LMS has brought new stress; therefore new toys

(A few general ramblings below.)

My LMS is hopefully piloting on Tuesday of next week. I’ve got a couple of things I want tweaked before I send it out, but am getting very hopeful. Not to mention I can feel the fire of many dragons just at the nape of my neck to get it out.

All is very stressful when you have so many tasks before you to complete and your work computer is twice as slow as your home computer. That doesn’t seem quite right, however, it may push me towards working in my pjs more often. I’m not sure that’s a horrible idea. (It is hard not to picture anyone who says they work at home sitting in front of their computer in flannel pajamas, bunny slippers and coffee right?…mine aren’t bunny shaped though).

It’s also hard to keep motivated to come into work when the weather has taken a turn for the better. It’s been a long, long, cold winter….this proves I’m getting old; I never use to complain about the snow. Seeing the sun com back was invigorating. The weather also then got warmer and many of us Ontario folks have been in shorts this week. This makes it all very hard to want to stay behind the computer instead of getting up and going.

I have for some bizarre reason decided to really get moving and have taken up running (I don’t advise this….every time I go out I wonder what the heck I was thinking). I’ve also started walking every day there has been sun. So far that’s been for a few weeks. I’m guessing on of my new toys to purchase is going to be a new umbrella and rubber boots for the rainy days.

Another sign I’ve been stressed is I went out and got an iPod Touch instead of buying things that I really need (like bunny slippers to work in). Hense the NikeWomen widget at the side of my blog. I’ll leave it there for a bit – I know it stretches the blog and I apologize for that to those that need to scroll left/right now. Seems like a neat little workout tool, tracker, etc. gadget to add to my Touch and I’m happy to find/join anyone else who wants a “buddy” using this app. It looks like you can utilize this directly through your computer as well. Give me a shout through twitter and I’d be happy to link up with you and get moving together. Oh an it says NikeWomen, but you can make your avatar look boyish too.

This has been a strange rambling post, but to summarize I’m looking forward to (in no particular order):

  • more sun
  • more warm weather
  • camping
  • biking in the woods
  • swimming
  • campfires
  • holidays
  • LMS finally working so I can move on to something else
