It's funny, although I've worked as part of a team numerous times, both in my undergraduate career, and during my working career to date, I've never actually considered the fact that special skills may be required in order to be successful in doing so. I have noticed how difficult it can be to work in teams, but I've always just assumed this was ( Read more... )

Hello LJ friends,
I’m not at all as good about updating as so many of you are, but since I actually have news these days, I would like to start keeping up on my journaling. The first thing to report, and what I feel safe in telling all of you since we’re just cyber buddies, is that I, ScarletQuill, am expecting a baby Quill in the Spring. Hooray! ( Read more... )

So, I didn’t workout last night either, shame shame. But, another day of really good eating, so I’m proud of myself there. And this morning at work, I’ve created a very busy day for myself, which is great. I was going through my inbox to clean it up, and found a whole bunch of issues that had been let slip through the cracks. Apart from berating ( Read more... )

I’ve got a picture of the cast from Vampire Diaries on my desktop at work, it is both exercise motivation, and eye candy. Yummy vampires.

Also, I have no will power around homemade frosted sugar cookies. Apparently.

 I've just started a new blog on xanga, I used to use that site all the time when I was first losing weight, it really help. It's just another blog site, but their blogrings are really helpful in staying motivated ( Read more... )

Wow, so, I was feeling pretty fat after my McDonald's run last night, but after entering it in here, I've realized that I actually still kept my calories in check for the day. Of course, I still didn't do my heart any favors, but at least I can go away on vacation knowing I didn't blow my calorie goals. Woo ( Read more... )

Today was slow, boss-lady was in meetings all day, so I was left to my own devices. Problem is, a good percentage of my projects require her approval, so I was kind of sitting on my hands all day, unable to do anything ( Read more... )

So, I was feeling fat and grumpy yesterday, but it turns out I actually did really well. Despite having McDonald’s for lunch, I was able to keep my calories actually really low - I had one of the mini meals, so it was a respectable calorie count. Of course, it gave me indigestion all day; lesson learned. But after tallying my cal eaten for the day ( Read more... )

Friday morning, always a happy time. I managed to get up on time to take the train for the first time in a couple of weeks. It felt good. I wasn’t stressed or rushed trying to get here, I got to sink into my book for a solid 45 minutes, and I’ll get another 45 of that on the way home. Plus, I had time to go to Safeway before work, get a pot of ( Read more... )

Haven't updated in a while, but nothing terribly exciting. Today was shit, Comcast threatened to shut off my service if I didn't pay them, which sort of throws my grad school registration plans into the toilet. I've had to rethink a bunch of things, but the biggest one is how to live on less. I can't afford to keep living the way I was when I ( Read more... )
