I keep apologizing for not posting interesting things, not posting interesting things, but posting things of interest to me. They're all just so adult, boring, sterile, and normal.
The gym isn't going poorly but I'm not setting records. There are a LOT more guys doing big lifts - as I failed to OP 155 today (I was close, but tired from yesterday) a man beside me was failing at clean and jerks with 225. I've done 135 on that. I've kind of gotten used to doing the long stretchy crap, but I'm having to go from "yay easy recovery workouts" to getting tired and sore again.
I'm also (fat) annoyed that my pants and shorts don't fit anymore, and I've had to shop for new clothes. So I'm running more and perhaps not pursuing just strength while I get my clothes to fucking fit again. On the other hand I hear dad-bod is in vogue.
This place https://www.redfin.com/DC/Washington/1337-Spring-Rd-NW-20010/unit-1/home/79869089 around the corner is selling for silly prices, and they bought the end unit for $625k. It makes me more confident about the value of my place.
I'm pricing appliances and finding...app conn, best buy, home depo, lowes, sears, and even sears outlet have the same prices...the only variable is getting reconditioned / recert / scratch n dent at sears.
I have to make some career decisions and fast - a job opened in my field, but more LR oriented as they emphasize appearing before the FLRA. It's a GS-15, which I noted would be a promotion for about $10k. However after that it would take another almost-ten years to climb a whopping 8k to the top of the GS-15 scale. So that's nice, but ... why leave when I know the Agency so well and have so much reputation credit?
I'm also still flirting with that private firm, and thinking about it more since I met someone who left them for our Dept (not Agency, but close). I forgot - I used to work for the OFCCP, which is an entire line of work that is highly marketable as well - all client side (not a plaintiff lawyer). Hmm.
I just settled a case tonight, a sad one, but it's the best answer for everyone...but me, who loses out of some fun free travel and visiting in the deal.
Numbers...who's the person that you woke up next to today...
