Thursday is the new Monday

Ugh... woke up later than I wanted to today (5:45) and didn't get to the gym until around 6:45 :( but it doesn't even matter because I went to the gym and that's what counts. So I did my workout, left the gym by 8, and then headed to Maryland for work. And right when I got off of 495 at Old Georgetown Rd, I realized I forgot my work badge at home. I normally get to work by 8 at the latest and now it's 8:30, and I have to go all the way back to McLean, get my badge, and come all the way back. Because I have to have my badge to log into my computer at work.
Worst. Thursday. Ever.


But so far, it's been going good. I've been busy training staff members on some new tools we've rolled out last week and people seem to be very receptive. Except if someone tells me I should be a teacher again I might punch them. I have a bioengineering degree for a reason. I don't want to be a teacher.


Last week, at breakfast the morning after Valentine's Day, Jason and I overheard some people talking at the table next to us about a bioengineering company called Exmovere (latin for "emotion"). Of course, we immediately took out our iPhones and looked it up! It's located in Tysons!! Sweet!! So close. And the man sitting at the table making the pitch to the Koreans is the President and CEO! So we creepily hung around outside of the restraunt after we were done waiting for them to be finished. When they were, I went up to him and introduced myself and I think I made a really good impression! Somewhat stalkerish, maybe, but maybe that comes off as determined??? I hope so.


Last night after work, I went over to Jason's house and we took the Kaiah Bear for a walk/jog/run. My legs were starting to be sore from going to the gym 2 days in a row (I guess I'm not used to it yet) but I still felt really great about it! Thank goodness I am blessed with such an awesome boyfriend because he definitely pushes me to do the best I can and keep going even when I think I'm spent. Plus, he puts up with my non-stop whining. I LOVE HIM!


Anyways, gotta grab lunch (I'm thinking super healthy salad?) and prep for training round 2 this afternoon!
