Serenity Now!

I'm still here, but only barely. It's been a rough week so far. I started it out this weekend, tho. The was a wedding in the family, which I agreed to go to. I was probably drunk at the time. It was a fairly normal wedding, and at the reception, I saw the Irish side of the family come out. One particular group was rambunctious as ever. It had been so long since I saw them last that I didn't recognise them. Once they got a few drinks in them, it was hard not to recognise them. I told more than a few relatives that I didn't recognise them only because they didn't have a drink in hand. Gotta love family.

Since a few of us got to the reception early, we had to either wait an hour for the reception bar to open or find our own booze. Since we were downtown, I took some of them down the street to Mo's Irish Pub. Most of them were from central Wisconsin, so they were completely out of place downtown. A few looked like they wanted to bug out ASAP. After a couple drinks we headed up to the reception again since the bar was open at that point. I ended up spending most of the night drinking with the one cool cousin I could find. Was drinking from 6pm to 4am. I was severely hung over on Sunday. I'm glad that she was riding back home with other family members and not driving herself.

So Sunday was a waste of a day. I rehydrated, slept, lather, rinsed, repeated. The funny thing was that I still felt tired on Monday at work.

Monday and Tuesday were rough to say the least. The help desk staff was Poland, and boy did we get blitzkrieged. I'd say we were France, but we didn't throw up the white flag at the first call. The highlight of those days was the person who spent 5 minutes arguing with me over what store number she was at. I have caller ID. I know who I'm talking to, ya moron.

Today has been going surprisingly well. The morning was quiet which was nice because I had lots of travel plans to get done. Looks like I'm heading to Missouri again for a few days. My co-workers will probably wonder why I'm in a better mood next week. Just would be nice to not have to drive so far...

I've decided to kick my own ass into getting into shape. Maybe since it is a little bit of a competition I'll be able to get my ass seriously going. Kris (link to the right) is the nerve center for the Bloggest Loser. I put in my measurements and found out that I'm 30% fat. Yikes!

I've been at the gym every night this week, tho. After this weekend I might see about actually watching what I eat to see if I can really kick into gear. I've ever heard rumors that the winner gets a cherry or something. *laughs*

Maybe I'll post before hitting the road. See ya.
