This week started off like your typical Monday. You know the whole "I Hate Mondays" thing. First let me say that I work in the support department for a SAAS company -that's "Software as a Service" in case you were not aware of such cool acronyms. My work, on Sunday had scheduled as service pack release to address some bugs that were found. Well the service pack went OK, the problem is that some of those updates included Microsoft updates to our webservers and SQL servers. It was one of those updates that started to kill off our SQL servers one by one. Needless to say, shit was not working as it should. The phones were ringing off the hook with case after case of the same issues. I normally handle about 15 to 20 calls a day, 25 to 30 if we are in our busy season. On Monday morning I managed 18 calls in about 3 hours! The rest of the week went OK as far as work is concerned so that was a good thing.
Ok so this may be a bit on the TMI side of things but I gotta tell you one of the best things I have done in a long time. Being a bodybuilder, my level of protein intake is pretty high. Higher than most people (non bodybuilders) would think is humanly possible. That poses some questions when it comes to #2 if you know what I mean. It's as if I've been slightly constipated for the past 3 years (yeah I know, I wasn't very comfortable most of the time). Well I had to find another approach to try and solve this issue and came across your everyday regular psyllium husk. Psyllium has got to be the highest fibre there is with just two tablespoons providing 36% of your daily recommended fibre intake! I put two tablespoons in each of my three protein shakes throughout the day and they are really fixing me up.The past 3 weeks I have never felt better, try it out yourself if you are having the same problems. I am positive you will thank me.
On the dating side of things, not too much happening there at the present. Although I did accomplish something that I've always had a hard time with. I made my first cold approach on the subway one morning ;). Ok so nothing really came of it. We didn't have all that much time to talk, mainly because I waited way too long to strike up the conversation. We had about 2 stops worth of small talk before she got off at King street (hey King street girl, if you're reading this, you have my email and number, use them!). I had to say something to her about her eyes. She had those eyes that mesmerize me. They were a blue/green hazel and she had her hair coloured in a deep red. The contrast of her eyes and her hair just grabbed my attention and slapped it around a bit.
I have to do more of that regardless of what actually happens. I need to get out and meet new people and expand my circle of friends. David Wygant has got some really good concepts that really do work. I'm sure you've seen his work if you've seen the movie Hitch with Will Smith. Smith's character was based on David's life and business. If you haven't seen the movie, go see it, there are a ton of excellent points in there that you can use in your own dating life.
I've been giving some serious thought to picking up the guitar, electric of course. It started a little while ago when I saw the Raconteurs video for "The Level". It's live and Jack White just kills it. I really admire his style and would love to have a bit of what that feels like. I figured I can fit in lessons on Saturdays no problem. I found some postings on craigslist for tutors and was happy to see the pricing isn't as bad as I thought it would be. $18 per hour and you don't even have to have a guitar to start! Most of the ads say that they have guitars that they can provide. This is a perfect situation in my opinion. If I come to feel that it isn't for me, there isn't a big financial layout to find that out!
Well it's Saturday which means it's arms day at the gym. It's a 'B' schedule week as well so not a full out effort, just 80% of max effort. Next week goes back to an 'A' schedule which means lift heavy. If you aren't taking this kind of approach yourself in your gym endeavors, I would recommend that you do. It allows your body to bounce back a bit better, and allows you to go heavy when you need to go heavy, because going heavy is the only way to build real muscle.
Well that's it for now. I want to run out and pick up some apples and stuff. I have a prescription to grab as well. I also would like to stop and grab a tea at this new coffee shop. I've been there before and I really like it. If you're in the Y&E area, stop into Aroma Espresso Bar and look for the big bald guy.
