Observations

The gym was not noticably more crowded than usual this morning. Perhaps the nasty weather (it's rainy here) kept people home.

The Atkin Diet™ ads have begun in earnest on Yahoo ("I lost 55 lbs on Atkins!"). And we wonder why eating disorders are so high in this country (he said, while munching on a handful of peanuts).

Slept a bit better last night. Melatonin, on occasion, is a useful thing. As is Sleepytime™ tea. The returning cooler weather should help tremendously with that, too.

I think I saw an older gentleman get a glimpse at my crotch this morning (and he's seen me in the gym several times over the past few months) and shake his head. I guess the 6 ga really is more eye catching. ;-)

Today is about reading and writing - one summary and one letter to another BGA to get permission to do something stupid that should never have had to be contemplated but for an idiot in one of our field offices. :) Ah well, AFOG (another fucking opportunity for growth). Actually, it'll be interesting reading and semi-useful in the new position, so I don't begrudge this one.

Oh dear

Our uber-cute (and, unfortunately, uber-straight) summer intern just came in; he's going to be working here over his winter break, for the new few weeks.

*fans self*

Just please don't let them sit him right outside my office again, that was far, far too distracting last time.

Advantages

Past the whole nice feeling after a workout, there is usually another benefit for me - I get into the office earlier than usual, so I can leave earlier than usual. :-)

1/2 an hour more...
