Hi all, back at work today after working from home the last 2 weeks while the bathroom was being done. ugh, I must say I do not like work, the setup of the new laptop is not going well even when I follow the instructions. I'm going to have to see if DH can help me when he gets back from NY. It's crazy, no one even offered to help me as I complained---guess they don't know how either, some has set theirs up but seems everyone has to struggle on their own? I hate that. I'm going to charge them a lot of OT hours since I have to get DH to help me. Stupid I tell you! then I went to work on something else and I don't have authority to do it....the processes suck. Then on top of it, I have to get my fingerprints done because of some stupid account is coming in that requires you to jump through 3 levels of hoops to get the fingerprints, scan them, mail them via fedex, all on the same day otherwise will be rejected. really? Am I really that untrustworthy? can't they go digital? I really hate the politics and time wasting. Well, enough ranting.
Mary, today will see if I summon up the strength to w/o in the evening AFTER being at the office all day. I don't do Imax3 or HE either! I soooo need to clean out closets and such, I think it'd be much more productive than what I did at work today (aside from the fact cleaning closets doesn't earn me a salary!) Still waiting for the glass for the shower and then we are done. My sis says she needs a wheelchair because she can't walk/stand for longer then 30 min (used to be 10 min) because of the PF. I've never heard of that! She even has a cane that has a seat in case she needs to sit while walking somewhere. OMG
Ronne, you are so much more disciplined than me, I decided that I couldn't take anymore work BS so I HAD to come check in here.
Murphy, Let's see how we do on getting our w/o in today. Now I must do one because you might check in and do one
We can't slack off together.
Roxie, I really like CSS, I never thought much about the mtn climbers w/ discs being harder...but I'm clueless with some things. I'm feeling very stupid with this new laptop.
Jody, how'd the speech go? Those of you w/o siblings count yourselfs lucky sometimes! I did have a nice shoppign trip with my sis, but the health aliments are overwhelming from them!
Well, back to frustrating work and spinning my wheels. I really want to just walk out and quit.

ok, no w/o tonight too much going on. Picked DH's brains on this setup of new laptop, told him what was going on, said it sounded like it needed lots of updates, bios, etc. I have no clue, can't believe work expects the common person to know this and sends out new laptops like this. DH said he'd work on it this weekend. I'll just bill them for his hours at my rate (I think that's fair!). Sis called had to chat a long time about her visit to the holistic person about her kidney/diabetes issues. I still need to eat, and I need an alcoholic drink after the day I had! Mother may I please????? Tomorrow I'll w/o, I promise!

Good Evening,
Tonite I went for a walk in the park for 2 miles then came home and did TF 30 instead of Imax 2, then I went out to the kids house to see the changes.
Lisa-you get a pass today my walk helped me get rid of some stress.

as if my day/night couldn't get any worse, went to the basement (where I w/o) to see the cat needed pee pads picked up. OMG, I think we may be back to the diarrhea (thankfully on a pee pad). It stunk really bad just like before when she had giarrdea. She has been going out in the backyard for a bit, wonder if she picked something up there and her old body just can't fight it off on it's own anymore? Anyway, not giving her any canned food (just her dry), I sure hope I don't have another mess down there in the morning......
Roxie, thanks for the pass, I really do deserve it! And the beer I had!

Okay, not only did I not w/o last night, I slept through the alarm so no w/o this morning. I have to check the alarm, I cannot believe I slept through it. Well, it is not that loud but, I usually hear it. Anyway, I hope the weather holds out and I can get a walk in this afternoon. That way I won't feel so bad.

Hello
Lisa - that just doesn't make sense. Why would your company give you a new laptop that isn't ready to work with? It's ridiculous. You should certainly charge for the time it'll take your DH to set it up. Well, lay back with a beer in your new bathroom and relax!
Murphy - do you have to a tax return even if you're an employee in the US? We don't here - I do one because I'm self-employed.
Mary - still sounds like a good weekend anyway. We're off to Corfu in August - long way to go yet!!
Hi Roxie
Did YR today - I've decided to do Yoga once a week while I'm so busy with work to release shoulder tension and relax a bit. Getting some very welcome rain today - it's been the driest March for nearly 60 years. It's quite worrying.

Good Morning,
Well I got up this morning and went for a 2 mile walk with the boss lady wasn't a very fast walk but she was limping by the time we got back to her house. Tonite I will go for a walk in the park and then MM timesaver.
Lisa-so glad you enjoyed the beer sounded like you needed it yesterday and sorry to hear about the cat.
Ronne-we are going to Colorado in August and that seems a long time from now.
Murphy-hope you get that walk in.

Hi everyone. Well sleeping queen was up early thinking about this @#$@#$ new computer. got up, did the SAME things I did yesterday for getting it to start up and it worked this time.....go figure! I hate computers. I've been in this industry for 29 yrs and I think I just decided I'm in the wrong field! I want to be in the RETIREMENT field Anyway after a couple of hours finally got the basic parts of the computer working, so then I went to w/o and I did Imax2 (Jody inspired me and it was at the bottom of the pile, plus I needed a fun workout!). So now I have to install the special software I need for my job, hopefully that goes smoother!
I have to cut this short, thanks for listening to me!
re: vacation --- I'm itching to go somewhere, no idea when or where......

Hi all! Today I did PS CS&T, then YR. needed some stretching out. Lisa, I would think an enormous company like yours would all ready have the computers functioning for all of you. What a pain for all of you! Hope Yoshi is feeling better. Sounds like you needed 2 beers! Roxie, hope your day is improving! It will be 5 o'clock soon! Murphy, guess your body needed some sleep. Ronne, August is coming! Have to get to work on organizing computer desk. So many appears to go through. Don't know why I save them all! Have a good day, Mary. Jody, hi to you!

No walk this afternoon - it is raining. Someone brought in pie today so I had that and now DH wants to go out to dinner. I better get back to w/o, I cannot afford to eat like this and not w/o.
Ronne - Yes I still have to file a tax return. I think everyone in the US, employeed or self-employed has to file a tax return. Uncle Sam (that is what we call the tax man) has his hands in everyone's pocket.

lol, I think I finally got everything working, so the computer is spared the hammer (but let me take it to some coworkers for all their help...NOT).
I'm trying to decide if I want to do an UB premix, but then again, I'm pretty tired after fretting over that #$#@$@ computer since 3:30am this morning, and I dropped my beloved MAC when I got home so I'm afraid I'm so tired I may drop a weight on my head!

Good Evening,
I didn't get a walk in had a headache when I came home from work and little momma decided she wanted to go out for Mexican so she asked me to go with her, but I did KCM's Power Sculpt Timesaver instead of MM.
Lisa-sounds like you need a break you get a pass again tonite.

Roxie, Olé! lol to BFH, I was trying to guess the h but I figured the bf ok.
Lisa, sorry about your goobery lap top.
I hope you can catch up with work soon, ronne
Murphy, dinning out plus eating late both make me gain pds.
Mary, I agree with others, you seem to always get a lot done and keep a smile while doing it.
My workouts= basically nothing x 2 days. I did HALF of the upper body push pull premix from MM on mon morn and 12 big girl push ups today.
Speech done- ended up doing it on Cathe home fitness, I think it would have turned out pretty good but I only had 7 min from start of my time to the end of class and I rushed thru and messed up a lot -left my visuals in back pack, bummer cuz I actually felt ok about it. Oh well, that is what I get for signing up last person possible to go. One more speech next week- persuasive. Don't worry, I'll be pissing and moaning about that one, too.
Busy week, can't wait to get some workouts in. Thurs not looking so good, just dance teach.

Hi all
Roxie - love the bfh - I could use that a lot!! Mexican sounds good!
Murphy - so where did you go to eat out?
Jody - oh well, some days are better than others! Sounds like you're busy.
Mary - do you ever stop?!!
There must be something in the air - I put MM timesaver in the WM to do today. Haven't done a straight weights workout for a while. Still getting lots of lovely rain. Hurray! Feel like I'm managing to stay on top of work, thank goodness.
