I have worked at my company for, unofficially, 17 years. When I first started working there in June, 1992, the average work week was 55-57 hours. Sometimes you worked more than that. I was 36 years old at the time and I could handle the long hours and short nights of sleep. 17 years and three knee surgeries later, I need less hours work and more hours sleep. Even moving into a quasi desk job, I still find it difficult to crawl out of bed at 3am. I could get up later if I wanted to put up with both rush hours. But this morning, things will change slightly. I received a call from my department manager yesterday. I was notified that I had to cut my time down to 40 hours. This would be down from 44-45 that I normally work. No surprise there as all the other departments got notified before I was. And I had to split my time between plants, doing calibrations at the other shop 1-1/2 days a week. I'm actually looking forward to the change. I also like the prospect of getting an hour extra...

So critical! I think far to many people think they can control their health with diet, but without exercize it is futile.
Glad to hear the weather is clearing up enough for you to get out and moving..if for nothing else but for your mental health.
ps. don't tell anyone, but some one called the coach fat boy recently...from the sidelines to the middle of the softball field, during a game. not pretty.
But when we won the game, coach said loudly: Looks like fat boy won!
You cant take that stuff personally...as I know you didn't.
Now, I'm at the library, having walked 1 mile to get here. I will soon walk an additional 2 miles to the mall, then another 2 miles plus back home where I will then, and only then, park my not-so-skinny-now rear end for the evening. :)
