Blech

So I haven't written in a while. Last week was filled with phase 1 diet-crabbiness. I was irritable and then kept cheating and then felt bad about cheating which made me crabbier and I had no energy and it was just generally unplesant so we went off phase 1 and went right to phase 2 which is very reasonable. I've only lost 2-3 pounds, but then I cheat quite a bit (I'm not good when there is free cookies/cake/taffy etc at work, I can resist at the grocery store, but not 8 hours a day three feet from my desk). I'm not feeling so guilty about cheating, as long as I'm good 90% of the time, and if I have a really bad day then I'll just start again tomorrow. I'll be better once I get back into a consistent exercise rountine (although I don't know how realistic that is since school is starting).

This is my last week at WCMA, then I have a week and a half "off" before school starts (to work on Fulbright and grad. school apps), I'll still be at Agora at night.

Speaking of Agora a couple days ago I had a crazy person threaten to kill me over the phone. He was upset that we couldn't grant him a refund (for $19.95) and then went off about how we were all crooks and then started screaming "you're dead, lady, you're dead" repeatedly, I hung up. Most of the people we deal with are nice and even if we get on occasional irritated, crabby, or rude person, they're usually not verbally abusive. He was an older man and obviously not very stable. I was shaken afterwards, it was the worst phone call ever.

I was trying to end on a happy note. Things are going well at work. My boss told me last week how wonderful I am and she wishes I was here longer and that she had "used" me more (not that she just wants to use me, but I knew what she meant). It's nice to have the positive feedback. I really love the people (and the work) at WCMA. Another motivation to go on for the PhD.
