I took a long break from working out and rehabed my wounded old body and nursed some depression after my job failure in Maryland. I am now trying to find my inner gym rat again...I gained more than I care to admit and generally frustrated. I have a Comic Convention where I wear some silly costumes...one doesn’t fit right now. So I have a goal...

Army injuries, old soccer injuries and generally old age have hurt my motivation to really workout hard any more. I knew in Soccer and the Army that I had to push myself...push through the pain and keep going...keep going...don’t feel the pain. Now everything hurts...and I don’t want to keep going. I want a beer.

My contract is also getting rebid at my work. So this can be creative or painful too. I have to reinterview and fight for my job in hopes I can keep my current salary. Resumes...suits...and handshakes.

Been a frustrating month for Azrek. But next month is the Grand Prix in StPetersburg and then I am shipping out to Ireland to try and replace my blood with Guinness from the source in order to become Immortal (my 3rd attempt at this in Dublin).

Music for your time....

Job failure in Maryland? Shit.

I still see it as a failure. Despite how it all went down...that was my one chance and shot at big time.

I just read your post about it. Bummer. That seems typical for a lot of the DoD stuff where you were working. Shame. It’s not for everyone. I’m the only person in my family that doesn’t work in that field, and every time I think about how much money I could be making there, I also remember the work stories they have about bums drawing a DoD check.

Wegmans was the greatest thing I’d seen in awhile though. That place at least made me happy.

I am still DoD, but a different style and not in management any more. It is difficult to not start yelling at people some days. Money is good...but eh...

That whole album is really good. During the winter, I don’t drink during the week since I know I’m exercising less. Not sure if you can apply that/something similar but it seems to help.

Oh I rarely drink during the week. I just sit at a desk all day then go home and sit at my desk to kill digital things for hours then goto bed. THEN I drink on the weekends like a thirsty fish.

Yea...that resonates pretty well. Sometimes I’ll work out in between Civ 5 turns but really I just need some warmer weather.
