So winter finally came.
Well, snow did. We had a few sub-zero days but today we were well into the 40’s. We manage regardless of the temperature.
The colder it gets inside the cozier it feels inside, so it’s not so bad.
My month of overtime just ended with 60-hour week. It felt like a lot, but I realize that many of my friends are routinely billing 80-90 hours a week at their law firms.
Today was a bit odd because I am now down to a 48-hour week. At some point I had to say, “Okay, I’ve been at the office for nine hours, it’s time to go.”
I took a quick pit stop at Mall of America on the way home. I accepted an offer for a senior position on another team, so I figured I could use some of my overtime pay to buy some new ties and sweaters for work.
The sweaters from H&M were a hot mess. I was horrified in the changing room and reminded that I need to get back to the gym. I was on the LA Fitness personal training schedule but my trainer randomly quit working for the gym without telling me. I found out when I showed up at 5:30 a.m. one morning and no one was there to meet me. That and a bad illness was enough to get me off of the fitness wagon. I’m back on now. I’m signed up for an ungodly time on Wednesday. Maybe my fitting room horrors will behind me come spring.
I finally found some semi-flattering sweaters and ties at Banana Republic. Someday I’ll get out of there with a bill under $250. Maybe I should get one of those credit cards they always try guilt me into. Finding a flattering overpriced sweater is quite a charmed problem to have.
