- I have another niggle in my back, this time my right upper back. Luckily the lower back agony has gone. I think I am carrying my stress in my muscles. I need a bloody good massage.
- I went for a run on the tready before work – am going pretty fast but only running for 20 min blocks. I have entered SIS1, so I will get a good run in. It is 8.5km. I am hoping for sub 54 mins….. My PB for 8km previously was 54 mins. I am really rapt that Andrew may be able to run with me….hope he won’t get bored at my slowness….
- My beautiful resident from Paraguay is back. I love her. She is really nice, and has her head screwed on well. She also bought back sweeties from Argentina (sounds like a good name for a Record or something).
- I am working this weekend. I am sick of work already and this is only day 2 of 12. I will be keeping early nights, and thinking of the cashola.
- at work, I don’t know whether to STFU or speak my mind (always diplomatically of course)….My psychologist lady has spoken to me about assertiveness and I am assertive but then I always get uncomfortable afterward……dammit, I just want everyone to like me, but I am coming to accept that this is impossible and I just have to be myself. (OMG that last bit sounded so neurotic).
- I am addicted to sweet chilli grain waves. They are yum.
- I am so happy that Kathryn is going to Japan – she will be there when I will be there and we can sing Karaoke together! Yay! Ian will be there to make sure we are not taken advantage of in our drunken state by Japanese businessmen.

What is your current 10km PB? I have to pace you to a PB, otherwise I’ll feel like a failure. Still gotta work out the number changeover thing.
My experience is that drunken business men are way too polite to take advantage of anyone! As far as the assertiveness I would say pick your battles- the ones that matter- I asked one of the bosses at work not to call me Girlie yesterday.
Drunken Japanese businessmen are the worst… or sober ones on crowded trains!
I’ve been thinking of the money too lately… doing extra work on top of the day job so it feels like it never ends but worth it for payday. Have been meaning to send you this link also – http://www.tofugu.com/2009/08/17/japanese-language-cheatsheet-for-travelers/
