A new day
Well, V-day is over, and all is returning to normal. I'm definately less grumpy today. Had a brief attack this morning when I came in and saw that everything was put back wrong, and most everything was left unplugged. I know that I was kind of expecting it, but it still annoyed me enough to do a little cussing.
Some people from Corporate Services came up and put most everything back, so at least it wasn't left up to me. Although if it had been, I would have just called IS and told them that they should do it so that I wouldn't mess anything up.
Tonight is a company function, so no working out. I found out this morning that it's business dress, not business casual, so I'm going to be slightly underdressed. But screw it, no one has a clue who I am, and they won't remember me long enough to get me fired...hopefully.
Last night's workout was ok. I learned one of the forms that I need to know for the next TKD belt test, even though it'll be a while before I actaully need to know it. There was only me and one other student there (Sylvia, her two sons train in the kid's class) which is why we worked on Pumse (forms).
Jujitsu was ok. We learned a new throw that was really interesting, if not somewhat impracticle. Derrek was the only other student there for the first hour, so I was teamed up with him for the night. He's ok, slightly hevier set than I am. But he roots himself in everything that he does, so it makes it hard for me to do moves to practice against him. Meaning that I don't get as much done as I would like. I got paired up with Kathryn the night before, and she has the problem of trying to get away whenever a move starts. For both of them it's a matter of an overactive self-preservation reflex. Neither one of them wants to get hurt so badly, that they will keep someone from doing the drill. It gets a little annying when I have to team up with people who do these kinds of things. Every once in a while it's ok, but when it starts to happen on a regular basis I'd almost be better off not being there. Because, if I can't complete a move, I'm only learning to do it halfway (or less) which builds bad habits...wow I've started to rant, backing off now.
But yeah, that just kind of added to my frustrations of the day.
But like I said, it's a new day, and things are going ok, and I get free Crab Cakes tonight...yum.
