changes & updates
Well, been a while since I posted, and a lot has happened. (Warning: long post ahead)
First off, I’m not sure where I’m at with my weight, I haven’t weighed myself in a bit. the last I did, I had gained back about 5 pounds, back up to 183 and some change. I haven’t been eating raw like I usually do either, and I’ve been eating more, which is what caused it, I’m sure.
Work has been keeping me extremely busy as well. I know in my one of my last posts I was questioning my ability to adapt to my new assignment. That question was resolved in the last week or so, I can definitely handle it, it just took a bit to understand what was going on and how to do that kind of work. It was very nerve wracking going through it.
Our office has moved in the last week, I’m now back in the facility I was in when I started working for my company over 5 years ago. It was a very frustrating week though. On Monday I was unable to login to my pc for some reason, so they took the computer and upgraded the operating system. I didn’t have a pc I could work on at all Monday. tuesday I got it back, only to find out I couldn’t set it up to do the work I was supposed to. And once I got what I needed, I spent half the day getting it setup, so only a couple hours of work in 2 days. Wednesday they delivered my new pc, took my old one, and took my ability to set it up again. I was supposed to be able to keep that computer as a second one for testing, so I couldn’t work most of Wednesday either. I was so frustrated I simply went home early and took some leave time. Thursday I couldn’t work at my pc, but I found out the last two remaining cleanup items from my old team weren’t being taken care of as necessary, so all day Thursday and Friday morning i spent taking care of old business so I could get on with the new. I worked late Friday so I wouldn’t have to go in over the weekend, although there are likely more late nights and maybe a Saturday or two in store until this thing is done.
I haven’t made many jujitsu or yoga classes lately, just one class a week for jujitsu at the moment. That has to change if I’m going to have any chance of getting my black belt this year. I know it will, I just have to quit working late on class nights.
I still have a girlfriend too. We celebrated Valentine’s Day at my place, and I made supper for her. Turns out taking off early Wednesday was a good idea, I needed more time than I thought to make everything. Her birthday is coming up in a few days, I’m hoping I don’t have to work late that night so I can take her out. I’m really happy with her, she’s really good for me.
One of my friends from work had a hot party last weekend, it’s basically a potluck where everyone brings really spicy food. This year the food didn’t seem very spicy in comparison to last year, and from what I’ve heard, every year the food keeps getting less hot. There wasn’t any crying at this year’s party, but that’s ok, there was some really tasty food. I made guacamole and spiced up sweet and sour chicken. My girfriend went with, and we both had a good time. There’s another function with my work friends coming up, I’m hoping she’ll come to it too. We went shopping together yesterday for birthday presents for my granddaughter, who turns one year old Wednesday, so I need to get that wrapped and in the mail tomorrow if possible.
On a bit of a down note, at least for me, I found out Spike tv cancelled Blade. Kirk Jones was no Wesley Snipes, but he did ok as the main character. As with a lot of good guy/bad guy series, the bad guy was more interesting to me, and looked like he was having more fun playing the part than the good guy. i liked the series though, so in typical tv fashion, it was cancelled. Oh well. At least the UFC still has some stuff on tv I can watch.
And that’s a quick rundown on most everything that’s happened in the last 3 weeks, I’ll try to post more regularly again, even though I’m just really busy doing stuff. See ya round.
