SHHHHHHHHHH

8:20am...You know what I noticed just this morning? For the last week and a half, when I am getting ready for work, I have been doing so in silence. Normally when I wake up I have the radio on listening to Steve Harvey in the morning as background noise. Now that I'm thinking about it all last week and part of the week before I didn't turn it on. Just went about my morning routine in silence. Interesting. Not really sure what prompted me to start doing this but it just is so. It's actually nice. My quiet time with me. Today starts my 13 week walk/run program. I know I can do this! Oh...time is escaping...better go if I want to make it to work on time. Will revisit this post at lunchtime.

9:30am...So coming in to my workstation was a surprise in and of itself. Almost all of the stuff from the floor was placed literally on top of the desk where I sit. Must have cleaned the floors which is great but it would have been helpful if everyone was notified so that whatever was on the floor could have been moved more strategically. It grosses me out when crap is placed on top of someones workstation and then you have to move it all off and disinfect! EU! There was a phone now added to my desk. What? I'm starting to have an identity here?!? LOL. Nice. Anyway, no complaints...just peeked in at the little ones down the hall...adorable. How can one be angry after seeing the energy and newness in crawlers and toddlers? (smile). Well, I started my pre-sweat sweat on the subway ride and walk to the building. It's humid outside. You know what's so funny. I know I'm sweating normally just like everyone else but why does everyone else look all cool and stuff? Maybe i'm the eternal geekette. I actually looked at myself in the mirror as I was doing my normal "wash the train off your hands" routine and I looked like I was "glistening" rather than sweating? Is that really possible? Maybe because I have a summer look about me that that's why I thought that. Oh well..whatever the reason I like it. It's a positive perspective. O.K. more at lunch.

3:10pm...relatively quiet day. I'm in a holding pattern on two projects since my work can only get done based on information from two other people who are procrastinating. No worries for me. So the other temp that was here is no longer here. He was only here for a week. Kind of a nervous type. Commuted from L.I. He came in to do grantwriting but he didn't seem that confident with his writing abilities. They have like a million grants that have to get written. I told Elize that I don't mind working on the micro grants since personally while tedious sometimes, money adds up. 2K here, 3K there. It does translate into more money. They've been keeping me busy with projects so that's always a good sign that they'll keep me around for a while. I'm projecting that by the end of summer I can finally get my credit cards paid off again. Not a lot of cc debt but still I don't like having it. However in my case Suze Orman does say it's o.k. to use the cards for living expenses if necessary on a case by case basis. I think food qualifies as a case by case. LOL. Also in the process of rebuilding my emergency fund. $200 bucks certain doesn't q
