The Biggest Loser..

Posted on January 21, 2012 by Scott

I’m sure some people who read this have heard of the NBC show called The Biggest Loser. At my place of business we have a full gym and we’re now starting a competition at work based on the weight loss television show. I joined the competition and I’ll be tracking my weight loss (hopefully) and working out as part of a team. I’ll have free access to a gym that normally costs $25 a month. This competition lasts through May. If the gym works out maybe I’ll pay after May. We have a company “intranet” site like a wiki and I’m posting my weigh ins there and I’ll also post them here. It’ll be motivation to try harder and be accountable. We’ll see how it goes. Wish me luck.

Trip to Northampton today..

Posted on January 17, 2012 by Scott

Today I worked in Northampton, MA for my company to go check out some technology they had at that facility that we’re getting. It was okay but I hope we get a newer version of it. The version they have is pretty buggy but the idea is great. I do IT for a senior community and this is basically a simplified touch screen computer for seniors. I’m looking forward to working with it and supporting it for the residents. We’ll see how that goes. The facility I went to is an older place that was kind of creepy but it was a good break from the usual. I’m still a little under the weather so I’m cutting this short to get some sleep.

Getting over being sick..

Posted on January 16, 2012 by Scott

A few days ago on the 12th I said I was getting sick and sure enough, it happened. I don’t know why I feel so bad but on Friday I couldn’t function at work so I left early. This weekend I didn’t rest as much as I would’ve liked and today I felt good to start the day but the more I cough, the worse I feel. I’ve had this uneasy feeling since Friday. It’s not dizziness really but kind of like the feeling you get in your stomach when you haven’t eaten in a long time. It’s not related to eating but it’s in my lungs I guess. It’s very hard to explain. I don’t feel the shortness of breath I get with bronchitis but my lungs feel like shit. I keep taking medicine and trying to rest. Going to bed right now. I just wanted to post here after skipping a few days. I had a good reason. I hope this crap goes away soon. Goodnight.

Snow.. Getting sick..

Posted on January 12, 2012 by Scott

Last night we got some snow. It probably amounted to a little over an inch but it was enough for me to bust my ass this morning. I was walking to the car in my work shoes and they don’t exactly have sneaker or boot bottoms. They’re a bit slick already. I thought I was steady on my feet. I was wrong. I managed to limit the snow exposure to the right butt cheek and it was all clean snow. I went to work with a wet booty and it eventually dried just fine. My back has been a little stiff and may hurt more tomorrow but I’ll be fine.

Aside from my snow adventure, I started feeling sick this afternoon out of nowhere. My throat hurt first then I coughed uncontrollably for a while and now I have some cold symptoms. I don’t anticipate this slowing me down much. I will be up at 5:30 and at work or 7:00. It’s Friday so I can just deal with whatever I have wrong and try to rest up over the weekend. I am not on call until February, thankfully. Time for bed.
