Wednesday:

Actually got into work on time for once. Now the plan is for consecutive days.

Pretty much spent my entire day on conference calls and meetings again. This is getting absolutely ridiculous on the time spent for this rubbish.

After lunch, Ellie grabbed me to help her practice her kung-fu again. Her big test for a green belt was tonight and she's getting a bit nervous. So we reserved the board room for 15 minutes.

I said it before, but it's never a boring moment at this place (other than the meetings and conference calls). So basically I am throwing slow punches at this lady's face and she blocks then in various moves and then she retaliates with a combination of punches, kicks, knees and submission holds. Then I put her in various wrist holds and she breaks the holds.

I mean, it's not that dramatic or anything, as everything is pretty slow motion; but a few times I got kicked in the ribs.

Right as I was about to leave for the day, the gal that Ellie set me up on a blind date with called me..

If you remember we had a lunch date on memorial day and it seemed to go ok... but apparently not that well. Let's just say a second date isn't going to happen.

Oh well, it's not that sparks really flew or anything...

I'm getting anxious to get my kayak. It's so freakin' nice out now and my social life is so shitty (at least my social life outside of work) I gotta get this hobby of the ground.

...

I had nothing to eat in the house; well i do, but nothing appealing but some pickles and cereal (but no milk). I had a hankerin' for Chicken McNuggets.

They tasted like shit. I'm pretty sure its not chicken (maybe soy fried in grease?)

I felt sick after I ate and went to bed. flipping through the channels and lo and behold "Supersize Me" was on MSNBC. Now I feel even more sick.

I gotta start working out or running or something. My cubicle gut's getting out of hand.
