I spent all day yesterday working on some technical issues for our internal systems and processes. All the way up until 10:30 last night when I went to bed. My boss actually complimented my work TWICE yesterday!

I spend all day not generating any revenue and I get praised...I get tens of thousands of dollars worth of unexpected new business and I get a snide remark??? WTF?

On a happier note, I asked my boss about the Christmas plans with the team meeting, spouses, and whatnot. He said it was a no go! Woohoo!!! That makes me very happy. The CEO must have had one of his epiphanies and vetoed the plan. Yay for reasonable corporate management! That actually makes me feel better about my job, too. I feel like we have enough work already in the pipeline to keep me employed for at least six more months. And, if they sock away the profits and don't do things like, say, corporate team meetings, that my job is probably pretty secure for at least 9 to 12 months. That's something to hold on to!

I am having a really hard time getting motivated to do anything related to weight loss and exercising. It's been that way for a while. What gives? I get up at 5:30, as usual, to get my walk/run in but I end up just laying in bed thinking about stuff or get up and start working. Wassup with that nonsense?
