Journal: First entry

Well, I just discovered the journal feature on Slashdot and figured, why not givi it a shot?

After all, I have been here at work (which currently is in El Segundo) for an hour and a half under *specific* request from my boss, who by the way showed up 15 minutes late though she is only a 5 minute drive from the office, and have yet to do a damn thing yet. So, i'm a little bitter this morning, but I think I will get ower that.

Besides, this journal gives me an excuse to practice my DVORAK skizillz. Whether or not it was really a good idea to switch from QWERTY to DVORAK is hardly an interesting topic now. I think that in time my typing with DVORAK will be vastly faster than with QWERTY, but whether that is based on the propaganda I have read, or my real beliefs even I can't be quite sure of.

So here I sit this morning at my desk waiting for something to happen. Sounds like another wonderful day in paradise here at DirecTV. I can just 'Feel the Joy' all over the place here.

Oh yeah, did I mention that my boss decided to leave and go get something to eat while the rest of us sit here and rot?

I keep coming back to this subject. Let me try and switch to something more positive.

I am going to get myself back into my gym/living healthier routine. I have gotten out of the groove and it is time to get back in it. I'm not sure if it has been a lack of time because of work, a complacency since I am seeing Lauren now, or if I feel like I can tone it down since I have made so much improvement. Whatever the reason is, it is not a good enough one, and I need to get back into my regimen with Chris. So I will try and run at least twice a week, but would prefer to run four or five days a week, time permitting. I don't think that I will ever run a marathon, but I think that it is the best excercise that I can do to help me reach my goal weight of 155. I have definately gained a significant amount of muscle, but have been unable to shake some of the love handels that I have always had. That is my number one goal, and now I am going to make a major push towards it. NO MORE FAST FOOD! NO MORE REGULAR SODA!

So now, its a matter of willpower and ensuring that I eat a balance that will give me the energy that I need to do my workouts, but will allow me to trim down at a decend pace. I have about 10 pounds to lose, and its not going to be easy to lose them, but I have the will to do it and will make it my priority to get there.

Did I mention that I hate Siebel?
