This upside-down eating thing I've been trying is working really well, at least from the 'how I feel' standpoint. I'm eating my lunch during my first break, and my snacks at lunch and maybe my second break. And I'm generally eating earlier on my days off, rather than seeing how long I can hold out 'til I'm starving. I feel a hell of a lot better. I don't know if it's going to have any effect on my weight, but seeing as how I'm not eating any more that I was before I'm not sure how it could.
Call volume is surprisingly low today. That's nice.

mysticknyght has posted an assload of quizzes from various sources; you can look them up if you want. Anyway...

I get occasional emails from him, usually jokes or interesting picture forwards and the like.

Earth, Wind, and Fire; the Doobie Brothers, Donna Summer, whatever was popular at the time.

I don't think it would help matters.

Oh, and this one:
#E6E6FA |
Your dominant hue is blue, making you a good friend who people love and trust. You're good in social situations and want to fit in. Just be careful not to compromise who you are to make them happy. Your saturation level is very low - you have better things to do than jump headfirst into every little project. You make sure your actions are going to really accomplish something before you start because you hate wasting energy making everyone else think you're working. Your outlook on life is bright. You see good things in situations where others may not be able to, and it frustrates you to see them get down on everything. |
