Terrific Tuesday~ The Daily Check In Thread

Good Morning Maryland and the Tri-State Area.

Hope everyone is finally enjoying Summer...

it's same old same old here...

let's see today I am at work.
my husband is having a physical then
taking my younger son to get a learner's permit (at MVA in Glen Burnie so they can go have Anne's Hot Dogs)
my daughter is cleaning my house
my dogs are shedding in the newly cleaned house
life goes on...
we move ever closer ever faster to WLS

I'm actually getting tired of eating junk...

I am off to day two. So far my mind is swimming in a sea of acronyms - typical of most companies! i am sure I will adapt. But right now it is overwhelming! They tend to start their day later than I am used to. Once I am more independent, this won't matter to me as much. But right now, i have to wait until people are in to be productive. There is a West Coast office that I think drives the later days (in late / out later). I almost got stuck in a late conference call last night. I got to try out the mad dash from the office to the gym last night. It works!!!!  It is so nice that they are close by each other - a definite blessing for me.

Debbie,

that's an interesting point.  is it better to have the gym close to work or close to home?

Some of our people here are light night and start at 9:30 and go till 6 others start at 6 and go till 2:30

makes it hard to get stuff done sometimes...

I hope you can get back to your preferred schedule shortly!

Personally, I like having it close to work because of the possibility of less time to get from one to the other exists. But it could work close to home for some folks too. With my former job, I took I95 to work, then the beltway to the gym. This was kind of a triangle with the gym being in the middle between work and home and no choice but to use the beltway to get from one to the other - not great at rush hour. That is why I am so excited about this new arrangement.

I live off of exit 20 on the beltway (about 2 miles down)  my gym is between my house and the beltway so about 1.5 miles from home and I have to go past it to get too and from work....

I only work at exit 17 so it's not too bad for me....

Our gym is close to the house...  We hit it in the mornings before work because after it just gets put off each night...  Plus with our hours, working out at 8 or 9pm and then coming home to make dinner just doesn't work for me...

We choose close to the house because once I drive for an hour, I don't feel like exercise... or working for that matter some days!

I would love to go in the mornings and get it over with but something about getting in here early and getting out early seems to work better for me.

And there is my husband's team who tends to go toward 11-7... or technically 10:30 to 6:30 depending on if anyone gets out of bed!

oh those wacky contractors!
