Testing from work

Thu, 10 Aug 2023 11:54:14 -0700

not sure if this will work or get me fired

Back At it

Fri, 03 Feb 2023 08:37:42 -0800

Didn't make it to the gym this morning but have been back at the Elliptical this week.

It's been a pretty rough week actually. Layoffs at work. And while not as drastic as at other companies still kinda unsettling. This seems to have been something that could have been avoided. It definitely could have been handled quite a bit better than it was.

The official reasons given don't actually pass the sniff test. Leads to some bad feelings from employees, and a broken trust. That isn't going to get fixed any time soon. I expect there to be some longer term repercussions from the move. Sadly, they will just call it "Quiet Quitting" and not recognize it for the giant fuck up that it was. Would love to see the results of this weeks Peakon Employee Surveys. I'm sure they are full of some great insights. This is the first time that I considered joining Blind for the current employer to see what people were saying. I just don't think I could take that amount of negativity.

I am a Dark Acadamician now, we all are

YouTube is convinced I am just the right person to listen to Dark Academia play lists. Not gonna lie. The thumbnail of LoFi girl is starting to look pretty upset.

Sigh, Back to the grind. Cecilia went back to school yesterday. Very early. In the office today. meh

Like the Big Tuna says, Keep your head down!

Fri, 13 Jan 2023 08:28:15 -0800

Man this has been a week of slack. Need to get my act together and get to the gym

Getting the sense of what might have possibly helped speed up the burnout my manager was feeling. Could be an interesting year.

And pardon me if I don't understand this clearly but in the economic world we are seeing a year of record profits fueled by fears of recession because everyone currently has a job(or two) and they expect to get paid. Which puts those profits in jeopardy...

sigh, it's hard to get the hang of Thursdays

Thu, 12 Jan 2023 08:35:31 -0800

Ok Next week is back to the gym. I suspect that will be enough time for the resolutioneers to be gone early in the morning.

sigh, the middle is always a chore

Wed, 11 Jan 2023 08:10:10 -0800

No workout. Just not able to get up and go in the mornings. Need to fix that. May go for a walk at lunch. Scale is coming back to reality though so that's nice

Write Right? Right?

Tue, 27 Dec 2022 10:21:52 -0800

rainy morning no gym. Will try to ride the bike later. Heading to San Jose to go to a stationery store in the fancy mall. Then who knows.

The Potatoes are Always Worth It

Mon, 26 Dec 2022 10:13:11 -0800

Ran 6-6-4 this morning. Not bad after a few days off. Will probably do the elliptical tomorrow and then push for a full mile on wednesday. Holiday eating definitely hit the scale. Worth it.

Not much planned for today. Reading and maybe some writing. I think we're going to the japanese stationery store tomorrow and I can further sink down the fountain pain hole.

this is it!

Thu, 22 Dec 2022 08:19:54 -0800

The scale is a big fat stupid head. but its last day before the vacay. So yay!

1 down 1 to go!

Wed, 21 Dec 2022 08:10:43 -0800

Phew! Ran a whole ass mile all the way through. 12 minute pace isn't anything to be too excited about but I'm happy. Scale is being kind. Even after a Saul's pastrami sammich last night. Tomorrow is last day before vacation and I am ready AF for it. Also title of course meant firing up Spotify today and playing some Supertramp. Yes, I know.

2 down 2 to go

Tue, 20 Dec 2022 11:34:09 -0800

Almost forgot to blog! weight seems to be holding steady. harumph

Monday, 4 days to go

Mon, 19 Dec 2022 08:29:33 -0800

Lack of activity over the weekend is pretty clear. Will have to work to make sure I get under 230 by years end. Only 4 days til vacation! I'm ready for a break.

Booster zone

Fri, 16 Dec 2022 08:48:43 -0800

achey and tired from the booster and my arm hurts. waaaahhh. Anyways, slept in. it's friday and I'll either ride the bike later or go for a walk at lunch. I go on call today too. Best to just keep things chill

pithy phrase here

Thu, 15 Dec 2022 09:03:18 -0800

Now that is more like it. Scale is back with the program. Getting the bivalent booster today so we'll see if I'm able to work out in the morning

man oh man

Wed, 14 Dec 2022 08:50:06 -0800

So I managed to run again today. 6-6-6 🤘. Around minute 3-4 I usually feel like "hell, might just run a whole mile." While I need to get to that point I don't think I'm ready to push that just yet. I feel justified in that belief by the way I feel at 5:59 of the 6 minutes. But that's actually progress because I use to want to stop runnign about 20 seconds into the first minute. The goal is still under 230 by the end of year. Once I make that I'll probably push harder on the run. Tomorrow is an "easy" eliptical day.
