So Lindsey & I joined the gym on Thursday, and we haven't been back yet.  I did really good last week though, I worked out Monday through Thursday.  I kind of ran out of time on Friday.  Will do better this week though.

It was interesting.  On Thursday, Jen called me.  I haven't spoken to her since I left Cardinal.  So I dragged Lindsey along with ( Read more... )

I think I'm going to join a gym.  There's a new gym in Emeryville called Mavericks that Lindsey and I checked out yesterday.  Later today I'm going to go down there and check out a class, and probably by Thursday I'll join.  I feel if I'm paying for a gym membership, I'll have more incentive to go.  When I'm working out at home, so many things can ( Read more... )

So I went to RINA to pick up the paperwork. While there, the HR director brought up that someone from Hood & Strong called him, informing him that I had accepted an offer there and then went back on that offer. WTF? What reason does Hood & Strong have to call them, aside from trying to make me look bad. I'm not a bad person, I just didn't know ( Read more... )

I want to take a trip somewhere. A trip to somewhere other than the Black Rock Desert ( Read more... )

I got stuck looking at puzzles.  I think this is what I want to do next, even if it is only 1,000 pieces.

Last night Bucky took me out to dinner at Beckett's. Since we were down on Shattuck, I decided to go to the game shop in search of a new puzzle. There were SO MANY to choose from! I had the hardest time choosing a puzzle. I wanted one that was nice looking and not boring, but complex enough that it will take me longer than a week to complete. So I ( Read more... )

I feel as though I accomplished absolutely nothing today. This is a rare day when I spent most of my time on the phone. I hate talking on the telephone... I'm too easily distracted when I'm not looking at the person I'm speaking to. But between coordinating meeting with my sisters and my mom, and talking to my dad and Bucky about getting the job ( Read more... )

Hood & Strong e-mailed back asking me to call them. I'm awful at this. I know I have every right to change my mind, as in the offer letter it says my employment with the firm will be "at will." Therefore, I or they can terminate my employment at any time with no advance notice. But I still feel awful.

Crappity crap crap.

So I received a call this morning from RINA (the Oakland job) offering me a position at their firm... which I accepted.  I just sent off an e-mail informing Hood & Strong that I will not be joining their firm.

I feel absolutely awful about going back on my word, but the pros of taking a position at RINA far outweigh the pros of taking a position at ( Read more... )
