How about a rousing game of Good Day/Bad Day? It's fun, I promise. Here's how we play; for every bad thing that happened today (and I may include various things that happened yesterday as well. It's been a rough couple of days people.) I will try to come up with a good thing that happened. Ready?
Bad: On my walk home today, I saw (with my very own eyes, which will never recover) a bum taking a crap in a tree planter. Seriously! Right around the corner from my house! And he wasn't even crouching down or trying to be inconspicuous. He was pretty much standing up as straight as he possibly could while still pooping.
Good: I worked out with T today. He measured me to see what kind of progress I've made and... drumroll please... I've lost an inch and a half off my waist AND 2% body fat.
Bad: I also lost an inch off my boobs.
Good: I got a really nice shout out from a client I'm working with right now that went out company wide.
Bad: My boss' boss really kind of sucks right now. She didn't even acknowledge the shout out I got. The woman sucks. Right now? I hate her.
Good: Because we are so busy at work, they've hired a couple of new people in our department. Which really is huge, and says a lot about the strength of the company I work for. One of the people they hired? Someone else to do the same job as me. Again, a totally good thing. It will be nice not to have to meet with every prospect that comes throught the door. It will be nice not to have to handle every single client my office works with. Really.
Bad: They didn't tell me they were hiring me a colleague. Until the guy had accepted the position. You know how my boss' boss told us? Via email. Five minutes before she left for vacation. And the topper? My immediate boss didn't even know they hired this guy. She was on vacation last week, and her boss went and hired him. Behind her back. But I shouldn't read anything into that, right? I mean that's not a total vote of no confidence on my boss, right? Ugh. (Sorry for the rant. I'm sure none of this means anything to you all, but just take my word for it when I say it's a total bummer.)
Good: Did I mention the 2% body fat? The inch and a half? Oh. Um? It's a three day weekend? Yay! A three day weekend. Thank you, Jesus for resurrecting this weekend and giving me Good Friday. I need the extra day off.
Bad: I have this God awful ingrown hair on my bikini line. It is painful. I attempted minor surgery on myself last night, but it was unsuccessful.
Good: Overall, life is good. I am a happy girl. I have a job. And kitties! I have kitties! And good friends. Thanks for listening to me complain.

That visual is burned into my brain now too - thanks a lot! I cannot even imagine seeing that in person - YUCK!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your success with the personal trainer. That's awesome!! I can already feel a difference in my body from running a little but don't know the exact changes. I just hope they continue :-)
Sorry work as been such a struggle lately but kudos for the company-wide "shout out." I know this is easier said than done but try not to let the "big boss" get to you. Keep your head down and just focus on what you need to do. The rest of it will work out...it always does.
It is an honor to be here to listen to whatever you have to say!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the success with your workouts, and all in the face of being a non-smoker too, that's fantastic!
Sorry about the Big Boss being weird, but it sounds like your good work is still being noticed. I feel bad for your immediate boss too, at least you have a little buffer zone. Hang in there and it will work out.
Finally, I'll never look at a planter the same way again. Ugh.
Anytime you need to complain, we're here for ya sister!
