once again TGIFF
Not a typo there.... I'm going to put the crux of this under a cut, because really this has been the longest week of my life - work wise and diet wise. And it's about as exciting to most people as gnats mating....
Diet Wise:
Today I seriously wanted some Mexican food. I was craving it like no other. I ALMOST broke down and got some for lunch. Instead I went to Subway and got the Club (which is well within my dietary range and considered good). I then went to the grocery store and got lean ground beef, 2% cheese, and low sodium taco mix. I kept the normal taco shells. What the hell - I need something, right? The tacos were good and I have passed the worst craving in my freaking diet career. I'm a little behind schedule because someone (ME) doesn't like to exercise (POO) but I'd say I'm about 23-25 pounds lighter at next weigh in.
I need some thinspiration (as Marissa calls it) but there's none to be had. I have NO motivation to continue with this, even with the scale going down. I don't eat anything bad for me, I make my food choices automatically now. I suspect that in the next few weeks I may have to either a) buy myself SOMETHING!!!! or b) make some protein pudding which might fake me out into thinking I am eating chocolatey fatness when in reality I am eating something along my diet. Hell, I know in the next 2 weeks I am going to have to shop. Scrap one bad habit, add another.
What I do in my spare time wise:
I've spent the last 4 hours on Yahoo Answers answering computer related questions. I cannot believe how the average user there types/spells. I also cannot believe that people ask such crappy questions when there's Google right at your fingertips. Is the ability to use a search engine a special skill now? Maybe I am jaded. Even with the bad questions there's even worse answers. I'm sure they are answered in the best of intentions but ... well.. I'm going to sound like an elitist asshole or 'queen of computar marchenes' if I finish off that sentence... so I won't.
Work Wise:
Work's been draining. Not like my old job, more of an intellectual drain. I get a different feeling from my boss than I had a few months ago. A few months ago I felt like she wondered what I do or what I know. But after the last few things I've dealt with (mainly things that she didn't understand: DNS, domain squatters, ICANN, etc) she's pretty much decided that I'm 'cool' and if left alone - I do my job and that's it.
I do have a problem. Our budget + new servers + our server room security. They want to put the copier in the server room until construction is done on the building. Well, I do NOT like that. Plus, we are about to embark on a serious server room. I mean like Telcom + racks + everything else. We need to get the proper surrounding equipment. I guess I can bring it up. More money spent == less money for my bonus *sigh*.
I'm not offended if you don't read inside the cut. I can sum it up in one sentence. I need a life. Srsly.
