Feb. 26th, 2008 11:18 amThere's good stuff happening too though. And now that things are calming down a little bit here, I can remember them!
At three years, I'm the second most senior person in my department. I'd have another eight or so to go to be on top and I doubt I'm going to be here quite that long (and my team lead would probably still be here anyway) so I'm not going to get on top of that stack, but I'm quite happy with that. It means that, though I have to answer questions from the rest of the help desk folks, my job should at least be pretty secure. I hope.
The scale says I'm down to 219 pounds today. That's the first time I've been under 220 in about four years, not including having lost about ten pounds in a week and a half when I was really sick with mono a couple months ago. I'm not obsessed with the figure by any means, but it's kind of cool that following the basic precepts of The Hacker's Diet has borne fruit. I'm hoping that I'll be able to wear the black, gothy, modern kilt-like garment that Andrea mail-ordered from England for me as a present a while back but has always been just a little too small. I'd forgotten about it 'till I found it cleaning the basement this weekend, but I like it a lot.
I also am looking forward to warmer temperatures making it easier to excercise via bicyle rides or climbing around abandoned buildings.
I only have to work two more days (plus this one) this week.
I'm spending the weekend at a water park with loved ones.
The first lunch (I eat two; one at 11 and one at 3) was a really yummy chimichanga! (Ok, I'm stretching here.)
