Third Gig, first OA

Finally something I was in aired... even if it is just 10 seconds...

Happy Birthday Dad

For some reason I'm having trouble calling the US from my phone- when I do get through it doesn't seem like anyone can hear me. This has been going one since just before X-mas... strange, but anyway... Hear's a belated B day message for my Dad if you're out there.

Finally, a sense of accomplishment

42.195KM... if you're feeling down, train for an run a marathon. The one thing that won't hurt the next day is your sense of pride! Also down to 67km and 22.1% body fat! (still no job though...)

On the go

Feb. 23 2008- 83.1kg, 30.1% Body fat, BMI 27.8

Oct. 19 2008- 72.0kg, 23.1% Body fat, BMI24.1 (before running 13.1miles)

Still no job, but at least I'm getting in shape. To be honest, other than the no money thing- getting shit-canned has been the best experience in my life. Haven't drank in 2and a half months, I can get up at 5am every morning to run at least 10K, I've been studying for the 2kyu Japanese accounting exam and 3kyu Business law exam to beef up my resume and have had some good interviews with 2 companies. Come Wednesday it's time to cash in on that unemployment insurance I've paid into for 7 years- more adventures to come.

One week to go...

I'm officially in the final stretch with my current company. Emotionaly it feels great!
Unfortunately there's one slight hitch- I've developed pink eye!
The daughter had it first, passing it onto the wife, and I thought I had somehow managed to escape, until I woke up this morning unable to open my left eye (from all that crusty goodness that forms while you sleep).
The silver lining to this story is that I should be back to normal by Monday, when I start my new job!
