And then they downsized again.
And decided to have me manage a 6-month software upgrade.
And purchase and install new desktop equipment for everyone.
And bring several Web sites up.
Man, today was really busy. But I like it. The pace is fast and the day's go by in a flash. It's challenging and stimulating. Sometimes I can imagine I might even be needed at times (this thought goes away as soon as I reflect on all the good people we needed but who were let go anyway over the last couple years).
At the end of days like today I am frequently worn out. The antidote, as we all know by now, is a good run. Get home, get the gear on, and head out. It hardly takes a mile to start feeling the energy build again. By the time I'm done and showered I feel like I could immediately start the day all over again. What a great rush.
Today's run was a totally unremarkable and uninspired 5.67 mile treadmill workout. I averaged 9:43. It worked it's magic, though. An hour after finishing I'm fully recharged.
I look forward to doing it again tomorrow. -- Rob

You ran on a treadmill, a treadmill? Jeez, this younger generation is sooo wimpy! Even I ran outside. However, I realize that I got to run in the daytime and you weren't able to take advantage of that and elected not to take a chance on running into the boogie man. He comes out at night you know. Jeea, what a wimp!
Treadmill, ellipicals, inter-urban bike trails.....I say do what it takes to get in the workout! Well done on a great weekday workout and don't take any shit for that ponytail of yours! -- Bill
The boogie man lurks in camouflaged winter potholes. A "dreadmill" run is still a run, Mr. I-ran-the-last-half-mile-pretty-fast-in-the-daylight.
Ponytail? If we all grew one, and had a cool MRC t-shirt, we'd be something, wouldn't we? Maybe Mike would try it out first ... hey Mikey!
OMG, this blog is going to blow any minute now! Toooo overloaded with blogs and comments! My monitor is smokin!
