Hey guys, I’ve ended my self imposed hiatus over at Bodies in Motivation – I’ve got a new post up there about getting back to Crossfit.
“Come to the 7pm class – given today’s workout, you’re probably better off with the beginner class”
Is that not the scariest email ever? Being told that the nature of the workout is so hard that you need to start back at the beginning? I didn’t even have time to get my ego in a huff, because when the coach at Crossfit tells you to be afraid: dude, be afraid.
In other news:
I had to take a new corporate head shot and, seriously, there is NOTHING that makes me feel as big a dork as doing that, and I always look about 13 years old and playing dress up, which, as you can probably guess, is exactly the look I am going for. (Not really.)
(Relatedly, I showed up at a meeting with a client last year and my client’s boss looked at me and said “I didn’t realize I was paying for interns!” I. Died. More accurately, me and my master’s degree DIED. I have always been the youngest person on any team I’ve been on, and that was fun in my early 20s because everyone was always happy to mentor and teach me but I’m getting to the point where I’m tired of being the little girl in the group. Which is why I was happy to see my first gray hair, because, seriously, people. Intern? Bite me.)
(Also relatedly, my company accidentally removed me from the Outlook exchange [something about switching me to the Denver office from the Arlington office apparently…deleted me? For a few days. Or so I am told.] Anyway, they promise me it was a mistake, but I still had a few Office Space-esq moments where I was all “Maybe they were just correcting a payroll mistake and I don’t actually work here anymore? Uh oh.” This was all punctuated by no less than 4 phone calls from people asking me why I didn’t tell them I was quitting, and honestly, by the end of the day I half believed I was no longer employed. [I am employed. Um, as far as I know.])
And in conclusion, it would appear that “relatedly” is not actually a word. So! That’s my Friday. Enjoy your weekend, everyone.

Oh man oh man. I would be having MAJOR panic attack problems if I were removed from my work email! Whew.
Also, I have to commiserate about the youth thing. I constantly have people assuming I’m a student — grad student or even an undergrad, I DIE — at work all the time. I know I look young, ish, but I do not dress like a student. I dress up, very much on purpose, just to avoid this problem. Sigh.
