Hump Day!

Well, since I last wrote in my glorious blog, I had a birthday. So, what does it feel like to be 36 (yes, you read that right, I actually put down my age!!)? It doesn't feel too bad. Once i got used to the idea of the number, it really has settled well. Plus, come on, I look dang good for a 36 year old, so might as well embrace it. Yes, I do realized that sounds conceited. I really don't mean it in a conceited way, I promise!!!

So, this morning I registered for 24 Hour Group Instructor training. I am going to become a Spin instructor. I have been thinking about it for awhile and I went to the info session last night. It seems like the right time to take the plunge! Plus, the training through 24 is much cheaper than if I did it through some other format and right now, it fits in my budget. Eventually I might get yoga or Pilates certified but since they don't do that directly through 24 Hour, I decided to hold off for bit. I should focus on one thing right now and just getting in the door is what matters. Once i go through the training, I will have to "audition" for a slot but they seem to teach you everything you need to do to succeed. I will keep you updated!!!

So, I think that is it for now. I need to finish eating lunch and get back to work! Later!!!

Happy Valentine's Day

Just wanted to wish everybody a Happy Valentine's Day. It is also my Friday. I am off tomorrow so I actually have to get stuff done today. Darn :)>.

Well, that is all. There are no big stories to tell today :).

Monday Fun

Well, not really fun, but it was at least a good day. We did interviews today for the receptionist position. Since the PM is grooming me to do that role, he wanted me involved in the interviews. I haven't interviewed anybody in a long time! I kind of missed it. We had two today - both were pretty good. I had my favorite. It is nice to be involved in that part of things though.

The Writer's Strike is 99% over!! The Office will be coming back, even if just for a limited time (I think only 5 or 6 episodes will be able to be produced). But, hey, they are coming back!!!! Yay! Early birthday gift for me. Yes, again, I know I am a dork.

This weekend's weather was so insanely beautiful. I did get to spend sometime outside on Sunday. The patio at Cafe Express was a great place to people watch and the food was super yummy! There were some interesting outfits out that day :). I am kind of sore right now because I hit a spin class after work. It was packed for a 5:30 class (the 6:00 is the one that gets full). Anyway, I had crazy spin instructor and the energy in the room might have propelled me to sore legs :).

Well, that is about it. Good night!

Update!

Howdy :). Things have been going well with me. Nothing super big, just a lot of little things. Work is pretty interesting these days. Idiot receptionist quit. No two weeks notice, no nothing. She was always the epitome of professionalism, so I know everybody is just shocked she gave no notice. It has caused some problems with the office since that spot has to be covered at all times. But we've managed. In the end it is a good thing, but dang, I won't have any more idiot receptionist stories!!!

I also received my performance review today. It was pretty good! I was very happy with what we talked about. Now I have to think of goals for this coming year. Man, I just got done with my big one... I still haven't thought about the next step!!! Speaking of the PHR, I got my final score. To pass, you needed a 500. I got a 566. I was pretty happy with that one! They did break down how many questions you got correct in each section. Okay, so in Health and Safety, there were 14 questions and I got 13 correct! We just thought it was funny considering where I work. That should have been my 100%. :).

Okay, that's about it. I was very happy to see the Giants win Sunday night! I even won $10 :).

Later!!!
