OMG Best Run EVER!
I had the best run tonight - in the crappiest weather. After such a shitty run yesterday I wasn't really expecting much. But I had a lot to mull over - and generally just veg out and not think for half an hour. It just felt amazing during and after. Talk about a runners high. I guess that's why you keep wanting to do it once you start - the whole runners high is definitely true for me. It was really rainy and I got soaked - but it was an awesome run. Here's proof that you shouldn't stay indoors even if the weather sucks.
I would definitely recommend running outside instead of inside. It always felt a little pointless and that I was always trying to distract myself running inside on a treadmill - but outside I don't feel the constant pressure to try to distract myself from what I'm doing. I'm actually into it and easily slip into the runners comma - where I'm thinking about something or just zoning out.
Work has just flown by the last two days - and I'm still not close to being caught up. We have people from Japan coming in tonight to visit - at least I don't have to entertain them. Though the whole company has to play nice tomorrow and thursday while they are here. Hopefully the whole thing goes well. It's wicked obnoxious for me because I'm involved in so many parts of the business - so I have to interact with the vast majority of people that work for the company. This is not usually a problem - but when you get back from a trip EVERYONE and their mother (not literally everyone's mother - my mother at least wants to know) wants to chat you up and see how your trip was and what you did lalala they think it's a good excuse to waste time. Which it is a good excuse to waste time - the problem is that when I get back I don't have a lot of time to waste doing dumb things like talking to people about a trip. I really just came over to talk about the thing at hand - not about what I've been up to the last few days. I don't really care to tell everyone I work with the sordid details of my life or the dumb things that I end up doing when I've had a few too many. There are a couple people I work with who are on vacation this week - which is a blessing and a curse. It's great b/c they aren't generating more work for me - but it's a curse b/c I also have to take over all their work. Hopefully I'll be mostly caught up by next week - but I have a feeling that I'm still going to be behind. I hate feeling behind at work. At home - I don't feel so bad about not doing things. I usually wait until things are critical and top priority before I even attempt to do them - but at work it's much harder. I'm not one of those people who likes to create excess work for themselves by doing extensive analysis that's not really necessary in the grand scheme of things. I'll do the analysis if it proves my point to the higher ups - and gets me what I want - but it's not so cool to do that just for the fuck of it. I've got better things to do (like read digg.)
This one guy at work is really chapping my cheeks lately. He's just pissed off at the world and is really bitter about everything that doesn't go his way. You know - you're not two anymore. Things aren't always going to go your way. You need to at least appear co-operative after a decision you didn't like was made. There is a (distinct) possibility that you might have been wrong, your logic faulty, or your method just too difficult in real life - but in theory a nice thought. So stop fucking whining. I always wonder at times like this if it's because he's not getting any from his wife - or if he's just PMSing. (Guys actually have hormonal swings too - look it up - I'm sure there's something on Wikipedia about it.)
Speaking of wikipedia - what is up with all those people who can spend hours and hours on it. Don't you just get bored for the lack of entertaining way to gain information. Who actually wants to read an encyclopedia? Yes I know it's online - but it doesn't make it cooler - or less dorky to sit around reading it. Nor is it in anyway interesting way to gain information. I do use it on occasion - but the problem is that not every technical thing I need is in it - b/c people are too lazy to actual sit and write up the article - and there's only like three people in the world who are experts at it. So the information I want is never actually in wikipedia - or you search it and it comes up with another convention that's the same thing by a different name - but it doesn't link the two together. And I'm not the best at remember synonyms for things - so it's really fucking annoying.
I found out that my cousin Jeff is getting married in July of next year in Indiana - they set a date while I was gone. What is it with everyone getting married lately? I guess I'm just at that age or something....
Well - back to work for a few hours before I have to wake up and actually go into the office. *sigh*
