Anyway, I am loving it - well as much as you can love exercising. Its an hour of intense all over body conditioning/toning, and cardio consisting of sports type drills. Sprints, jumps, sit ups, push ups, burpees (until class I never knew what they were), obstacle courses, and MORE!!! I have taken 3 classes so far, and only have 12 more to go.... yikes!
....but nothing of any importance. ha!
It was pretty good. Odd. But good. This authors newest book came out June 2008 and she was consider the Jodi Picoult of the "south". funny.
I always hate when I finish a book. I feel like I accomplished something but then its over and I find myself a bit sad. Like I grew to know the characters and now what. I'm a dork. its okay.
Still no "OFFER" from the interview on July 22nd. did my following up, had a phone call telling me the team was getting organized and would get back to me within a 1-2 weeks. A brief, I mean brief, discussion of salary requirements... and that was it! nada! siiigh. Im not completely sure why I am still interested in this opportunity. Maybe because it would be a change, a reason to spread my comfort zone again, work with what seem to be fun peers.... ??? As opposed to my current boredum. Where I sit at my desk and look busy for 95% of my day! work with people so set in thier ways its crazy and am over ruled daily. hmm, yep, thats why I want outtie!!!! and NOW!
I joined Boot Camp....
I hate group gifts....
Why do people assume you are going to contribute? And why do I feel like a shmuck when I am forced to say no, im not speding 50 bucks so this person can have pearl earings. Im not a jerk, really. I know I shouldn't feel badly about my decision but I'm too nice...!!!! I'd like to consider myself a kind, caring, generous person but does that really have to be shown with a 50 contribution? Sorry. The earings are nice gesture and hope she loves them but I am extremely budgeted and dont feel I have to explain that... For those with a large amount of disposable income- great! For the po- like me- sorry! Additionaly, I like this person, but its not as though its my bestests friend, who's birthday is also this week....
I dont like people who are FAKE!!
I am on vacation the week of the 18th! I have rented a beach house with 5 of my girlfriends. I am excited to be on vacation.... and not have to come to work for 5 straight days! I'd be lying if I said I wasnt also a bit apprehensive about it too. A week has the potential to be a bit dramatic! UGH! No, no, no drama.... Please... and lots, lots, lots of SUN! :))

Still confused.
Here is a response from my follow up for "a job".
Hi Alison,
I spoke with the team and they really enjoyed meeting you; everyone felt like you’d be a great asset to the {{Company}} team. Potential Mgr and the team would like to move forward however she needs to get more details regarding what position you’d be best suited for. I should have more updates regarding next steps within the next 1-2 weeks. Please hang tight for a couple of weeks until we can get the team organized properly. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me. I should be in touch within the next couple of week with a status update.
Have a great day!
Recruiting Mgr
I am still uncertain what job? The salary range? Structure? What my potential office space would look like, what people do for lunch.... and if they are always THAT unorganized....?!?!
ho humm.... Do I wait 1-2 weeks? OR should I follow up??? but what would I say? You obviously dont say, ummm if I were hired, where would my desk be....lol... Even though that is a very important piece of information!! I am especially sensitive to that now that I sit in this cave, no windows, half walls, in the middle of the room... suffocating by the heat nad no natural light (just "daylight" light at my desk which kill my eyes)
What if I sit on my thumbs and wait 2 weeks and come back and want to hire me as a Jr. Act. Mgr... I dont want that.... Do I say something NOW, or wait for them to say something.
arrrrgh....

Another Crafting friend, shared this with me and I don't want to lose it, so I'm posting it to my blog! Thank you Lynne!
"if you feel that you were off to a good start but are currently stalled, you need to admit to yourself that you have probably slipped back into your comfort zone. More than likely you have be3en deceiving yourself that you are making progress, but at the same time you are really not getting anywhere... (hmm, sounds about right)
What you need to do is take action! Even if it is a very small action. Nothing you can tell yourself, nothing you can say to others, nothing you can think or feel or imagine is going to get you out of the mental bog you're mired in. The only think that can rescue you is -- To Take The Next Step.
Maybe you know what that is. If you know exactly what it is, DO IT!
If you don't know, or are not sure, allow your intuition to guide you. Do whatever you feel compelled to do, but do it NOW to get yourself going again -- even if its means entering . . . . you discomfort zone."
1. Larry Joseph, Sunday 7/27/08- 730ish am.... Seizure # 3 that I know of.... :( So sad. Poor buddy. The first time Larry had a seziure, that I know of, was on September 19th, 2007. It was awful, I was worried, and after a costly trip to the vet were they poked, prodded, pinched, and all sorts of things to my kitty the Dr. concluded that is perfectly healthy... and should watch his behavior for the year. If he has 4 or more within a year we could discuss medication, further tests (brain scans), etc.... I shoke my head and said OK, but on the inside was like are you crazy?!?! Anyway, yesterday morning, Larry was asleep at the foot of my bed when he started to twitch, and more. UGH! I wasn't nearly as freaked out, and knew it'd be over soon... I waited until it was over, picked him up and held him. Poor man! I have absolutely no idea what causes them. His behavior the day/night before is nothing unusual. I do know that after the "episode" hes very freaked out. He very skiddish, very alert, and alarmed, he needs to be cuddled up as close as he can to me. Lets hope that 3 is his lucky number and there wont be a 4th, ok?
2. I finished my 8th book, I think, I have lost track... somewhere... Anyway I think its 8. Jodi Picoult, The Pact. It was good. The ending left me deflated but I guess its gotta end somehow right?
3. So my current job, the one I will leave as soon as I get a better offer, is grant funded. On Friday, the grant awards for the next fiscal year came out...and the City got the big ole Goose Egg! Yep thats right, blog peeps, the Commonwealth gave this city and our programs zero dollars! awesome, right? They are saying that my job is safe for at least the next year and then we'll bank on getting the next years grant.... I'm not concerend, I'm outtie anyway..BUT remember, me not getting that promotion? Remember saying everything happens for a reason? Well-interally we know the reasoning, or at least what the govt is telling us (I have other suspisions why we didnt get funded becuase after all isnt everything political?) but the community and social services we fund, etc.... are going to give the the grief to someone...and someones going to have to take the heat, right?
4. I am going to sign up for BOOT CAMP... no, not joining the Army. But a fitness boot camp! :) I was inspired by a crafting friend- Suzy and funnily enough I read in the newspaper yesterday about www.onthemovefit.net ~ Its close enough to where I live, reasonalby priced and PLEASE let this be what I need to get me motivated & Stay motivated!!!!!
Who is your favorite game show host of all time?
BOB BARKER..... The Price is Right! Anyone who thinks differently is crazy! hahaha
