| Blah. Still working hard. Will be through May 15. No update on the private stuff besides my mom had surgery last night which was my sister's last ditch effort to get her the last port left for dialysis. My mom made it through but it went against the protocol of no surgical procedures. Running a half-marathon this weekend and trying to figure out how I will get all my work done at the same time since the race is out of town. Meh. Hope things are good and hating Xanga is banned at work.

| Delirious from working not one but two overnighters this week. I have no idea what I'm doing but I'm doing a lot of it trying to meet a 4/15 deadline. Also not sure if I'm trying to get fired or trying to keep my job. I'll figure that out soon, I think they're disappointed in me. Fire me. Fire me now!!!

| Today I waited 70 minutes for the pool at the YMCA to open.
Beep, beep. Let me back up there.
Last night around 10:30pm, the CFO wrote all of Finance and told us to take the day off. I think he realized he was about to have a mutiny. I was longed rumored to be unhappy and looking for a job but I was not the only one. At least 5-6 other accountants are ready to jump ship and 3 new hires said if it stayed this way, they wouldn't be here this time next year. My answer of how much vacation I took last year sadly confirmed their suspicions. You're getting hosed, yo. The hours you work make you earn what you would straight out of college Mr. CPA MBA CFA CIA. I took it that the CFO gave up. We can't meet our deadlines with year end, too many new assets, a new general ledger and not enough staff. 20 hours on Tuesday, Thursday each, 15-17 hours Monday and Wednesday, Friday I worked 14 hours and yesterday 13-14.
So I took today off. I don't know what will happen tomorrow.
I went to the YMCA early so I could swim slow and long. When I got there, it was closed. Lightning. I forgot they do that! I ran for about 40 minutes, cycled half an hour and would ask staff walking by "Is it open? Is it open yet?" They were pretty sick of me. I ended up leaving and running errands then swimming at a different YMCA. I swam my mile and got the heck outta there. It was a huge sausage fest. Not that I mind but yeah, kind of mind because 1) they were starting at the wrong end of the pool 2) these sausholes had terrible form, splashing everywhere. I'm jealous that some guys can have the worst way of swimming and still be speedier. They were causing waves. Normally, I don't mind fighting turbulence but today I wasnted to de-stress.
What's up with you?

| My job's network has banned Xanga and cut off the wireless so no updates in the workweek. I'd say I'll post at night but work is turning into a 20 hours a day nightmare. Mentally, I've quit. I'll run myself into a physical breakdown if I try to keep up with everything. I find not one ounce of joy in this job and I am frazzled and distressed. My joy is found in the time I run away from the office, my dread is the turn back to the office. Sunday nights are bad because I think about how many people will be on my back on Monday.
Saturdays are becoming increasingly difficult for me to wake up early and get my distance. I am so worn out that I need a couple to a few more hours of sleep before I get started and even then, I think about how I should be working. That sucks. I spent the majority of yesterday - St. Patrick's Day - in bed. I hardly got any sleep being out of town Monday through Thursday, training in South Carolina. I worked until about 9pm nightly and had to order room service once because everything else had closed. Wednesday was an all night worknight. I was delirious Thursday. Flights were delayed on the way home due to the volume of Spring Break travelers and storms out West.
The job I wanted to apply for on Monday is already filled. Wow!!!! I hope another opportunity comes up as I'll do anything to get out of this position. I'm going to chase a job at a gym. I don't care if it's mopping up sweat.
This morning, I participated in an indoor triathlon and did a lot better than I did last year. In 2011 for 15 minutes of stationary cycling, 15 minutes of treadmill running and 10 minutes of swimming, I got 3.94 mi (15.76 mph)/1.34 mi (11:11 mpm)/0.26 mi (1.58mph). This year, I think it's 4.50 mi bike (about 18 mph)/1.49 mi run (about 10:10 mpm pace)/0.31 mi (1.86 mph). I don't think I'll win anything for that but it's an improvement! Last year was painful bunion wise. I was out of breath this year and overly hot - I think I had too much on and started a little fast. But I had fun!!!
Short lived. I'm working from home.
