Way Too Long

Since I've posted. I've thought about it, and I've read other blogs, but just didn't get around to it for myself. It's been a pretty slow week all-in-all. I started my new job on Monday. That was very cool. The training went well, and I'm typing fast enough after 4 days that I'll make more money on production than on training. So I'm now paid on production. I just hope there's work to produce tomorrow. I'm a bit nervous about Sunday and lack of work.

Funny thing about the Borg. I gave them my notice on 10/18 and let them know my last day was 10/28. Well on Monday, I got a bunch of e-mail from them, new supervisors introducing themselves, account status updates, etc. I had to reply to no fewer than 3 e-mails asking them to remove me from lists because I DON'T WORK THERE ANYMORE! Seems my former supervisor, whose last day was also 10/28, didn't fill out any of the paperwork for my leaving and apparently told nobody. Too funny if you ask me. I sort of got to have my cake and eat it, too, in that I gave notice like I needed to, but at the same time nobody knew I was leaving so I also got to say my "fuck you, I quit," which I what I really wanted to do. Now to wait for the final paycheck to come and see if they DD it or if I have to wait for a paper check. Thursday will tell.

And it's WW Saturday. I lost another pound for a grand total of 26.6, and that means I met my initial 10% weight loss. I'm now 90% of the woman I was in July. And the difference is notable. My ass is still shrinking and I've been told that it's really visible in my face. I had the week off from strenuous workouts, and I've really missed it. I found myself daydreaming about the Firm the other day. I can't wait to start up again and see how much difference I can make with the next 3-week rotation.

And possibly the best news of all is that I'm out of my reading funk. I'm not reading a book every day like I was earlier in the year, but I'm reading more and enjoying what I read, not just looking through a few chapters and throwing books aside. Today I finished Mr. Maybe by Jane Green which was thoroughly enjoyable. I have Goodnight, Nobody by Jennifer Weiner waiting for me at the library for Monday pickup. I've been looking forward to this one for a while, but I'm thinking I'll have to pick up something quick to read between now and then. Maybe an older Nora Roberts. I love her. I have all her books but one, and there are some of hers that I just love. They're like slipping into comfortable pajamas, so familar and wonderful.

One nice thing about me today: I saw my former WW leader today (she's a receptionist on Saturday), and I returned all her auction dollars and let her know I wouldn't be able to return to her meeting because of my new work schedule. I was pleasant to her even though I'm still annoyed with her and I've discovered I like the Saturday leader much better. She's more energetic, younger, and actually looks like she's at goal.
