. I told them I had a resume online and they must have gotten my contact info there. Then they were like, "why do you have a resume out...are you looking?" I had to tell them that I always keep one out there for opportunities that my arise. They seemed a litte miffed or something. What business is it of theirs? Anyway, I don't know if that hurts any chances of promotion or what but they should be happy that I didn't say anything and kept my loyalties to the company...dang it!
Personal drama at home has diminished slightly...to know favorable result. I won't go on about that as my friends have heard enough and I won't subject them to my indecisiveness. At any rate, I'm really tired. I need another vacation!
I took my second steps towards losing my fat ass. I went around the block twice today at work. It's a fairly challenging walk around the block...lots of steep inclines plus I walked with people that I almost have to walk twice as fast as to keep up (darned short legs.) My calves and shins are killing me but the rest of me feels good that I burned some calories. I've also been eathing fairly healthy...mostly fish, chicken and veggies and soup. Hopefully nothing will take me out of my new found routine. I'm in a friendly contest of "The Biggest Loser." The goal is to lose 12% of our body weight by July...for me that is 28 pounds (yes, I'm heavy) which equals out to about a pound a week. I think I can do it. Root for me! Ok, need to go to bed. Loves.
