12690256, How's your first Monday of 2015 going?
Posted by Very-Effortless, Mon Jan-05-15 02:31 PM
I got up early for fasted cardio before work.

Dug myself out of 150 unread emails before lunch.

Booked a last minute work trip to LA for next week.

Got my allergy shots.

And now I'm on a conference call where everyone speaks Portuguese except me... aka, the most useless conference call ever.

My boss still hasn't come in (and probably wont).

It's surprisingly slow given that I've been out for 3 weeks. I'm leaving early for spin class.

I got here at 9:10... that's the earliest I've made it in with the exception of the day I had an 8am telepresence with Korea. Usually I roll in at damn near 10.

I was burnt out too before the break. I had to tackle this email though. Cause folk are gonna realize we're back at work soon.

Posted by nayaa, Mon Jan-05-15 02:40 PM

12690287, It was -2 when I went to the gym at 5 am

I got home and got ready for work and trudged back out in it. The Hubs just started working from home. I gave him the meanest side eye. I wanna be at home too.

Its slow at the gig. I'm not trying to be bothered with anyone at all. STFU talking to me. I'm really not interested in your holiday. I didnt ask did I? Yes its cold out. We know this. Just wear layers and stfu, unless you can work from home.

12690303, lol.

it's true what they say...people are strange, when you're strangers.

not compassionate....only polite.

I am not like you at all and i cannot pretend.
12690332, buy me a pair... I don't have snow boots yet.
Posted by Very-Effortless, Mon Jan-05-15 03:01 PM
It's supposed tomorrow... I'm gonna be SOL.
12690328, fast...playing catch up has preoccupied me.

also you don't really know how disorganized folks are until you take over a task or duty they had.

12690423, started off crappy
Posted by BabySoulRebel, Mon Jan-05-15 03:55 PM
- no 7 train service from the first/last stop to the very next one
- boss didn't understand at first why my train commute is limited to just the 7 train (ain't shit else that runs out here!!!)

but I stuck to my resolution of "you/this can't fuck with me. nope, sho can't" and it's been working magic.
12690430, disorganized...
Posted by StephBMore, Mon Jan-05-15 03:59 PM
i know I'm not the most organized but the last few days i have realized how disorganized I am and how i need to use a paper planner to organize things...the phone is cool but i tend not to pick it back up to do enter things i need to do. i need actual lists.

i worked last week so there is no catch up but it's just making sure i have things in order for an audit next week because i'm going to Hawaii the day after the audit so i dont want any loose ends.
12690749, Got a Mingraine(bad one) so I ended up in bed
Posted by ThaAnthology, Tue Jan-06-15 09:32 AM
most of the day... kinda sucked a lil.
12690865, I started my work week on such a ratchet note :-/
Posted by Goldmind, Tue Jan-06-15 11:13 AM
Work was slow, and my college friend was in town from San Francisco, so I met him for dinner in Chelsea at 7pm. I'd promised myself that I would be in bed by 11:30, but because I wanted to show him a good time before he left, I figured that 2 post-dinner drinks in Hell's Kitchen wouldn't hurt. That turned into dancing and a drag show at a spot a few blocks away. I ended up getting home at a vulgar hour, all in the name of being a good host.

When I finally laid down and looked at the clock, all I could think was, "Why is my life like this?" lol :-(

12690876, You brave for a Monday.
Posted by Niq96st, Tue Jan-06-15 11:22 AM
Don't know if I could do anything other than go home and sleep after work on a Monday. Not on no Monday.






12690966, I am a good ass friend. And, right now, a sleepy ass employee.

The crazy thing is that "cool" New Yorkers seem to prefer partying on weekdays rather than on the weekends. I don't know how they do it.
