Mine has gone in fits and starts all year, and I am convinced that leaving my job will cure it once and for all. Here's hoping. Hooray for a get-out-of-the-funk strategy.

Celsius, it's good...let me tell you. anyways - Glad you've made some new resolve. I really notice the diet effects on my training too. It makes a huge difference when you eat right, as crappy as it is a lot of the time (I love chocolate. love love love.)

I just don't think I'm the reader kind of girl--I'm too used to typing in the addresses, and by the time I get to the reader, I've already read half of the unread items. I think my reader has combusted, in fact. I log in now and it says "1000+." Ahhhhh! So I ignore it. Very responsible, I know. And, on the healthy diet/cookies bit: I love to bake, but hate the consequence of eating everything. I started putting cookies in the freezer to save them for later. Except? Frozen cookies are actually really delicious. Just sayin'. I gave up on my reader a long time ago.

I have billions of chances for advancement, lots and lots of attention for my good deeds, and total forgiveness of my gaffes. I'm an expert at self-deception. Still, though, feeling burned at work is really, really hard to shake. In short, what happened to you blows. Big time. I'm glad you vented here, really, as you present such a realistic and true point of view of what it feels like when work doesn't see on our level. Boo to them. Hope things start looking up for you really soon! I have this idea of my job as “perfect” in my head.

But hey, thats what anonymous internet is for :) Now you just get to shine in your new job til they realize what a great thing they passed up and give you an even better job. Be careful with your knee! Knee's are kinda important. You know, walking, etc. :) Hope you get to smile tonight. Hugs from Canada! That sucks.

I've been whining a lot this week about how exercising sucks pretty badly in the heat. I'm not all that impressed with the way my body gives out! Apparently, I have to stick to my diet too! :) Sorry to cause backlog ;) Most of my posts probably aren’t very interesting anyways.
