Why I’m getting nothing done today (blogging is the least of my worries)

career / 12 Comments

Do you remember back in the 90s when you had AOL, you’d get those crappy chainletters and spam not on a BCC list? Then someone would reply-all to the first one, and five others would reply-all to that one telling people they wanted to be removed, and then fifty others would reply-all to announce that you should stop replying-all… etc. That was when people were new to e-mail and hadn’t quite figured out that whole interwebs thing. I thought those days were over. Then, I got an e-mail from the technology communications department. Standard BS about new systems, blah blah. …

My breakfast this morning: (Not the whole thing, just a piece of it. And not the entire piece that is gone.) But you know what? Let’s compare the cake to some things that my coworkers are eating:Nothing: 0 cals, 0g fatDunkin’ Donuts caramel latte: 260 cals, 9g fatBirthday cake: 443 cals, 20g fatStarbucks bagel and cream cheese: 470 cals, 17g fatFresh City wild blueberry muffin: 600 cals, 29g fat When you look at those of us that actually had food (as opposed to nothing or a coffee), I actually did the best. So THERE.

Sitting makes you fat

career / 4 Comments

I don’t think I can get away with propping my computer up to stand (and I definitely can’t install a standing desk, because I’m at a different desk every day), but at least now I know why I’ve been struggling to lose weight since starting my job. I sit and work for about 12 hours/day! Tonight I’m staying in Boston instead of flying back to NYC, while the rest of my team will be leaving around 4 PM to catch their flights to various places. That means I can leave at 4 also and actually run outside! In the daylight! …

Eating healthy is a CLM

career, diet / 10 Comments

I just committed a huge CLM. Translation for those of you not in consulting: Career Limiting Move. Usually this applies to things like screwing up a detail on something we send to the client, checking a bag at the airport, or forgetting a jacket when you’re supposed to wear business formal. Tonight I learned of another CLM: trying to be healthy. Today our workload was manageable, and I didn’t have any team dinners or events planned for the evening.
