It’s just about 7 PM and I’ve been here in the office since 10 AM, so I have put in a full day. I’m not done and I will have to come back tomorrow, but I feel good about the progress I made (and bad about having lost a Saturday). I’m about to head home.…
I was up at 7:30 this morning, headed up to IHOP for breakfast, and from there I headed into the office (yes, on a Saturday) to get some work done that I need to have completed before Monday. I’m hoping to be done with everything that I need to do by 3 PM, at which…
Lunch time on Wednesdays are often my favorite because it is during lunch on Wednesday that we crest the hill that is the work week, and begin our slide down the downhill side. I’ve always been confused about the exact moment that the week is half over. Here is how I break it down. There…
I had a really lazy evening last night, sitting around catching up on various episodes of TV shows, when I could have been finishing up a final draft or working on one of the 4 other stories I’ve got going. The kitchen could use some cleaning too, but I chose to be lazy instead. I…
Two more signs that I am just too damn busy these days. First, I was up at 4:30 AM this morning, as usual, and into the office by 5:40 AM. However, once I got up here, I hesitated to go to the gym for my cardio workout because I thought I might be able to…
Busy, busy, busy! It’s been busy at work the last few days with no immediate end in sight, although my meeting schedule is a bit more forgiving tomorrow, with only 3 hours of meetings, and then, finally! a long weekend! I was beat when I headed home last night, and when I turned into my…
I had one of my very rare cravings for candy tonight and since it is my free-day, I went out and got a 1 pound bag of Skittles and promptly consumed half the bag. Now I feel gross! My tongue and cheeks hurt from all of the sugar. I need better self-control… I’m off to…
I went out with a bunch of people after work last night for an extended happy hour. We started at Champps, at around 4:30 PM. Sometime around 9 PM or so, we headed over to Ragtime over in Roslyn. We spent another few hours there and before I knew it, it was past 11:30. I…
When I arrived at work this morning, the entrance to the mall via the metro was closed due to some construction. I had to use the main building entrance. At 5:30 AM, you have to “badge-in” to the building. In other words, you can’t get in without using your electronic badge. I did this and…
Yesterday was a busy day at work and I barely had time to update the blog let alone finish all I had on my plate in the office. In fact, I didn’t even leave the office until 6 PM, which is unheard of for me these day. (But there are other people who have it…
The temperature has dropped since I got up three hours ago. Factoring in the wind chill, the temperature outside is now -2 degrees! The high today is expected to be 18. (Someone was telling me in a meeting yesterday that it was in the 80’s in So Cal over the weekend. That’s the tough part…
I’ve entered into one of those busy phases at work where things keep piling on, no matter how much it seems that you get done. In the last couple of weeks, I finished up a significant project only two have two other projects hurled at me, both of which are, of course, on tight deadlines.…
