The work day

Work is not all bad,
Until five, it always seems,
important work comes.

The world at home

The addition of
all our new technology,
brings stars to our eyes

On Sunday, after a week on the Weight Watchers, Esther and I weighed in. We both lost a lot of weight! I’m down to 184, booyah!

My goal for this week is to exercise 4 times, and having gotten on the elliptical machine last night, I’m a quarter of the way there.

I’m working really hard to exercise more and count every point. Did you know that Coffee-Mate Creme Brulee cream has 1 point if you use a tablespoon? I don’t use a tablespoon in my average cup, it was for an entire thermos full. At work I have the fat free, flavor free Coffee-Mate creamer and it’s 0 points. That’s my kind of food… or um… No, don’t envision me drinking creamer, that’s what popped in my head.

I think I’m going to hop on the elliptical tonight. Even though I wanted to work out Monday, Wednesday, Friday and some day of the weekend, it felt really good to work out, I think it’s becoming addictive.

Damn! My number one fantasy Tour de France rider has quit the sport. Jan Ullrich has quit the sport of cycling. Just after I watched a rather good Tour of California, I was getting psyched about cycling again. Dang it, Jan! Why did you get tangled in Operation Puerto?

The other day I got an email from someone who was asking me to look his new website. The interesting thing was he didn’t get my contact information from my website, where most people have in the past, he got it from Fast Company (janky website warning: site keeps erroring out). The even weirder thing. He didn’t get it from their website.

I submitted a comment (about email signatures):

[T]hink about how stupid signatures are. You have to read through the message to find out it`s not for you, and that you never really should have read it.

And it got published, in print! Check out the March issue of Fast Company, page 20:

Wow! I’m real famous now!

Today was incredibly relaxing. I woke up early and organized cables behind our TV stand, a very geeky task to say the least. It made me feel better about sitting down and watching the Two Towers on the new upscaling DVD player. Wow! Frodo never look so good.

While Esther and I were on a walk today, I realized that when I pursue my masters degree, I might do something related to Industrial / Organizational Psychology. Why? Because I really enjoy learning how people organize their information, how people can more efficiently organize themselves and their information and I am always looking for a better understanding of my own personal productivity. Does anyone know any good I/O psych masters programs?
