Oh, and... hiya Nibbs .

 

Edited cause I can't spell Nibbs... I've been away too long...

Does anyone want a sick Nibbs?  I don't require much right now (haha)

Go figure, the insurance co called me to set up an interview this week and I am too sick to go in.  She said she'd call me in a few days to set something up for next week. ARGH, I have been playing phone tag with this woman for a week, waited months for the job to be re-posted...caught the flu working in that petri dish of an ER while waiting and now I can't frikkin go interview because of this flu!

kaqphin - 2008-02-26 5:21 PM

Well at least she wants to set something up next week... try and nail it down so you know when you are going and have something to aim for!

then just rest and get better

kaqphin - 2008-02-26 5:04 PM

well its nice to have you back!

barqhead - 2008-02-27 9:38 AM Listen to Cat. She is wise

milaminute - 2008-02-27 9:54 AM

Well, thanks... it's always nice to stop by Nibbs, but I don't even try to catch up anymore.  Any breaking news I should be aware of??

TB just laughs at me.

I may be moving again soon. There's possibilities open on the East Coast. 

kns57 - 2008-02-27 10:52 AM Just spent the last hour and half inspiring the Feb team of 33 swimmers.  Way to large of a team.

kns57 - 2008-02-25 9:34 PM
Please do not make any teams as large as Swimming Rocks is this month. I think people got lost.

PEEPS PEEPS PEEEPS PEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPS PEEEEEEEEEEEEPS.

D001 - 2008-02-27 11:27 AM Yeah, I didn't particularly want to do that, but the swimming and biking groups started out very small. So I figured we were OK with just one team of each. After all, most people who did the Poll said they wanted to RUN. (Therefore, I made 4 running teams.) Then, all of a sudden, people started coming out of the woodwork, declaring swimming and biking goals - and NOT running goals. (So much for offering a poll...) And I was too busy at work to do much about it. Next thing I knew, those teams were at 30 people each. That's why those two teams had co-captains.

Hiya, Nibbs. Just finished another strangely enjoyable run. Don't know if I'm signing up for the March challenge. Now is not the time to push beyond my coach's plan and to put down an "easy" number seems to defeat the purpose of the challenge. Maybe I'll just lurk and cheer/jeer on the threads.

Wow thats committment.... have you had many drop outs? Id struggle to keep track of everyone!

D001 - 2008-02-27 11:38 AM Actually, the Swimming Rocks are the ONLY team that has NOT had any dropouts. All the other teams have lost people. But not the Swimming Rocks.

D001 - 2008-02-26 7:34 PM



I debated joining the challenge. I'm just so stressed at work, and will be for at least several more months.

Then, I figured that if I don't join the challenge, I'll spend EVERY waking moment at work. So I declared a small goal. This way, at least I'll HAVE to take a few minutes, several times per week, and do something OTHER than work.

That said, I'm already panicking about how I'm going to get everything done for work. All I do is work. (My training log is really sad looking this month.) And despite all the work I've been doing, I'm just falling further and further behind!

*sigh*

barqhead - 2008-02-27 11:42 AM Sorry about all the work crap. They seriously can't expect you to keep up with your workload AND your coworker's. They are living in a dream world. What are they going to do? Fire you? That would help the workload. So your "small" goal is still very much a challenge with all this crap and a good stress release. I don't see how you do it without going postal.

A small goal is good

As is picking a goal that sticks to YOUR training plan... challenges are often about consistency as much as anything... its not always biggest and longest..

D001 - 2008-02-26 7:49 PM



Are you sure I'm not going postal?

There have been moments where I felt like just walking out the door.

This afternoon, for example, I had a brief fantasy about walking into my boss's office, saying "I quit," and then heading straight to the airport and booking a one-way trip to a nice sunny island.

Just as I was deciding whether I should head to the Caribbean, or the South Pacific.... Someone stuck their head in my doorway and said, "Do you have a minute? I have some questions.".... Bleh!

barqhead - 2008-02-26 7:51 PM
Sorry. That was an assumption because I hadn't seen you on Breaking News on CNN. I got an e-mail from Go Tri Sports. They're looking for people. In NC. Might be a significant pay cut, though
