dyk, today's lunch went about as well as it could. No one said anything really worthwhile...people are mad about pay, promotion timing, etc. All things that can't be changed.

dyk, same old, same old. At least he heard us and talked to us.

dyk, I'm not expecting much to come out of it.

dyk, my co-worker gave her 2 week notice today. Then she was in with the VP she's closest to for about 2 1/2 hours tonight. I didn't get a chance to talk to her, but I'm wondering if she changed her mind at all.

dyk, while she was talking to him, I was talking to our VP. I actually sort of brought up the question of how my bosses position was going to be handled and that yes, as a matter of fact I WOULD like it.

dyk, she flat out told me that the job was mine when I feel that I'm ready for it. Which means, she flat out lied to me. If I told her I was ready effective September 1st, IT WOULD NOT HAPPEN. We do NOT have off-cycle promotions. The HEAD OF BOSTON explained that to us clear as day.

dyk, I'm going to be updating my resume and I'm going to start looking...I hear our competitor pays the level below my current level $10K more a year than I'm currently making.

dyk, in other happier news, I'm doing amazing with going to the gym

dyk, I was going 6 days a week before, now I'm down to 5. Not that that's bad, but I'm going to try and get there tomorrow. And I'd like to actually get there early enough not to feel rushed.

dyk, I've pretty much set myself up for being unhappy if I 'run' less than 3.1 miles a day...I've exceeded that 4 out of 5 days - 2 days I even made it to 4 miles!

dyk, my eating hasn't been great the last few days, but the scale has actually moved down...the lowest I've seen in WAY to long.

dyk, I *might* make it to my goal before busy season starts...on November 1st.
