So, how to fill the hours between 8 and 5 today?

Well, I managed to fill the first 1/2 hour trying to get to the office. It took me that much extra time to drive the last 10 blocks, thanks to some pitiful (but very annoying) geezer whose car had broken down.

Nothing like sitting there looking at your office but being completely unable to get to it to start your day off well.

And when I got here, Buehler was already here. He gets into the office before me about once every 3 or 4 months. It's scary.

I have a training scheduled for 10:30 - 12:00, so that's another 1-1/2 hour filled.

On another project, I need to help someone reinstall their software. I've no idea how long that will take.

In spite of yesterday's Non-Enthusiasm over my nutritious, healthy turkey-and-brown-rice lunch (I looked at every bite with loathing before shoving it into my mouth and forcing myself to swallow it), I brought more turkey today. This is because during this morning's weigh-in, I discovered that I've lost another 1-1/2 pound in the last 10 days. I can shovel down turkey for the rest of this week if that's the kind of results I'm going to get.

Or, can I? Turkey is vile and nasty and lunchtime shouldn't be a thing you dread. Also, with this morning's Breakfast Egg, I tried some turkey sausage. After 1-1/2 bites, I've realized that turkey sausage is a sin against nature. I would, in fact, prefer no sausage at all.

Still. 1-1/2 pounds, right? So I brought turkey again today. Us wage slaves have little enough excitement in our days (I used to love turkey, before this stupid diet. I can't imagine ever enjoying it again) and it seems a pity to make lunchtime one of the worst times of the day, but that's the way it goes.

Eating turkey and fish gets the job done. It's just...they don't make me happy. (I haven't loved fish for decades and the only fish I'll eat is salmon anyhow.)

I spent 1-1/2 hour in the styling chair last night. I'm now freshly colored, all the way to my roots, and enjoying a new hairstyle. (Well, not enjoying. My hair being what it is, it has a complete psychobilly freakout every time I get it cut, but in another 24 hours it should settle down.) He cut off 2-3 inches and then thinned out about 25% of the thickness, if not more.

I bought a new product too, a little squirt bottle of shiny stuff. I spritz it on my hair and I'm all shiny. My hair, when not having a psychobilly freakout, is reasonably shiny already, but I couldn't resist the cute little squirt bottle.

And now...it's Coffee Time!
