On the outside, I try to project an image of having it all together. But underneath that, I'm kind of a disaster. Hence... the name of the site: GlossyVeneer. No, I haven’t disappeared completely. I just had to travel for work last week and found that my days were pretty full. In fact, during that time I fell back on the method of Twittering, because I found that was an easy way to get thoughts out of my head in a short amount of time. So I just thought I’d recap some of them here, just so you have an idea of what has been happening in my life over the past week and so I have a record here in my blog.
8/19/08 – 9:34 AM: How can one hour difference in time zone manage to suck about 6 hours of productivity out of my day?
8/19/08 – 1:19 PM: Sexual harassment prevention training required every 3 years. Why have I been summoned 4 times in 7 years?
8/19/08 – 1:22 PM: The chairs in this room could be considered a “hostile work environment”.
8/19/08 – 3:24 PM: I deserve an award. I have successfully input the 50+ character security key to my employer’s secure wi-fi access on my iPhone. Whew…
8/19/08 – 6:35 PM: Memo to my mom’s dog: Putting your nose up my running skirt to sniff my ass is NOT the way to make friends.
8/20/08 – 7:08 AM: I am having a hard time dealing with 60 degrees this morning. My work party tonight is in the colder mountains. Guess who forgot a jacket?
8/20/08 – 10:45 AM: Remind me to never buy a shirt that ties in the back ever again. The bow/knot hurts my spine. Plus I fear it makes me look preggers.
8/20/08 – 12:52 PM: There is a vegan restaurant in this little town and I LOVE it. I am already planning on eating there again before I leave town on Friday
8/20/08 – 7:33 PM: Learned an old friend is battling Leukemia. When fundraising frustrates, I learn a new reason to keep going. http://jillwillrun.com/just-1/
8/21/08 – 9:27 AM: Went on break with the guys in my department. They came back with cookies, pizza sticks, donuts, etc. I came back with Propel Fitness Water.
8/21/08 – 9:47 AM: Did you know those pink-frosted sugar cookies in gas stations have 4 servings per cookie? Misleading packaging.
8/21/08 – 3:44 PM: Workday is closing out soon. Then I get to go for my run. I’m running down the canyon today. Pretty excited about this.
8/21/08 – 6:07 PM: 4.14 miles in 40 minutes. 15 minute yoga cooldown. Nice way to end the work day. Now I must get cleaned up. The in-laws are expecting me.
8/21/08 – 8:48 PM: Sometimes it is weird that my in-laws retired to the same town my parents live in. I forget to visit them. But tonight I was a good in-law.
8/22/08 – 5:24 AM: The alarm of my stomach growling woke me before the alarm on my phone.
8/22/08 – 7:54 AM: I passed the university track team while I was driving to work this morning. Had the urge to jump out and join them.
8/22/08 – 10:15 AM: The fluorescent lighting in the bathroom is guaranteed to amplify every single flaw. Real blow to the self esteem each time I walk in there.
8/22/08 – 11:50 AM: I was supposed to have lunch with my mom before leaving town. So far her meeting has gone 50 minutes over schedule. I want to go home!
8/22/08 – 4:46 PM: I had lunch with my mom at the vegan restaurant. After I put fuel in the VW and drove home. Just got home. I feel all stiff and tight. Ow!
8/23/08 – 3:37 AM: It’s early, early in the morning (3:30 AM). Time to fuel myself for my long run.
8/23/08 – 8:35 AM: We were supposed to do 13 miles today. A wrong turn made it 13.7!
