A look into my bedroom and my Sunday

health and fitness / 32 Comments

I have a new addition to my room. I ordered it online while drunk about a month ago and it came promptly, but finally today I took the time to color it in and put it up. Montana and Texas have now become high priority states for me to run. Look how much white I’ll get to fill in if I run those! This map also makes me feel better about not doing Delaware yesterday – you can barely see Delaware on the map. Speaking of which, I went to the doctor yesterday. After a brief round of asking me …

Unlike other fields, in consulting, starting a new project is like starting a new job: new coworkers, new responsibilities, new culture, and even new commutes. Instead of flying to St. Louis on Mondays and returning on Thursdays, eating expensive catered takeout sandwiches, and working out late night and early morning in the 24 hour hotel gym, I’m now battling traffic in the Lincoln Tunnel to drive to Jersey every day (1.5 hours …
