The Vomit Theory

Do you ever have one of those days at work where it seems like people keep coming to you from the beginning through the end of the day with problems? It starts when you first step through the door and get hit with a problem or complaint. This is followed by another problem, a few more employee complaints and so on. Before you know it your day should have ended an hour and a half ago and you are still plugging away dealing with issues.

This is what I like to call the Vomit Theory.

The Vomit Theory is basically this. People who are either your employees or consumers (whom will never be happy) feel that something is not right, or there is a problem. Therefore they come to you and immediately vomit their problem all over you. It is not literal vomit but it is a spewing of words that shoot from ones mouth and compile themselves into a lump in front of you that you now need to clean up. Sometimes the vomit is small and easy to clean up. Perhaps you could just place a potted plant over it. Other times the vomit is a huge chunky and soggy mound that is seeping into the carpet and worse then any flu season. Those must be extracted, scrubbed and the air needs spritzed for the next five hours to avoid the foul smell.

Once people vomit on you they feel much better. But now you must fix what is now laying before you. Sometimes I wonder why common sense doesn't grace my employees and family members. They make decisions and take actions that make me want to smack them in the forehead like a V8 commercial. If more people had common sense some days may be a little more tidy.

Today was one of those days where everyone had the flu.

I think the sight of all the vomit made me less hungry today. I barely ate all my weight watchers points. In fact I had a tall hot chocolate from Starbucks to finish off the last 5 points. It was so tasty too!

I didn't work out because I was stuck at work an hour and half longer then I wanted to be trying to require people to be responsible for their actions and to solve their own problems. Although my legs feel almost normal today. If it doesn't rain tomorrow I would like to take Gemi out for a bike ride in her carrier.

Oh well I think it is time to hunker down and relax for the night. I am excited for another day closer to me weekly weigh in!!

Re-appearing Blogster

So I know it has been forever since I last blogged. Yes I slacked off. But I feel the urge to start again.

So I started my diet #568. I joined weight watchers. This worked for me in the past and I figured it is a great way for me to judge just how much I am eating. Did I mention I am hungry? LOL.

I lost 1.8 pounds my first week. I wanted more but was excited to loose. I ran in the Akron Marathon on a relay team on Saturday. I did the 10K (6.2 miles). I haven't been able to walk normal for the last two days. I did get the running itch though. I really want to do the Flying Pig Half Marathon in May. But I have to loose some pounds first. My knee hurt really bad from Saturday. I iced it and took some anti-inflammatories. That helped.

I like weight watchers. It is easy to follow. I even got 3 people at work to do it with me so far. I am hoping for more. I am even surprised how I just don't eat junk food now. I would rather spend my points on something more filling. I gained ALL the weight back that I lost for our wedding. So dissapointing. (But the food was good.) I want to keep it off, I don't ever want to get back to this point again (unless I am pregnant, and I'm not!).

Abigal is the name of my fat roll though. I am hoping that she will go away. I think I may have actually started a trend. I have named one of my friends fat rolls, Delilah. Also I named one of the girls at work, Clara. It is fun to grab my belly, jiggle it, and yell Abigal is HUNGRY!

Yes I am strange, like you didn't know that!

Ok well I feel better now that I got this all out in the open. Wish me luck, my next weigh in is on Sunday. I did great yesturday and today on my food. 5 more days and I will have lost again (hopefully). I am still seeing the personal trainer. Although I should actually loose some weight faster now.

Good night and Sleep tight! Did I mention that I am still hungry?
