(no subject)
long time no update. busy busy busy and then more busy. i've even been going days without reading my friendslist even.
work (with extra detail for KALKAT): deb is gone (she was my supervisor). i've been doing part of her stuff for almost 2 weeks. tomorrow i'll start training the 3rd front desk person in a month while still Invoicing at the same time. this girl better stay up front or i'm going to start screaming. it's all foley's fault. i'll be taking over for kelly in a 2 weeks or so when she has her baby girl. i've been running around like a lunatic for 3 weeks with no signs of it slowing. in some ways it's fun, but i'm just exhausted. thompson's last day was friday. BOGMEL's last day is friday. slossson's leaving in the next month or so. carson hired a consultant to help get the company on track. we filled out surveys about how things are and where we want them to go. mine was 7 full pages of single-spaced, 12 pt text. i really hope things start to change, mainly that foley and gifford get the axe.
marathon training: might. not. happen. FUCK. my left foot is stress fracture gimpy. it doesn't hurt if i stay off of it and don't walk much. i walked to the bank and back a few weeks ago and hurt the rest of the night. i have a 4th follow up on thurs with a 3rd x-ray beforehand. i guess i'm out for 4-6 weeks. i'm guessing by the time i'm clear to run they'll be up to 8-10 miles, which means i probably won't be able to do it if i want a faster time. i'm fuckin sad.
kitties: they're getting along better. mr peterson stopped pissing in my bed. they still fight, but mr peterson doesn't spend all her time in hiding. as bitchy as she can be, aleda can also be a sweetheart (which isn't new). all i know is that when mr peterson cuddles with me, i don't have as many bad dreams. they'd been rather unpleasant for a few weeks when she was locked out of my room at night.
scott: things are really good. they've been really good for months. i just love him so much and feel so grateful to have him in my life. i'm constantly surprized by the kind little things he does that i never saw in my parents' relationship (getting me water if i'm thirsty, etc). it's nice to have a best friend. he might get me a new computer, which i need something fierce, though i won't get my hopes up.
diet: i've been trying to cook more. lots of chili, which makes a good lunch. i'm especially trying to eat better since i can't really exercise. mostly i'm trying to go to the concession stand downstairs less during the day for snacks. ice cream and cookies at home are still a little too much fair game.
bry & rebecca: they are now Mr. and Mrs. Bryan Knight. whoa. they got married in a civil ceremony yesterday. i'm really crushed i wasn't there, though it was only their family in attendance. in the span of a week they bought a 3 bedroom condo in bucktown and sold rebecca's condo. add that to the action they've had going in the past two: makin a baby, getting engaged, married, condo selling and buying. geez. i wish i wasn't so jealous of how well it all seems to be going for them. everything always seems to work out for bry. i dunno. i just want to have a family.
entertainment: i'm really into reading and netflix right now. recommend me some good fiction, people!
