Current Joys

Thanks guys.  Really does mean a lot.  I've mentioned it on here before, but I am absolutely miserable at my current job.  Real thankful to have a job, but it's terrible.  I was lucky enough to survive the Wachovia/Wells Fargo merger.  Worked for Wachovia for 4 years prior to the merger.  Wells came in and "repurposed" those of us that didn't get laid off.  I went from having a semi important job with Wachovia, to having a job that a elementary school kid could do.   Right now my only job responsibility is to look at printed loan modifications and make sure the numbers match those on the computer.  I can literally do my job in 15-30 min a day.  Absolutely no challenge at all.  

The new gig is going to push me hard, but it's lined with all sorts of pay incentives to work hard.  Basically, it will be up to me to make as much or as little non base salary cash as I want.   Wells wants us to do just one piece of the puzzle and move it along like an assembly line.  With IBM, I'll be able to take ownership of the entire process and see it through.  

Found out yesterday I start training for the new job on 9/7.  Making it 2 more months at this job may prove to be the most difficult thing I've ever done.   ;D

My buddy that owns his own Got Junk removal type service told me has a organ for me. I haven't played in a couple years, but the keys keep keying.

At least this time I didn't have to drive to Chicago to get it.  ::)

When I first read this I thought he decided to be an organ donor and give you a kidney or something

I had two mountain bike races in approximately 102 degree heat index conditions this past weekend and managed 2nd place (of 4) in the time trial on Saturday and 4th place (of 13) in the cross country on Sunday.  To say that it was hot is definitely an understatement.  

It was difficult during the races not to think about the fact that I could be drinking ice cold beer in an air conditioned room somewhere, but, in some twisted way, it was still fun.

For real.  I learned my lesson after my DNF at my race in May.  I only rode the XC on Sunday at about 85% due to the conditions and still came away with 4th place.  I basically rode as if it were a training ride.  I had a good time and I didn't have to be hauled off the trail and, well,  that's a good thing.

For the last few weeks I've been playing ultimate frisbee on Saturdays and I've spent the rest of the weekend w/a killer headache. I hydrate before and after, but the humidity has really been kicking my a**. I can't take it like I used to.

I used to play ultimate frisbee like it was my job.  It is a lot of fun, but I don't know if I could hang anymore.  I wear a Camelbak when I ride, but I don't think that it would work so well for ultimate, what with 60 ounces of Gatorade/water mix sloshing around on your back.  Do you think that hydration (or lack thereof) is causing the headache?  Have you ever tried any during activity fuels like gels, shot blocks, etc?

Oops. I think that we are supposed to be in the fitness thread right now.

i've taken gel tabs during the marathons but never during training runs or ultimate. I've never had this happen before..i might pick up a gel tab, maybe you're right, i don't think it's a lack of potassium because I'm not cramping up.
