I needed the night off

I have had a really tough week.  And it’s going to get worse.
I have been in training for a week for a new job (promotion) and have had to take tests every day and maintain an 85 average in 5 quizes and get an 85 on the final.   Not hard, but if you don’t pass the final, you don’t get the job.  I already failed it once (with an 82) but this time I passed with a 98.  Go me.  Anyway,  when the final was done, I needed to release the stress. Happy hour was already planned so by 5 pm, I was sitting with a Guiness and potatoe skins.  My normal stress relief bar food.  Then a few hours later, shimp w/ past in a (gasp) cream sauce.   But it was one night and I really needed it.

I am going to be in training at the main office for a week.  Still stress but easier from what I have been told.   Again, if you don’t pass the final (next Tuesday, Jan 31st) you don’t get the job.    So today is it for me.  I will be back in a week and a half.  Don’t miss me to much.   I will try to be good eating wise which shouldn’t actually be bad,  there are good restaraunts around but we are also going to be walking a few blocks from the hotel to the office, so at least I will be exceriseing.  I am hoping to use that as my kickoff and then when I come back, incentive to join the gym.

I will probably check my email at least 3 times and if I have time tomorrow, I may read updates but I have to pack, go to the bank, the post office and do laundry.  Fun Saturday.  See in on the flip side.

Good luck. I hope you get the job.. I think stress must be one of our biggest obstacles to overcome. I know it’s mine.
