Day 1...done and over...

People keep walking past my office to see if my boss is here. I know they are going, they should just stop and ask. When they get to his office and see that it's dark they take the walk of shame back down the hall to my office. They should have stopped here first. That always give me a laugh on his first day out of the office. After today they will just keep coming to me and asking me if I can call him and ask him a question. I just say okay. I send him a list of questions and he responds to them when he gets a moment. My boss is the coolest. We have been working together for the last 7 years. We were only apart for about 14 months when he was on assignment in ATL. But we talked at least once a month than.

I reviewed a few proposals, worked on some budgets for proposal submission and then I took a much needed break and sat outside for about 45 mintues just enjoying a breath of fresh air. Some bothersome bugs kept landing on me and my book. That was a little annoying. But I didn't let them keep me from getting my air. This is convertible car day, top down and hair blowing in the wind.

We got our "Race for the Cure" t-shirts today. I am looking forward to doing the walk. This is my first. I haven't done any formal training but I have been doing loads of walking the last few weeks. Even though some of my co-workers have joined the gym, I am still getting my exercise in. I am not a gym type person, I enjoy my non-traditional workouts and my severe slacker moments. I did the personal trainer thing a few years ago, I almost killed him when he told me no potatoes and no rice. He would call my house at 5:15 AM to wake me up to meet him at the gym. A couple of times I thought I was getting over, he called and asked to speak to me, I would say she isn't in. He would tell me to get my lazy butt up before he came and dragged me out of the house. He never did but I was too scared to try him. One Saturday after skipping about a week I was at B.Smith's for brunch and I get a tap on my shoulder. It was him, I asked him if he was stalking me, he said no but he would be working me harder because I had a plate full of potatoes and waffels. After my 6 months I decided that our relationship must end and I did not renew my membership after the 1 year. I changed my schedule and went when I knew I wouldn't see him.

That was my day...I didn't drive today so I have about 3 minutes before my ride for the day is ready to roll. And she means business when it is time to go. My former ride would give me a grace period. She would change the time about 40 times before we left. HA HA...but I love her even though many mornings I was late...She loves me too. :)

Gotta go...

Have a good evening...

She was okay...just a really agressive driver. She would scare me. She would have these outbursts at other drivers.
