They work with a few charities - I did the Marine Corp Marathon training with them about 10 years ago for t memfault some AIDS organization. Legit, and pretty well known/organized.

has anyone ever dealt with an organization called Team in Training from the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society?
They're everywhere in the exercise world. My brother did a stint with them when he was training for some mini-triathlons, liked them well enough.

Recently I mentioned that I had been tasked to mentor a fellow project controls person, who I then discovered is a few grade levels above me. Yesterday we had a call with all the project people and I was asked to continue to oversee his work. Today, he called my boss and asked to have those projects shifted away from him, he was too busy to deal with them. Guess who has now been asked to take them on. Oh, boy. I get to call the guy now and work out a transition process.
And now I'm being a chicken about calling him.

I briefed the Big Boss yesterday prior to him going to a meeting today with the head of another organization. And now I'm completely stressing out that I gave him bad information, that he's going to be embarrassed during the meeting, and I'm going to lose my job.
I don't think the advice I gave was bad, and the lawyer was there and the Big Boss took his advice, but I did forget about some minor complicating issues that the other folks might raise.
ARGH.
Someone tell me it'll all be okay?

Any chance that it will ultimately be to your benefit to be seen handling the work the higher-grade guy couldn't get to?

Matt, that is how my direct boss is taking it. But who knows how that will play out long term. I took the chicken approach of sending the guy an e-mail instead of calling and he is out of the office this afternoon.

Speaking of exercise, has anyone ever dealt with an organization called Team in Training from the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society? They help you train (and fund-raise) for a marathon or hike. Sounds useful as a commitment device, anyway.
I trained with them for a two marathons. Their program is set up well. In terms of $$ they had a Louise overhead for donations. But the amount you have to raise is substantial.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Stronger ab muscles means the fat sits better -- looking rounded instead of slack.
And then I would look pregnant. Even more than I already do. Not that strong ab muscles are a bad thing! But exercise alone won't fix my problem, believe me I've tried.
