[19 Nov 2009|08:30am] |
does anyone know of any movie anywhere that uses a rilo kiley song as part of the in-movie soundtrack?
because that would have the power to manipulate me...I swear, it's like I have a Rilo Kiley receptor in my DNA

[19 Nov 2009|07:52am] |
Something is going on here...for a long time I've been taking Animal Pak (just a souped up daily vitamin pack) and N.O. Xplode (only like once a week, when I feel a little too tired to work out), but lately I've started taking Muscletech Anabolic Halo...and I think it's making me crazy. Part of it could be that I took N.O. Xplode Monday and Wednesday, but the Halo is the real difference here. Right now I feel like I do when I take Nyquil, which is to say I stay up all night not quite able to get to sleep, and then around 6am, it starts to kick in, but of course by then I have to go to work and it's just miserable all day. Except that I slept fine last night. I just feel not right. I never intended on becoming a supplement-head, but I also would like to try to give this stuff a full audition, especially since I bought a jug of it and don't want to waste it. But I feel like I could just pass out and sleep for 24 hours on moments notice. I would leave work and use sick leave, but I did that too recently, and I still have notions of running on the treadmill and doing this ab class today. At least I've already had muscle gains...but I don't know how much longer I can keep this up...
Oh and also, it has disrupted my meal schedule.

| gym rearrangement |
[19 Oct 2009|02:03pm] |
|
I am really frustrated with the director of the gym I go to at work. For some reason she decided it was necessary to rearrange all the benches in the gym, and the result in my opinion, is a cumbersome, claustrophobic mess. You can barely walk between the benches without running into the side of a bar or tripping over a weight-tree. The most consistent answer she's given me for why this change has been made is that "change is good!" -- and I'm like...change for the sake of change is NOT good!!! After I asked her if the changes were in response to any members complaints about the layout, she flat-out answered no, it wasn't, nobody complained. Apparently the main real reason was that the incline bench was right up against a section of the dumbbell rack and it was hard for people to get behind it, take weight off, move around, and put it back on. If this is the only real problem, then I don't see why she couldn't have just moved the dumbbell rack a little bit closer to the tradmills (you don't really need much free space behind treadmills, do you?), and move the incline bench a little bit further away from it. This double-move would have multiplied the extra space and solved the only real problem I can see that she had. It was nice before to move around the smaller benches to suit a momentary space or lift need, but now they are all placed in front of the dumbbell rack in a way that seems much more permanent, and the adjustable small incline bench juts far too much into the walking by space and isn't in front of a mirror so you can't check your form. The flat benches are still too close and claustrophobically placed in the middle of the floor with weight-trees in the walking space between them, making the space issues even worse. The incline bench is now facing the back bend thing, so when you are doing incline press, you are facing someone going up and down with their back way too close...and again, its no longer in decent placement in front of a mirror, so you can't check your form. and it's also much further away from the dumbbell rack so if you want to do incline dumbbells, you really have to carry them far just to get to the bench. The decline bench is sideways next to the walkway area so the bar juts out and can be a problem. I certainly can't do farmers walks anymore because there is no space to walk around the middle of the gym with all the benches crammed in there. I just can't express how nonplussed I am at this new setup, but with gym control recently going from one women/two men to two women, I get the feeling that my opposition is being taken as a guy trying to bully around a girl. I am also getting semi-patronizing "oh you're just afraid of change, silly!" treatment...blah...I just don't feel comfortable lifting in this gym anymore, but I'm not sure what I can do to bring it back to normal. It doesn't seem like anyone but me really cares enough to voice strong opposition, even though they tell me they don't like the new setup either...

| my (hand)job |
[16 Oct 2009|11:26am] |
I hate being yelled at for not memorizing the proper way to organize a docket file, when that "proper" way is always changing.
I hate being told to change the word choice on a letter IN A DIRECT QUOTE...if you don't want me to quote that part, fine...but if its a quote, it has to be what was actually written, not what you would have preferred to be written.
I hate using a previously approved letter as a template for a new letter, having basic structural things "corrected" on this new letter that I got directly from a previously "correct" one, then being reprimanded for not using previously approved letters as a template for new ones....
I hate being told to do more research and preparation before I ask a supervisor a question on how they want it, despite the fact that I have done this in many different ways before, only to have this extensive research in the way I have had them approve before as the right way turned back to me as completely wrong, a waste of time, and a month of back and forth edits, including several "FINAL-Draft-FINAL-Draft" volleys.
I hate staying silent for months on all these issues, just doing it how they want it at that moment, and then suddenly having an urge to explain to them how they don't exactly correct my letters in a consistent manner, and this being a reason to deem me "an attitude problem."

damnit, I forgot to bring my iPod in with me to work today...and it feels so weird...I don't know what the fuck to do with myself...I'm kinda disappointed becauseI was really working up a good pace and might have been able to finish by next friday, but now it looks like it will be sometime during the last week of October. Oh well

| best fantasy year ever |
[05 Oct 2009|02:00pm] |
|
This is probably my most successful fantasy season ever -- I won 3 of 5 leagues, would have won 4th, and claimed 2 of 2 bobbleheads if not for excruciatingly bad luck, and in a league where I might have got 3rd place if I tried hard enough, I came in 8th place on purpose so I could keep Albert Pujols for next year (if I had slipped 1 more point to 9th place, I would have been demoted to the lower tier league next year)

| Joanna Newsom |
[22 Sep 2009|10:29am] |
I can't for the life of me understand what anyone finds appealing about Joanna Newsom's music and her fucking grating voice.
She sounds like Lisa Simpson doing a Bjork impression, and it makes me angry.

I don't really like Bob Dylan at all and think Like A Rolling Stone is a pretty stupid song...but I think I actually like this Jimi Hendrix live cover of it...because Jimi Hendrix is like a billion times cooler than Bob Fucking Dylan

| goddamn IE6 |
[03 Sep 2009|09:33am] |
|
List of reasons I am annoyed that work won't let me upgrade from IE6: everything on the internet is slower, facebook will often not let me update my status, sometimes facebook will not let me backspace, most embedded music like on myspace will not work, gChat won't support more than 2 people talking to me at once and if attempted will result in a blinking message that is actually there but will not allow me to see it, www.digg.com does not load ever at all anymore...

| voicemail |
[21 Aug 2009|07:23am] |
I hate voicemail. I wish noone would ever leave me a voicemail again. I make this clear to my friends all the time, but every now and then they do it anyways. I wish there were a way to craft my VM message to say unless you are someone I don't know all that well who has important information that you can't email or text me with, DON'T LEAVE A GODDAMN VOICEMAIL, PLEASE TEXT INSTEAD, without sounding like a total dick to the few people who might actually need to leave me a viable voicemail (like a bank or a doctor or a job or something like that I guess).
And yes I know there are ways to automatically have your voicemails turn to texts, but thats too complicated for me right now.
