KESSLER PROBLEM. Just cause

Was sick last week. Pissed off about no training. Now I'm kinda better but still can't lose the bug enough to justify going back to destroying my body. It's annoying.

Also I have unknowingly applied for a very high level possition in our corp. Getting an interview today. Can't think about nothing else so I'm full of coffee, Adderall and nervous energy.

Oh, hai. Two inches of snow last night and so the entire state is opening two hours late roffl, which is fine because it makes for a quiet commute. I did sleep late this morning in lieu of a morning workout, which I have been doing a lot lately, and I can't seem to find my give a fuck. After three marathons and an Ironman this year, I am letting myself be lazy now.

There is a special place in hell for kind of person who spits their fluorescent yellow chewed gum onto a urinal mat in an office building you work in day in and day out. As in, you come back in the next life as a urinal mat that someone spits their fluorescent yellow chewed gum onto.

Nissan dealership waiting for the truck to get an oil change, WIFI isn't supporting my remote Citrix connection.

This is limiting my ability to work, ho hum.

i was thinking about ultra marathons last night after working out. specifically because i was super tired and worked out anyways, and was wondering how those folks half sleep while running.

In hell. Welcome!
I wish I could get high for the rest of the year. All my projects have been assigned zero budget for the next year. I am having advanced rounds of jerb interviews for the rest of the week, but they keep changing dates and times on me and give me preciously little time to focus and prepare. I hate to be in a position of depending on a Hail Mary job offer but that's where I am.

Morning Monkeys.

Dog woke up at 4:10 this morning, not happy. Trying to teach her no barking before the coffee maker fires off at 4:20. But at least it wasn't 3:30 like yesterday. Ugh.

Only a week and a half until 2 weeks off. While I would like to work because I like money, the break will be nice as I have a few projects that I need to wrap up before end of year.

I’ve seen hard candy wrappers, like from a mint, in the urinal at my gym. Dude, bro. There’s a trash can 5 feet away. That shit don’t flush. What next? A duke?

Rode my bike into work. Cold feet. (I tried the Lake shoes that JK recommended but their narrow profile and my wide feet did not get along well at all, nosiree.)

I believe in you. You CAN get high the rest of the year... you just gotta believe in YOURSELF. :drag:

On a related note - got some really tasty chocolate yesterday, and while I was cutting it up into 5mg chunks, some of the edges shattered on the cutting board, so I tossed the shards down the hatch.

Kind of turned out to be a fun mistake. :homer:

Lake 303's come in a wide version, I think they've been superseded by the 304 version now, also available in wide.

I am pretty sure I tried the wide. I am not one to fit products designed for the 95th percentile of whatever parameter, whether head circumference, torso length, or foot width.

I am an animal, basically.

(My ski boots required many hours of work by Larry up in Boulder! 104 mm last wasn't nearly wide enough.)

tired, trucks at the DPW idling all night kept me up. Had a weird dream prior which didn't help. Missed my morning spin class (PELOTON HUH) and have a xmas party tonight for the new jerb. Looks like even more people from my last job have left, so maybe I really did make a good decision.

Another milestone from the last place I worked at didn't hurt either.

you don't want to be back in this search mode in 9 months, take job 2 and ask for a bit more cash.
