1. Work It’s review time. It’s annoying.. but it’s necessary. Everything else is pretty quiet. Most of my projects are on hold until after the new year. The one project that’s not on hold I’m only barely involved in. I had taken two weeks off to recover from my surgery.. but since the surgery didn’t complete I ended up only…
1. Work This week we reviewed all of the projects for all of the teams on the TODO list for Q1. My team is tangentially included in three of the projects but not directly involved with any of them. This means I’ll need to re-asses my backburner projects to come up with projects for myself and my direct report. Meh.…
1. Work So I didn’t get a new boss… but I did get a new boss’s boss’s boss (or something like that). On Thursday TPTB announced that they’ve hired a new head for my division and President for my division. The new head, Paul Whose-Surname-I-Never-Heard, comes from Fandango and the new President, Mark Larkin, is someone who was previously a…
1. Work I still work for Red Ventures in the AdTech department. Instead of reporting into a central corporate team I’m now moved back to report into the CNET Group (a smaller sub-set of sites). Sites in the CNET Group make revenue from ads.. and other RV sites do not make revenue that way. I understand it.. but I’m disappointed.…
Your life is a bunch of bowls in front of you. Each bowl is full of VERY IMPORTANT THINGS (eating healthy, getting exercise, paying all your bills on time, giving attention to grow your relationship with your partner, friendships, that book you want to write…etc). You are able to hold up and concentrate on only so many things (for our…
A child stood and watched her mother prepare the annual holiday ham. The mother carefully cut each end off the ham before placing it in the pan. The child asked, “Mother, why do you always cut the ends off the ham?” The mother replied, “Well, that’s the way my mother always did it.” So, the child called her grandmother and…
TDEE Your body has a certain amount of calories it needs every day just to keep you alive. This is your Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE). These calories can come from the food you eat or from your fat stores. For the most part TDEE stays the same day-to-day but your body can adjust it over time by tuning your…
February 2018, Month 12 on Keto (low carb, high fat) Down 63.2 lbs (lost 10.3 lbs this month). That’s more like it. This month I had two-ish incidents of “cheating”. 1. On 2/15 I went out with some friends and had fondue. We had both cheese (with meats and carby dipping stuff) and chocolate fondue (with lots of fruit/dessert dippings)…
“If I quit now I will soon be back to where I started. And when I started, I was desperately wishing to be where I am now.” I am at now my lowest adult weight (well, 5 lbs above it.. but I hit it last month and the month before that). Like literally this is lower than any weight I’ve…
January 2018, Month 11 on Keto (low carb, high fat) Down 52.9 lbs (gained 2.6 lbs this month). Honestly I think I did pretty well until the end of the month. Then the wheels fell off the wagon. Ok, wait.. let’s stop a minute and take in the fact that “gained 2 lbs” now counts as wheels falling off the…
