Haven't been back to Wii Fit for a long time... ugh.

I've been watching the Olympics, but these days, there's nothing to watch.  I don't want to see Michael Phelps win yet another gold medal (especially when I already know the results), nor do I want to see a fluff piece about him.  Thank goodness swimming at the '08 Olympics is almost over.

On Friday, we had a staff meeting.  It was pointless, especially since the manager starts the meeting off saying "I don't really have anything that I want to talk about, I was too busy with work [to come up with an agenda]". 

I hate how, with the arrival of her, her sidekick, and the few people they hired over the past year - work has become one big social hour.  I have to listen to people stop by her office at least once a day, stand at her doorway instead of stepping into her office, talking and laughing.  Particularly annoying is the way she laughs... she guffaws.  Loudly.  I'm sure she knows but she doesn't particularly care (though one day, she did come to me and apologize for being so loud - I was surprised, because it's not like I said anything to her, nor did I walk by her office or anything - I just stayed at my cubicle, doing work.). 

But really, apologies mean nothing.  It's not like she's going to change her behavior, so why bother? 

I'm pretty sure she thinks I don't like her (I don't, not in particular), because I don't kiss up to her.  Everyone else makes a point to chit-chat with her (and her sidekick, just for brownie points) but I don't.  I have no need to talk to you, so why would I?

I heard that she is pretty miserable with her job as the manager (she should have known before she transferred over) - maybe she'll find something better elsewhere?  One can only hope... we also have to deal with an uber-manager as the dept head but at least he will be rotated out in a couple of years.  (He complains if we have boxes under the tables in our cubicles because he wants a professional appearance - how about getting us some more drawers so we have some place to put stuff, then?!).  And the only thing the manager can say about the dept head is "well, that's what he wants..."  She came in billing herself as a liaison between staff and the faculty, as someone who would back her staffers, and she has not lived up to that at all.  She doesn't even put up a fight.  Ugh!

My Wii mote's batteries died, so I only got to do part of the body test (no balance tests for Wii Fit age or training).  I lost 0.2 pounds. 

I was exhausted yesterday.  My boss (TBIL) asked if I was okay because I looked really tired.  I'm doing better today, but now (after lunch), I'm sleepy again.

Lost 0.2 lbs from yesterday.  Wii Fit age is back down to 27.

I am so sleepy!

On Monday - lost 0.7 lbs and Wii Fit age was like 27?  (can't remember).

Today, gained 0.2 lbs and Wii Fit age was 33.  Yikes on the Wii Fit age, but okay on the weight.  I did the free step for an hour (well, 30 mins + 30 mins, with only a break to reset the exercise).

I have finally moved into the cubes... it's okay.  It's obviously not my own office and if you really must know, I could name off everything that's wrong with it, but since it's unchangeable, who cares...

Gained 0.9 pounds from yesterday, but then took the Body Test again after I worked out for 30 mins, and my weight went down 0.2 pounds.  So I guess the net is +0.7.

Wit Fit Age is 33... yikes!

Short Wii Fit session yesterday (10 mins) and today (10 mins).  My weight loss from Day 27 to Day 28 (yesterday) was 2 pounds!  I didn't even eat that well!  I did gain 0.2 pounds back today, but that's still great.

Did have to recharge my rechargeable batteries in the Balance Board.

Well, I gained 0.9 pounds from yesterday to today, and up to 31 in Wii Fit years.  Oh well...

I lost 0.2 pounds since yesterday, but gained 4 years in Wii Fit age (so it's 25).  Good enough though!

And I did the free step for 30 minutes, while watching Frasier.  My hip was hurting a lot, though (started to hurt while I was sitting and reading earlier).  But I just continued, even though my hip was killing me, and then after a while, I stopped noticing. 

Well, until I walked out of the room and felt a ton of pain in my hip.

Just 10 minutes on Wii Fit today.  My weight/BMI stayed the same from yesterday, which I'm estatic about!  And my Wii Fit age... (wait for it):

21!!!

Wii Fit today  - I lost 1.5 pounds!  In like 5 days.  I think most of it is water weight though as I sweated buckets today.  But whatever.  My Wii Fit age is 33, which is not good.

Since I reached my goal, I had to set a new one - another 1.5 pounds in 4 weeks.  So we'll see.

So I've been told by my boss that I have to sit in the cubicle because we can't keep the office that I was going to sit in, since he got a bigger office.  I don't see how the two are exactly connected, but I've decided that this is not really worth fighting for.  I don't plan on working for him for the rest of my life anyway (if anyone needs an assistant, I'm looking) so fine.  I do plan on seeking some clarification, also because he told me that the dept head said I could pick whichever cubicle I wanted and that he would move people around if necessary.  Yeah, that would go over real well with the other staffers.

Since I can't keep my office, I would like to choose my cubicle... but the one I want is not currently occupied, so I won't be ruffling any feathers.  Not that I care, but you know, I don't want to be a petulant person like my boss.
