I did my personal best on my run last night, which I'm pretty happy with, i made 3.2km in 20:29! It's still quite slow, but considering I was doing that distance in about 24 mins 2 - 3 months ago, I think I've come quite a way. I'm finding it so much easier to breathe now too, Brett even commented that I seemed a lot less out of breathe yesterday when I finished than normal. So I've gone from falling over at the end to holding a breathy conversation afterwards. hooray! I think I probably could have even kept going yesterday, which is a first. maybe being angry makes you run faster? I felt much better about stuff after my run that's for sure.
On the work front, I decided i wasn't going to take this crap lying down, so I emailed my boss this morning stating why i wanted to keep doing the extra work they gave me. mostly i want to keep doing it, because i've been changing and developing the position, and i want to finish that development. once i've turned a job that used to take someone 3 days a week to do (with nothing else on their plate), into a job that takes potentially 2 hours a week at the most (seriously), then someone else can do it. I actually like making things more efficient. It bothers me when stuff is being done a long time consuming and costly way. It'd be great if I could go into business consulting or something, I think i'd be pretty damn good at it. it could be Victoria's Business nightmares or something, and i would gleefully fire all those hopeless office admins, who can't work out which end of the stapler the staples go in.
So anyway, I said i was a touch peeved about people thinking private conversations were my bosses business. I didn't get a reply on that front, but i do get to keep doing the extra boring work and not being thanked for it. At least I will be busy.
Tonight Brett and i are going to my friend Jodie's birthday dinner, and she's bringing pictures of her last ultrasound with her to show me. She's having a boy, and i'm very excited about it. She already has a gorgeous gorgeous little girl who i love to bits, and now she'll have a pair!
I'm so glad we all get 4 days off.
*rasises glass* cheers!
