Before After

More Alert Today

I'm definitely better rested today.

Well I did not make it to the gym this morning.  AGAIN!  So the only other option I had was to put in some work on my lunch hour.  I was able to get in a hardcore 20 minutes session and shower up to be back on time.  So in the end I guess it worked out after all.

My doctor confirmed I have carpal tunnel syndrome, but hopefully with Advil, splints day/night, and hand exercises I should be okay. 

So with my morning workout flops...I'm not sure when I'll make it to the gym tomorrow.  But I will be prepared regardless if its morning, at lunch, or in the evening.

I'm so proud of myself...I stood up and negotiated time off for coming in this weekend.  I specifically requested Fridays, too!  I know most people are automatically given comp time for working after hours, but where I am if you don't ask they won't give it to you, especially if you volunteer to come in.  Finally, I learned I have to stand up for myself, so I stated in a matter of fact way that I would like to be compensated for this additional time that I am giving.  It is impossible to do my daily work and update an outdated 5 years old procedure manual, and on top of that train the new staff. Are you kidding me???  I am not super woman, but I've tried to be for so long and finally stood up for myself.  So I say, a GOLD STAR for me!

I've really got to change my field of work.  But in the meantime, I'll take the comped Fridays.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thursday.  Talk to you later.

That's right!

Sometimes you have to stand up and say enough is enough!  I know how hard it can be to take up for yourself, especially at work. So yes, you do deserve a gold star!

I haven't taken my husband to lunch yet.  He's been working a lot of overtime lately --cha ching!!  $$$$
