Setting Up

Officially back at work and today is a bit of a wasted day, setting cubes back up, running cables, finding out what works what doesn't and what was broken during the move (hopefully nothing).

One of the last moves, yes we move around a lot, there were monitors that were cracked and scratched. Some of which are not your average monitor but very expensive 3D monitors and that kind of hardware.

I have been pretty fortunate the past couple moves with only a monitor jack being screwed up and bent and not much more so this move is prolly time for my luck to run out, noooo!

Lumbar Update

So it's a new day and my lumbar is feeling better again which immediately puts me in good spirits for the day. Still not 100%, more like 65% or so but I will take it as a step toward it being back to normal.

My plan for today is to get all of my stuff set up in my new cube without hurting my back and starting the painful process over again, or worse, messing it up even more than before and it taking twice as long to heal.

Other Stuff

As always it's prime time to refocus my energy on the work ahead of me for the day and see where it takes me. I hope to still be able to get in a workout but I will have to play it by ear and not over do it.

Yesterday I was able to mow the lawn front and back without any issues and it actually felt kinda nice to warm up the muscles. I did have to be overly cautious with my lifting, bending and general movements but I was able to complete the job in a timely manner with no additional injury.

BBQ

Oh I nearly forgot that my game studio's annual picnic and BBQ is this coming Friday which should be a good time. Sucks that it will put me another day behind with my work but that's how it goes I guess. Everyone is in the same boat anyhow so no reason to stress.

Normally there are a bunch of raffles, games and contests to keep everyone entertained and busy. Also to be sure peeps don't start sneaking out early to start their weekend ahead of everyone.

I think my plan is going to be to show up, have some lunch and hangout in a mixture of sun to work on my tan and shade to stay cool. As much as I would like to get out there and play softball and stuff it's not the best idea right now, ugh!

Enjoy

Have a great Monday and make it as good and/or productive as you can as it always helps to roll into Tuesday on a positive note!
