It's Monday, so it must be Washington, DC...I mean Bellevue, WA...I mean Chicago, IL...
DC was actually last week, Bellevue is this week, and Chicago is next week. But I'm beginning to need a score card to keep track of where I'm supposed to be. I'm hoping things will settle down in March because I'm a crazy, crazy optimist that way.My pool table is covered with Free Shit
The winner of the Raspberry Jam from February 8th is JstPam, with a random number of 5. It will join its fellows in the queue of things that have yet-to-be mailed to their various new homes. You guys may see your stuff in March sometime. Maybe. If you're lucky. If I'm lucky.Healthy Priorities
One of the downsides of traveling so much is that my eating and exercise habits have been suffering. It's hard to eat healthily in hotel restaurants and still maintain anything resembling variety, and oftentimes it's far too easy to succumb to temptation when it comes to unhealthy snacks. When I add in the fact that I can't run on treadmills and don't like to run by myself in strange neighborhoods, the result has been a lapse in my fitness and an accompanying increase in my girth. I think the solution is to redouble my discipline as it pertains to my exercise and food intake, but I'm having trouble finding the motivation to do so. However, the shitstorm excuse only flies for so long and then I need to move forward with my goals firmly in mind. So here we go. Yippee-ki-yay, motherfucker.Outrunning the Buttwads
One of the nice things about my gig in the Military Industrial Complex is that my immediate team is made up entirely of top-notch people - smart, hard-working risk-takers who see the benefits, challenges and opportunities in front of us. It's been a while since I've worked in a high performance team, and I thoroughly enjoy that aspect of my gig.But there are always, always buttwads.
In this case they don't work in my team directly, but instead work in teams that my team must work with - sort of a tertiary buttwad situation. That's just the nature of the beast. You can run, but you can never completely hide from the buttwads of the world. No matter how hard you try.
