Snowstorm! Work is closed, so I can sneak out a little bit between working from home and phone calls. Got the call from Tommy 5K to come out and play. Deal me in! Ran from his place out to Weekapaug, and the Sand Trail out to Quonnie Breachway in Charlestown and back. It was brutally windy out by the breachway; I was cold for a while until we get back into protected areas. Great to be outdoors in the storm!

Got an invite to go out for a 3pm snowshoe with a few from the Westerly Land Trust. I put my snowshoes in the car just in case, but tortured myself indoors at the office from dawn to dusk. Ugh.

A long, trying day at the office. Yes, on a Saturday. Arrived at 7 to set up and get organized before a few dozen people showed up for a project simulation; finished up just before 5pm and was spent.
Sunday: 6
Got out for a fun run with Jonathan Short in B-game. Lenny, Vinny, and Sammy were our trails today.
Weekly mileage: 13 (don't laugh too hard)
Weekly synopsis: Lowest mileage in almost two years when I was sick with triple tick diseases. Work is my life now seven days and seven nights a week, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Two weeks to go.

| Check out those waves! How come no one is at the beach today? |

| Beautiful out in the snow today! Feel bad for those folks stuck on a treadmill today. |

UGH, that mileage has to be gutting you. Working for 'da man' for a living is such BS? AM I right? But it is nice to have heat, clean clothes, and a comfortable place to live, so....
ReplyDeleteHope the project goes off smoothly. Did someone compress the timeline or do you have a project team that says I've got time I'll get to it later? Then again maybe it is the difference between a small co and a large co? Large co being a place where people take a run at lunch and dilly dally around for weeks on end until working a solid week to catch up and then going back to dilly dallying around? ha ha ha!!
I've yet to find Lenny Lane (my Imaginary Husband made the sign for it, you'd think he'd of pointed it out on our many hikes through B-game - oh wait.... what hikes)
Working for "da man" is a means to an end, Beth. Just got a "go" vote from our executives for an implementation this weekend, so we're real close. No compressed timeline; I would chalk it up to the biggest software conversion in the history of the firm and being a small firm with limited resources to go around.
ReplyDeleteLenny Lane is actually quite easy to find. Park at the only parking lot on Buckeye Brook Road that is on the north side of the road (it's where NST crosses the road). Then on foot cross the road running south on the only trail there, and your very first right will be Lenny Lane and will come up quickly.
