OH HI. I ghosted after my last challenge. It was a really busy time, I was really stressed out. let me recap: * mid-april - when I was here last - had a great birthday. * the guy I was working on this huuuuuuge proposal with got his dream job and checked out. * I had to finish the proposal by myself and it was horrible and fraught. Submitted early May! * deep breaths. * ok let's do the regular day job you've been putting off for 6 weeks to get this proposal done. * oh right, there's a presentation requirement for the proposal. DO THE THINGS. present mid-May. * questions from client come in and each one is a stomach-in-throat adrenaline-fueled party of second guessing all the decisions we'd made previously. lather rinse repeat, for 2 weeks. * oh wait I have to go to denver for business trips? for 2 days one week, and 3 days the next week? oh, ok. AAAH. * oh, it's june. NOW can I catch up at work? at home? personal things? no? try anyway? it's been a lot. a whole lot. through this whole time I've still been teaching tkd and taking my cross-fit classes (did I mention that he started as functional fitness and then got his cross-fit certification/franchise? so I accidentally am now doing cross-fit?) (oh except for those 2 weeks in denver). I miiiiiissssssss youuuuuuuuuu. I'm dealing with the inevitable fall-out of having worked so hard for months, and I've got what I hope is just a summer cold making my throat feel dreadful. I'm working from home today and didn't make it to exercise party for thursday and friday last week (which HUGELY bummed me out because I'm an overachiever). how are you all? I can't wait to pop over to your threads to see!

It wasn't a wardrobe malfunction but I've been driving to work in my light gray and bright orange Vibrams and then changing into brown shoes. Got to the parking lot yesterday and reached over for my brown shoes and they were not there. Instead they were in my kitchen at home. sThe staffing agency only allow tennis shoes on Fridays and will send you home if you are not in compliance with the dress code. I managed to see 3 people who could have sent me home but no one said anything. I don't think I'll drive to work in my Vibrams for a while. It's hard to stay at your desk all day! Anyone else have a wardrobe miscalculation to share - grabbed the wrong piece of clothing in a rush, etc?
