Jarric Posted Sunday at 09:16 PM Report Share Posted Sunday at 09:16 PM Jarric gets going Last challenge I dropped off for the final 2 weeks - I had a week of work travel and trying to clear my plate, then a week off work which involves quite a bit of driving round the country to do various things (though we did get to drop in to see @DarK_RaideR and to meet the lovely @deftona for the first time, which was an absolute treat). This week has been full of public speaking on top of trying to catch up on absolutely tons of work, but I didn't want that to stop me getting going on this challenge. I will, hopefully, come back and format this post properly at some point in the week, but in the meantime here are the goals. The decisionist Eat 3 pieces of fruit every day. I'm bulking at the moment, and the temptation is to do that through doughnuts and beer (which, to be fair, is a very easy way to eat enough calories to bulk). I have also ended up throwing away too much fruit recently because it's gone off. This goal should ensure that there are at least some vitamins in my diet, and reduce food waste. The hoardsperson Spend no money. I'm spending far too much at the moment, so cutting out all of the discretionary spending would be good, particularly in the months leading up to Christmas. The documancer Read for pleasure every day, unless I'm playing Pathfinder. I've been enjoying reading recently, and I'm on a bit of a classic horror kick, so I'd like to stay on a roll with that. Pathfinder nights are going to be an impossibility for this goal, hence the exemption. The cartographer Paint 5 minis in 5 weeks. I have an ever-growing backlog of lovely minis to paint, so I want to average 1 per week. Last challenge I managed 4 in 6 weeks, which is ok, but let's aim for 5 in 5 this time. The timekeeper Leave work (within 15 minutes of) on time. Inspired by the talk of burnout in the tavern this challenge, I thought this would be a good thing to track. There's a lot going on at my work at the moment, some good, some tough, some who knows, but I don't need to be giving away time I'm not getting paid for. 7 Quote Level 21 Wood Elf Ranger STR: 18 - CON: 22 - CHA: 11 - SAN: 19 - INT: 17 IAgreeWithTank™ "Shit is going down, but I am not." - iatetheyeti Don't say "I don't have enough time", say instead "that's not a priority right now" and see how that makes you feel.

Jarric Posted yesterday at 07:49 PM Author Report Share Posted yesterday at 07:49 PM Monday - W1D1 Yesterday was an interesting day. My work announced a round of redundancies, two from my team and 10 across the business. I sort of knew it was coming, but it obviously put a bit of a weird atmosphere in the air at work. Before work was Crossfit - I worked up to 55kg on clean and jerk; possibly should have gone heavier but it was good practice anyway. Then a boring workout of cycling which was repeatedly interrupted by wall balls (I actually quite enjoyed the session somehow ) At lunchtime I bought a headtorch for morning running as I seem to have lost mine. That spoiled the no-spend goal for the day, but I did leave work close enough to on time. In the evening I crashed on the sofa a bit, cooked chicken fajitas, then crashed again. No reading done, or painting, but I did eat my fruit. 2/4 dailies done. 4 Quote Level 21 Wood Elf Ranger STR: 18 - CON: 22 - CHA: 11 - SAN: 19 - INT: 17 IAgreeWithTank™ "Shit is going down, but I am not." - iatetheyeti Don't say "I don't have enough time", say instead "that's not a priority right now" and see how that makes you feel.

It's 10 specific people who have been chosen for redundancy (or put into a consultation, or what ever the correct term is). They'll have to be given all of the usual options for alternatives, but knowing the list I doubt any of them will be coming back to be honest. 13 hours ago, Artemis Prime said: Sometimes I really enjoy a workout and then when I'm logging it later I have to stop and ask myself, what the heck did I like about this?
