Yada Yada Yada

Hello my friends, I hope you are all having a fantastic week. I really wish I could find the time to get to EVERYONE’S blogs but lately I have been so busy at work I can only get to a few to comment and then browse the rest in between tasks. Sorry about that!

Imagine that – busy at work J 18 months ago I was so bored at work that I discovered the world of blog land and started my own blog and now have met so many interesting people but can’t find the time to visit everyone. I do like being busy though…. Learning all kinds of new things and implementing new stuff for my company. I’ve probably never really talked about what I do, other than it is a sit down job. I am a server administrator (more or less). I am a part of a team that manages all the servers for my company. We take care of our email systems, security systems, file systems, anti-virus….. and the list goes on. We are upgrading or installing new software for just about everything and it is keeping us busy. I’ve worked here for 22 years and have worked my way up. I started out as a receptionist making under $1000 a month and I thought way back then that I was in money heaven. Now I’m about as high as I can go in the Information Technology group without becoming a leader and that isn’t a career move I want to make because I like the technical aspect of things. I’m not blowing my own horn (really I’m not) but I’m one of the top IT folks here and they will keep me in the company until I retire. About 18 months ago, we lost quite a few IT folks (went from a team of 13 to 5) and although the work wasn’t all that busy then, we are now and have a lot less support folks to deal with it all. I am not stressed but the timeline is keeping us really busy.

However 22 years of sitting on my butt has caught up to me.

After my Tuesday blog of the “Big Fat Zero”, my exercise plans all got thrown out of whack. My PT cancelled my Tuesday session and changed it to last night and quite honestly that made it 5 days without exercising. Blah! I made up for it last night though and will again today. Now I just have to make sure that I keep it going tomorrow and so on. I felt guilty about not exercising. It was weird. I wanted to do it but couldn’t quite make it happen. I’ve got to work on that.

Eating has been so-so as well. I’m finding that I’m not hungry in the mornings lately and that’s an issue for me because I’ve been on the phone in a technical meeting starting at about 8:00 a.m. until about 2:30 p.m., every day and leaving my desk to get food is not that easy (but I do do it). I just throw my headset down and go get water (which I also have not been drinking enough of lately), go to the washroom or grab my lunch.  By the end of these meetings, I’m tired. Using my brain this much tires me out J I need to get my butt out of bed at 4:00 a.m. again and get some cardio in to get those brain juices flowing… but I’ve been having such great sleeps lately that I want to keep having 7 hours of nightly sleep…..

Yada yada yada

Have a FANTASTIC day!
