the things i worry about

Tuesday, December 16th, 2008

vacation is fast approaching. i do enjoy my twice weekly spin classes, so was thinking about taking a spin class on the boat. but my instructor told me that when he cruises, he just uses the bike and does his own thing. sounded novel – and no waking up early required. but i’m no spin […]

tso long tsukiji

Wednesday, December 10th, 2008

I caught an article about how tourists are going to be banned from tsukiji fish market (at least temporarily). Two thoughts: sucks for all the folks who are going to visit Tokyo and not be able to see the crazy Tuna auctions (and other fish) i’m glad I’ve been there 🙂 (Seems to be during […]

health

Monday, December 8th, 2008

this morning I came in to work to find a slew of emails in my inbox that are all variations on the “not feeling well, working from home.” Last week there was a lot of coughing, but everyone felt well enough to work from here – which means that my office is probably full of […]

Wednesday, December 3rd, 2008

Yesterday I went to Baron’s cube and started dancing. Baron was like “did you have coffee?” Busted. 10 minutes before I had a small cup of coffee from Timmy’s. But then I got a great amount of work done. This morning I decided to have another cup. Here’s what happened: 8:40: Jenn gets cup of […]

tomorrow morning’s weather

Saturday, September 27th, 2008

4/5 of the weather sites I checked predict showers for early tomorrow AM. do you think early is before, like, 6:45? fingers crossed the the weather network is right. in other news, my shirt now says jenn in big pink letters. it was a pain in the butt, so that might be all it says. but it […]

Friday, September 26th, 2008

i picked up my race package. and went on a bit of a shopping spree – a pair of souvenir socks, a new running shirt, and two bras. woohoo! i had to leave the expo so that i’d stop spending money (and because i had to get back to work) i’m bib number 8600. it […]
