TWISTER #2 (Page 2)

Ok, have you consider platypus bladder bottles then.  Since you have that sack, these would take less space, especially when empty, and lighter:

Good Morning Tracy!

Thanks Bill...as you know from the ghoulies thread its been a rough 2 weeks...but to update everyone else to my absence:

Ive had to complete a clinical elective...I chose internal medicine--nephrology. It is a fantastic speciality in my opinion; however, I had to deal with some pretty rough stuff early on in my medical career like being apart of the team telling a patient that they have cancer and that the prognosis was pretty poor. Its a reality that you know exists, but its different actually doing it/being in that situation. So I've probably spent 20-25hrs doing that.

Then Ive had some committee stuff for monetary allocation to recreation on campus...so another 9hrs of meetings and deliberations...

ya...I have an indoor tri this sat...hopefully my past 3-4months of training pays off and the past 2 weeks have minimal effects!

I think I can one up you on the job.  I think I'll just spend my time touring the US on my bike!  Maybe something like trail maintenance....

Check out Dean Karnazes book Ultramarathon Man.  He shows a list of what he ate on one of his 200 mile runs.  Mostly high calorie junk food.  Its the only way he can consume calories faster then his body burns it off on the long runs. His long run is now 350+ miles.

Another Dean Karnazes reference.  In Ultramarathon Man, he tells of how he found a pizza place that will delivery on the road.  He tells them where he will be in 30 minutes and they bring it to him.

Look!


<--- Back up to three stars!

Not me.  Its too depressing to see all the things I want that I don't have the money for. 

This is why I didn't become a doctor. More time than I want to give to a job.  Plus I've learned that programmers can make as much as a doctor.  I like my job.  Different strokes for different folks.

Wow,  finally catching up on all the news.  I should make my goals, but I will probably only be able to go over on the bike.  Sounds like everyone is having fun!

With the Obama health plan, programmers will probably make more than doctors now!  Oh god, I just didn't bring politics into this discussion?

I prefer running when its dark and peaceful.  It is nice to watch the sun come up occasionally though.

I made some changes to a program and had tested it but it was waiting for someone to change another program before we could move it into production for everyone to use (both programs work together).  Well, the powers that be decided they wanted another change to the program I had worked on and didn't want to wait for my changes to go to production first. So they took the program that was currently in production (that didn't have my changes), made the other changes, and are moving it to production before my changes.  That means I have to take the program they just made the changes to (that doesn't have my changes) and make my changes again.
Does that make more sense?  If not, then think of it this way:  Someone screwed things up so I had to go back and redo work that I already did once before. I was able to finish it up last night but it threw off my whole evening. But that's for another post.

Yes you did.  And I think its a sad situation (that doctors will get paid less than programmers).  Doctors deserve every penny they get.  You couldn't pay me to be a doctor. I don't think most people would be willing to put in the time and take on the responsibility that doctors do.

So that answers my next question.  You are going old school with cue sheets instead of GPS.

x2 on that.  I did a swim after a run Tuesday and was wondering if I was going to make it.  I did finish my workout in the time I wanted, but it was a lot of work and my form was horrible. I was half expecting the lifeguard to jump in or ask if I was OK. This was my first swim after a run workout and I wasn't expecting it to be so hard.
