completed my first day on the job. quite interesting when the terms used include "client" and "empower" and "maintain the family" and such. plus found out that there is a special unit for sexual abuse and severe (disfiguring or permanent injury) abuse. that I won't be a part of. so I am sheltered.

avoid the sports drink on runs that long and stick to water. You only want to bring out the sports drinks on runs over an hour and even then sparingly. I would only pull them out on runs an hour and a half and up. The problem with sports drink is they have lots of sugar and your body really doesn't need that sugar until longer distances.
so Monday starts the new job. as I look more at the job description, I almost kind of chuckle.
its an 8 hour work day with a 1 hour unpaid lunch (7 hours).
that includes 2 paid 15 minute breaks....so now down to 6 1/2 hours a day, 5 days a week.....
so full-time pay while (technically) working 32.5 hours a week!

Good deal. And running it constantly is actually usually best for longevity - no power and temp cycling.

No Justin Bieber. No 80s boy band dudes.
I would have said no right from the start if it was.

winding down week 2 of my gym membership, still going to the gym on a (somewhat) regular basis....that is, I'm going 5 to 6 days a week and sticking with what the trainer guy at the gym recommended as a starting program for me. I've tinkered some with the amount of weight I use for the exercises (gone up on a few of them) as...

15 mile drive for a four hour shift? Urgh. Hope you find something better.
Good thing you're working out though. I need to start doing that.

Sunday 11:30 PM to Monday 8:00 AM

Exercise is a great form of stress management.
Does smacking them in the head with a brick count? I'm just about to that point.

just posted this on Facebook, want your opinion....
Justin Bieber starts a fight with you....do you
