Jan. 13th, 2009 02:21 pmAfter over 7 years the boxing class is finally going kaput. I'm not sad. I've peaked in that area, and interest in the class has waned to the point it's hardly worth going. I'm engaged in other aspects of fitness right now and would be more interested in MMA or another martial art that will let me practice grappling. I think I'll be researching schools in and around Arlington.
I never seem to feel like going to the gun range when I have time.
Worked out in the gym today for the first time since getting that crazy sick/infection, and it wasn't all bad. My weights didn't dive in 10 days like I feared. I wasn't 100%, but I'm not unhappy. I'm a little nervous that over 10 days after giving in and seeing a doctor I am still having bad headaches that are 100% located in the problem sinus.
A while ago in a fit of something I ditched a few people off my f-list, without doing one of those "to those I recently cut" comment thingys. I think the last of them just cut me back, though I had forgotten about the purge with all the things going on. I felt bad in each case when I was cut in turn, but in each case I went back and scanned their LJ - people I like perfectly well, but the "all about my cats" poster, the "I only cross-post twitter, never write more than 1 sentence" poster, or the ones that _never_ posted comments here (I suppose they didn't read but wanted me in their audience?) didn't really inspire me to add them back. On a related note I'm trying to comment more in other people's LJs - I often skim sure, but I do generally read and know I like getting comments. If I like what people write, I'm trying to make a point of responding or saying so even if I do wind up posting more fluff-comments.
Had a meeting about the exception (appeal) I'm filing on behalf of our agency. After doing about 10 hours / 10 pages of work, probably more but that's all I booked, they have completely reversed course and given a new set of instructions. I don't mind, only there is no comment about or admission that this is a change. There is never a thank you for anything in this organization. I also, for the first time, had a trip shortened solely to save budget money - cutting into my investigation time to save a pittance, perhaps $100 on a $2,000 trip. Still, I get paid and not poorly at that.
