Got up at 6am to have a very short talk with my new boss. Told him what I've been doing, and that I want to unload it over the next three months. Now I need to invent and write up the job position that I want to do full time and send it to him for his review. It's looking positive.
Then a depressing meeting where an otherwise nice and intelligent lady is feeling overwhelmed by all the IBM-speak. She's feeling like the dumping bin of her new manager, and that he doesn't care at all about her. I'm trying to find new ways to say, hey. That's the IBM way when there are so many different things to do! But too much of the evolve or die message and she's going to die. She's miserably unhappy with feeling dumb, and prone now to getting teary on business calls. This will not do.
26lbs according to the scale this am. I fit into the first pair of my cute jeans again last night. Okay, things were still too lumpy over the waistline to wear them, but it was encouragement I really needed right about now.
My skirt is finished for the black day victorian outfit. Now contemplating the purple for evening wear. The last time I wore a corset waltzing I had to take it off in a hurry due to getting breathless and red in the face after a fast polka. Should I wear it out walking and exercising now to get more accustomed? Hm.
Maybe I will. It'll have the fun side benefit of feeling all sexy and naughty while exercising, and heaven knows anything that makes that better is a Good Thing. Just can't do situps in it.
