vini, vidi, vici - training for the day (4/14/09)...and then some

today was not one of my best days....i had to get out of bed early after staying up way too late putting together documentation for work, get ready, drive to work in the rain and snow, work all day, run from meeting to meeting, try to get something accomplished around nailing down DR for the test in September, and then provide some value in my one-on-one with my boss....only to be told during my one-on-one that due to budget cutting, they had to end my contract....the nice news is that they don't want to release me, that they think i do a great job, and that i provide value....the sucky part is, there is no choice in the matter...the economy sucks and they HAVE to cut back....so, i now have to hit the job hunting pavement HARD....as i drove home, i let me love know.....and when i got home i was greeted with love, kisses and wags from all....and told that my training was going to change, and it started NOW....so after 20 minutes destressing, i was changed into my workout clothes and hitting the weights (end of rant, on to log).....oh, and the day has gotten progressively better since i got home....i have the best partner anyone could ask for, and the sweetest animals lavishing me with affection.
