Cheers!
Yesterday = Great Day
I got the call as I was walking out of the office. I debated answering it
because I was still in the building but I decided to answer it and make a
b line to the door. It was the offer for the new job and they want me.
They like me, they really like me....
So after discussing some details with them, as it turns out, Ill be making
a little more money, the benefits are awesome in comparison to what I have
now, the hours are exactly what I like (6am-2pm), and I dont have to wear
a dress shirt and slacks to work. Above all I really think Ill be happier.
Who could ask for anything more.
I hit the gym and started the new exercise program that one of the
athletic trainers here at my current job set up for me earlier this week.
Its funny but there was no mention of chest, so I emailed her on that.
Also, she has me doing one day a week for arms, core, and back. The fourth
day is balance and kind of a free day.
Yesterday was my first day using the free weights, doing her program,
along the dip rack which I already have been using. After the workout, I
felt my muscles twitching uncontrollably when I held my phone in my hand.
That hasnt happened since I first started at the gym over a year ago. So
to sum it up, I spent less time at the gym but worked more. Fantastic and
Im excited to see where the rest of it takes me.
On the way home, I ran into Kenji on Muni. I always enjoy seeing him
although he doesnt always spot me. I walked up and stared at the side of
his face, everything but lick him (which I was close enough to do), and
watched as he walked away not noticing. I followed like the puppy I am and
did the same exact thing and finally a reaction. :)
So pleasant day, pleasant night, and I got a lot of sleep. How nice!
On another note, Tuesday night I grabbed a bite to eat with John at Bagdad
Cafe. It was the first time Ive had in a while to catch up with him in a
few weeks and it was nice to spend some time doing that. He's been
traveling a lot and Ive been doing the speed dating thing. So we ate and
then I forced him to watch Chicago. He originally said I would have to
tie him up to watch it but as fate would have it, it wasnt necessary.
We are in the video store, didnt see any new releases we wanted to watch,
so we headed to the older movie section. I made the comment "well we
could always watch Chicago". He replied with "if you can put it in my
hand in 5 minutes, we will watch it". I had it in his hand in less than 5
seconds which brings me to my next topic.
Changing names.... Ive been champ for about a year now and recently a
name came into the picture that would make a great pup name as well as a
business name for my photography if it ever happens. Flash! I walk fast,
I love photography, and it could also apply to how I "work it" at a bar.
Im just curious to any thoughts on changing names? I love champ and it
was given to me by someone I love dearly but what is the correct protocol
for name changes.
Ok, off to start my day at work. Its much nicer today, knowing I have a
new job on the horizon.
