Luci Interview Update

Right as I sat down to write this, exhaustion decided to set in. It has been a long, emotionally full day. I had my Luci interview today down in Chicago. The day started off bad because the alarm on my crappy Pixel phone decided not to go off. Again. It always decides it wants to do this on the most important day. Last time, it was when Manfred was picking me and Emily up for the airport. The timing literally could not be worse. And the damn thing even says "Upcoming alarm 7:15am" AFTER the fact, then will suddenly say "Missed alarm." Stupid piece of...

Anyway. The interview went really well. I'd say really well (Brandy was like my personal cheerleader and the Executive Creative Director loved me), except for the end kind of messed that up. I asked them to let me know if I was not their candidate of choice and that I couldn't move my start date for my other job, but I could push back my move date; and they all went completely silent. It became really awkward and it ended on that note. Even Brandy, who had been in my corner up until then, became really weird. I don't know if I phrased my request weirdly or if they weren't a fan of what I said. Or maybe they were just processing it. Anyway, it wasn't the best way to end it, but I don't think it would offset everything else in the interview.

I'm optimistic but realize that the time constraints might ultimately fight against me. They may not be ready or willing to make a decision so quickly, and I won't have a choice but to go with plan A.

Running update - 2 miles achieved!

The Monkey Bar Gym has been closed during the week because of Summerfest, which means all my krav and boxing classes have been cancelled. My muay thai instructor and I talked about doing some outdoor exercises in its place; but it was nearly 100 degrees with full sun and incredibly high humidity these past 3 days, so that was out. In fact, I went for a walk on my lunch break on Friday afternoon and felt sick for the rest of the day from the heat. I was hoping then to get some hiking, running, or rocking climbing in on Saturday or Sunday, and to make it to a krav or hot yoga class on Sunday; but none of these things worked out. The heat prevented me from being able to do any outdoor activities, and no one was able to go rock climbing with me. Saturday I went up to Baraboo with Jennifer Koss to do some hiking and swimming at Pewit's Nest, but because it was so hot, we didn't end up doing a lot of the former. But I got home so late and was so exhausted from the heat (also, my shou...

Pole update: layback achieved!

I finally got my cross-ankle layback tonight! I wore my new Wonder Woman shorts so I'd have more grip in my thighs and followed the advice from a blog I recently read, which said to go into it from a reverse Superwoman. It worked! I was able to get it every time except for once, when I think it wasn't close enough to my crotch. And then because I was able to get the layback, I was able to work on bow and arrow and got it on the first try. After that, it was pretty easy to keep doing it (especially since my leg grip was so good). Also, my flag is looking better. I can raise both legs now pretty horizontally and hold them there for a while on both sides.  BOOYAKASHA!

Daily Journal

したこと: - Found out someone at work was trying to groom me to cheat on his wife with him, something he's tried before with other women at work, unsuccessfully.  - Had to sign paperwork with my boss in the room stating that I understand employees are allowed to have relationships with each other (I never questioned that) after someone claimed I made a statement I never did after they themselves made many compromising statements. Awkward situations abound now. But everyone has to work professionally and deal, and I better than anyone can do that.  - My boss handled the situation neutrally and incredibly respectfully. I felt incredibly supported by her in that moment and like she handled it very well. I appreciated her skills as a leader in that situation and am grateful. She closed the situation graciously.  - She also graciously checked in on my workload. It was one of the moments that made me remember when Christine actually felt like a great boss when I really liked workin...
