I also want to shake my fist at Canada for their 150 Research Chairs program, which is hurting my institution by luring people across the border!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Everything sucks. Bah!
Someone at work, not my office, at my boss's level, sent out work emails on Friday and Saturday with images for Easter with "celebrate the resurrection of the Lord" and "he is risen indeed" on them. Ummm no. I sent an email to HR.
I was off Friday, but we had orders, so peoplevrequired to ship were here and man did they screw up paperwork. Took me two hours to do what should have taken 20 min this morning.
And now I've got an IT guy being snitty with me about a service ticket I put in a week ago that he had not addressed and is keeping me from being able to close out for the month.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I spent some time planning my next two vacations and those studies are right, it made me feel better. Also reassured that I will not run out of PTO (if all goes as planned) which is good because I did not check that before I booked my flight!

My desire to lose weight and not spend money is being severely challenged by my desire to eat my way out of frustration.

I had a bunch of Easter candy in my purse that I thought would last more than one day, but which I finished off before lunch.

That is usually my problem too, msbelle. That and I get a lot of quick cheap pleasure out of food. Not easy to replace!

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I didn't buy any Easter candy. However, my coworkers brought in all their leftovers, as well as donuts and homemade cinnamon rolls.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
NYT had a headline this morning along the lines of "You can extend life expectancy by severely restricting calories," and I was like, not a chance. I will negotiate with you on vegetables and exercise on the like, but I do not want to spend the rest of my life severely restricting my calories.

Our wings are not tired.
I have no Easter candy. I didn't get any this year. BUT, I met with the head trainer where I work out to have a strategy meeting this afternoon and she wants me to eat more. More specifically to always eat before my 7:30 AM workout, which I do anyway, and to absolutely always eat within 45 min after, which I never do. We talked for almost an hour and decided that the eat every hour or two just a little bit works best for me. I've done that before and it does work, just requires some planning. And more protein, blah blah, tough for a non-meat eater stuff. Less workouts, sniff, because I am going to injure myself. 4 a week instead of 5. So something else like swimming or beach walking the off days. A plan.
