Work work work

Three updates on work-related topics:

1. I finally got my badge which means that I can head down to the FREE gym at work. Which is fantastic…..except that I just heard that all three treadmills are broken and have to be sent back to the manufacturer. There are still weights, a bike, and an elliptical machine but I was thinking that I would just walk for 30 minutes during lunch a couple times a week to supplement my workouts at night.*

2. I start my new rotation next week. I am very excited as it is in one of the areas I am most interested in. The division is woefully understaffed, so it looks like I am going to have A LOT to do which is great. I’m always up for learning new things!

3. Yesterday I met with my boss and during our conversation she mentioned my upcoming possibility of a promotion as if it was a given! As in, come the middle of February, there is no question in her mind that I will be getting a promotion AND a huge pay raise. WOO HOO!


*We start the trainer tonight which should be interesting. We decided to go with once a week because as soon as we booked 8 sessions with her, the club raised the price to $50 a person per session (jumping an astounding $30 a session!). :-( Obviously something we can't afford right now so we are going to have to make the most out of these 8 sessions!

$30 buck more per person? That's ridiculous! I should totally do that. I'll say to people: "Yeah, it only costs like...2 dollars for me to come over to your house." And they'll be totally in because they like me AND it's cheap. And then when I'm there I'll say "Hey, it costs $100 to make me leave." Winner Winner, Chicken Dinner.

Wow. Those training sessions are really expensive. It's awesome that your work provides a place to work out. I know some newsrooms have them for their employees, but mine is not one of those. Boo.
