• Still super tired from running 8.25 miles on Monday
• I'm probably dong another 5K after work
• Ash Wednesday instead of pilates this evening
• Kids will whine and complain but they can deal with it
• No clue what I'm giving up for lent... I'd say yard work but I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be something you actually like

Don't do anything I wouldn't do!

Woke up at 5 a.m.

63 degrees in the Fort this morning.

Peddle something today.

Ready for 5 p.m.

Geno's Pizza for dinner.

Choir practice and church tonight.

Have a wonderful day!

ZzzZz

Wednesday, here we come.

Went to the gym last night. I feel pretty good.

Conundrum: workers are doing foundation stuff in my crawlspace, and I kind of need to poop. Feels wrong, somehow - like I'd be ****ting on their heads.

• 25 degrees on the eastern slope of the Rockies
• Flight from hell yesterday with cancellations and rerouting. Finally made it to Ft Collins about 9 only to find our rental had been mysteriously cancelled out
• Ash Wednesday
• Walking Morty to school

Zzzz...meetings....zzzz

After cutting out 90% of sugar, blood pressure is down from 136/84 to 124/79 (12 hr fast) as of my follow up doctor's visit this morning. Still enjoy my croissant with no sugar jam along with apple slices and orange. And coffee, of course. Because…
A good day starts with good coffee.
Make it a good one in spite of what the rest of humankind is up to/against.

It turns out I am really good at deciding what other people should give up for Lent, but I can't seem to think of anything for myself.

Give up giving up things for Lent.

You are supposed to give up your New Year's resolutions for Lent.

A mild 54F when I bought my coffee this morning. On our way up to a spring-like 70F today. Will be warm again tomorrow and then cool off on Friday.

Applied for two more jobs this morning. I'm ready to start hearing about some of these. I'd rather get a rejection letter than just never hear anything (the norm for Mizzou). Guessing I didn't get the MU Linux job I zoom interviewed for last month, but I've not heard anything.

I'm getting the bug to travel. Benny has been to 26 states, but Oregon is not one of them, and it's my favorite. Tanya and I went 10 or 12 times between 2000 and 2006. Storm watching on the Pacific Coast became our regular New Year's thing. I want Benny to see Mt. St. Helens in Washington as well, and we'd drive through Nevada on the way there. These would all be new states for him. Now I need to land one of these jobs, so I can fund it.

Aggie baseball is 4-0!!

Morning.

Slept like poo doo. Woke up from a dream where I wrecked my car and lost 6 teeth. Definitely had to check my teeth were still in there.
Work. Lots of trainings being offered. AI is the hot topic, of course!
Try to sneak a workout in today
Still hype over Mando and Grogu trailer.

Have a great day, all!

Have you followed up with them since you interviewed?

Slept great. Went to bed at a decent hour and was pulled out of slumber four minutes before my alarm by a text from my cousin to the group chat I have with him and my brother

First two meetings went well. Hoping for no other meetings today. I've got to get some work out

Asked IT to fix something that I asked them to fix last week. Let's try again. The problem persists

Need something from someone who is on vacation this week. That person claims to have a backup to handle certain duties when they are out. The alleged backup person said they are not actually allowed to do those duties. The primary might have a little control/power trip issue

Maybe some yard work this evening. Hoping the gopher is dead in a trap in my yard right now

• Slept decent, just woke up too early
• Panera bagel for breakfast. I am sad to learn they did away with their flavored cream cheeses (except for one). I liked the Asiago bagel with chive and onion cream cheese.
• Lots of meetings today. Only 1 left.
• Torchy's for lunch. Shrimp taco and some guac.
• Ash Wednesday service at 6PM
• Travel work after

Do whats left of the day.

I don't really have a way to follow up with them. The woman who arranged the interview works for HR, not the department I interviewed with. I wrote down the interviewers' first names and took a screen cap so I could get their last names as well. Screen cap of a zoom interview doesn't work apparently, so first names is all I have.

Got ya, that sucks…you may consider following up with HR to see if the position has been filled.

Check LinkedIn for people in IT (or wherever) at the employer with the first names you have.
