Today was what we call “hatchet day” at the office, where the talk around the virtual water cooler is all about “did you hear who got rif’d?” RIF= reduction in force, the Britishism for being part of a group layoff. \u00a0Today we lost a lot of good people. Some were happy to get their severance package and move on; others….not so much. So now that all that is done, it’s unusually quiet in a space housing 300 or so people in open cubes.Eerie. The only (selfishly) good thing about today is that there is no longer a never-ending candy bowl across the aisle from me. Getting chocolate now will actually take effort. And I’m ok with that. Self-control is easier when you need to get up and go down the hall (with a credit card no less!) and get it yourself then when you can just grab a mini piece across the way.<\/p>\n
Otherwise, it’s status quo around here. Mostly anyways.<\/p>\n
Two large waters, one walk done so far. I”m going to try and get a second walk in a bit later. (Edited to add: second walk done; may or may not get a third in.<\/p>\n
Breakfast: iced coffee with soy milk<\/p>\n
Lunch: Chicken noodle soup, chicken gyro (sauce on the side for dipping, left most of the bread, ate all of the veggies)<\/p>\n
Snacks: sm bag potato chips (not my fault, they came with my lunch!); FD nuts and stuff;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
