Heat wave coming through, it’s going to get up to 32 today!! And a chance for flurries…so in honor of this, I opted for an outdoor run today. I was a little less bundled than I have been and it wasn’t too bad out, when I left it was telling me it was 21 and felt like 15…still warmer than it has been. I stayed close not knowing for sure how it would feel and wanting the option to get back out of the cold if I needed it. I did the 6 I had planned and it felt nice. Total time was 51:40 an 8:40 pace, of course this is all approximate as I didn’t wear my Garmin cause I didn’t want to stand outside waiting to get a signal. Got back to my desk and decided to forgo the lunch I brought and just ate the banana bread and apple I had along with a hot chocolate as I was suddenly freezing…I did have one issue with my calf being tight, I tried other ways of movement to see if it felt better, I’m reading ChiRunning and am trying to get far enough to start incorporating the methods, but so far I haven’t been diligent or focused on the readings…anyway, I’m sure the tightness still has to do with that tight IT Band that I have…but oh well. Also had an e-mail from J1…I know he is going to want to get together sometime soon, not sure what I want…I e-mailed and had a message back from J2 yesterday, he’s busy this week at work, but am not sure how I feel about that situation either and if I want to go out on a date with him at all…I think they all need to just go away and not make me even think about these things. I’m perfectly content without dating.
Read through my e-mails that had come in and a mistake I had made earlier in the day came back to haunt me. I realized the error after a few questions went out and I sent a message the person most affected by it apologizing and reporting my error, something had been written differently in the contract than I was used to and considering all the documents I had been processing for signature in the last few days, I overlooked the way it was written. I got the information I needed and thought all was fine, but the person I had sent the message to apologizing opted to forward that message to my boss and tell him she had lost an hour of work and numerous e-mails due to this. My boss e-mailed me back that we should discuss and that he understands people make mistakes but “we have to realize how our errors affect others”…umm…excuse me…we are overworked, understaffed and so far behind on stuff it’s not even funny in our department. This person that had complained about me I’ve forgiven on times when she’s not gotten back to me in a timely manner and even recently had to send a second message to inquiring about something I had no heard back on. We are all human, I wish I could always do my job perfectly but unfortunately I can’t. This is a tedious, pain in the butt process to get documents for signature, things that actually shouldn’t even have to be done cause the client signed it already, approvals should already be out there, it should not be my responsibility in legal to get the financial approvals, my job should be to make sure the document we got back signed is the same one we went out and have an attorney approve it and then get it signed. If there are other questions, then that should’ve been brought up, discussed and changed long before the client signed off on it…but nope, I misread one thing and suddenly I need to “discuss it” with my boss…this is so frustrating…I’m tired of being treated like an uneducated child…let me run some more files up to 12…forget that I have a degree and a brain…I’m human too…unfortunately…

How rude!! Geez!
Hang in there. The weather this week is going to be VERY weird and unpredictable too.
The down side of living in a M state. Weird guys and even weirder bosses. Move away while you can!
Ah, but it's not the boss that caused the problem...I figured if I ignored it, he would forget about it, and so far that seems to have worked. Great thing is, leaving yesterday I was on the elevator with the person that made the complaint about me...and she talked and joked with me like nothing...umm...yeah...gotta love the MN nice. (FYI, it really doesn't exist, at least not in the big cities, now small towns, people are a bit weird sometimes, but nice as can be, but would I go back...NEVER!!)
your job stuff is hilarious - there are some out there (like me) who don't currently have a job, and it's truly enlightening to hear stories and dramas of the work world - seriously. I have Chi Running - I've always felt like I haven't been dedicated to reading it thoroughly like you mentioned, but the stuff comes back to me randomly when I'm running, and it totally works - try it on the treadmill in front of the mirror for practice - it works really well.
