Weak sleep, which is terrible because I’m sore as hell in the upper back, chest, shoulders and hamstrings. Will need to sleep extra long tonight and I can’t wait for it.<\/p>\n
Off day. Meaning no training, not no work. I’m here in the non-secret office and it’s raining torrentially outside. Normally I like that. But today I’m a dark cloud. I hate my office environment and the chitchat of worker bees. I work in a private area away from them, but I hate it still. I was never intended for office work.<\/p>\n
I remember when I was little I had already sworn off office work, without even having experienced what it entailed. I probably saw a movie or a TV show in which the character described why office life was so shitty, and I probably agreed with everything I heard. And now that I’ve experienced it fully in two different countries across 7-8 years or so, most of my preconceived notions have been confirmed. I’ve worked in the most formal of formal offices at a major multinational corporation, and here, which is probably among the least “formal”– despite pressure being quite high on a daily basis, depending on what your responsibilities are.<\/p>\n
I’m in town for the week and then leave on Sunday for Milwaukee, my first time there. The lab is being held at a resort on the banks of Lake Michigan and I’m looking forward to it, I think. The world’s leading conflict scholars and practitioners are getting together to collaborate on bringing some of their projects to life. I’m happy I was invited. I hope they have a gym, but if not, there’s Lake Michigan and my 195lb body.<\/p>\n
It’s tough to have a day off of training.<\/p>\n
Have a great Moondelg and I’ll catch you tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
