My bloggers conscience says it’s time for an update, and it better be good or else it’ll leave me again (and I can’t have that... the inability to write has left me quite unsettled). –so I am following orders >.<
Lets’ see.... I’ll start off with the fact that I’m working. Just a lowly temp job, but it gets me outta the house and its great exposure in my industry. The company I’m placed at isn’t exactly my style- one of the largest banks to inhabit the financial world- but I can appreciate the inside perspective the role brings me. I won’t bore you with the deets, but I really am lucky to have this opportunity, if only for a month. (I much prefer non-profit orgs, the work environment is typically less charged with political scheming and everything is NOT about the blessed “profits”. Moreover, I like feeling that my work is contributing positively to the community. Err, but then I can’t really cite that as a reason in regards to this bank as they do give back plenty, in so many ways that I’ve already lost count. –Ive been there less than two weeks! Ok, that was a tangent!!! It started off in brackets but somehow the end bracket doesn’t belong here after a rant like that...
Anyhow, the role that I’m in is pretty much relief for the two girls dispensing me directions. They worked all summer on a project. 12 hr days, often til midnight and despite that, have fallen behind in their duties enough that the executive gods granted them... well, ME!
Never had I imagined working with spreadsheets, balancing numbers, creating new ones... What a learning experience! (I now despise excel, and their frakkin formulas!!)
So... knowing that I would be working downtown again, I signed up at the gym right across from my work. I now have a year’s contract, but when my job is terminated my boss has agreed to send an email stating that I no longer work there, which will apparently void any obligation I have to pay up all year long.
I wish I could just live at that gym... it’s pretty sweet! Five floors, a sauna, Jacuzzi, televisions built into the workout machines, free towels, and consultations!! When I saw how tricked out the place is, I thought there was no way I could afford the luxurious workout facility. But guess what?? The manager must have liked me, and cut me a deal. $80 until January. At first I thought he meant for the month, and I was tempted but not sold... until he mentioned that the first three months are free and the $80 is a deposit. AND I can still back out in November or whenever, if I need to.
Now, many of you will ask about my teeth, after I blathered on endlessly about it for weeks on end. Well, the infection is gone and Ive finished my meds. There are two teeth left to be excised, but I’m waiting til November when there will be more monies in my pocket and my contract is either expired or renewed. Not the wisest move perhaps, but given that there are no Friday afternoon tooth yanking slots available in the next three weeks, I figured another week would be acceptable.
Other than my job and now the gym, there really isnt much for me to report.
I was guilted into attending a birthday party this weekend, and ended up wholly regretting it. that in itself is another blog. AND I passed up the opportunity to hang out with a dear friend who I’ve been hoping to meet up with for weeks now  (aka someone from thoughts. You know who you are hehe)
Today, I worked with Professor G (an old prof I sometimes help out.) She bought a birthday cake for the other girl that was assisting her, and between the three of us, we demolished half of it.
That makes two days running that I’ve participated in a sugar gorge. Ugh, I feel like a sack of unhealthy blech! Well, I suppose it’s fitting then that tomorrow I have my first consult after work. Maybe I can work off my weekend festivities before they take root around my hips.
Ok, so I do have more serious things to blog about than my mundane job and diet, but light and airy is all I have at the moment so until next time...
