C'mon Mellow

It's a new day, yea I know "thanks a lot for the information captain obvious"! After yesterday, not eating lunch all day nor sitting in my cube for more than maybe 10 minutes maximum I'm hoping today will be a lot less of that.

I still have quite a bit going on as usual although if I pace things correctly I should finally be able to make it down to the gym for my afternoon workout. Nothing sucks more than missing two days in a row after being sick all last week. Maybe it's the best thing though while getting over my cold slowly but surely.

In the end I was not able to go down to the gym because I had so much crap going on today. By the time I could have went it was nearly 3:30 and I did not want to deal with the peeps down there at that time of the day.

Ride

I was able to get in a nice ride this evening and on my Santa Cruz Heckler of all things. Normally I will not take the Heckler on the road but after getting dressed, opening the garage and heading out I immediately noticed my back tire was flat, fuck!

Oh well, that is the great thing about having more than one bike! I did not get stuck changing a flat, instead I was out riding in minutes.

That bike is a lot more work than the road bike is to push around town. It's probably 2 or 3 times the weight! Still a really light bike but not in comparison. No matter i pedaled it just over 15 miles and feel great doing so! Much better than no exercise at all today that's for sure. I need to get some strength training in soon because it has been getting away from me a little the past two weeks due to work being so crazy.

Reviewing Peeps

Starting next week I am finally able to begin the 1:1 reviews with my team and get through that process. Overall it should be positive and a good experience for everyone. I am only worried about one of my guys. Super smart and talented but can't seem to get him to focus enough or stand up for what he needs to, in turn to protect himself against bad feedback. I will always stand up for my team first and foremost but it's tough once you start hearing the same feedback from several individuals.

Alright

That will be that for today. Hopefully the week up until now has been fair on your end of things. I have tons I still want to do and take care of. Learning more and more - one thing at a time and make progress otherwise it's the chicken with the head cut off game. Enough outta me for one day!

Photo: No real reason for today's Q*bert being used for the photo of the day other than I had downloaded it the other day to use and for some reason I either forgot or just never did and in another post there is a reference to it and no photo. Kinda funny I suppose. Either way, here it is now. I really liked this game too. If I had the room I would have a big arcade room in the house with several of the old games from back in the day.
