At my “real job” I typically either have days where I can be totally in a bubble and not have to talk to anyone (besides via email of course) and days where the entire day seems to be spent in meetings.
Usually, I embrace meeting-filled days because they make the time go by faster, but lately I’ve had to lead some of these meetings. It puts me on edge! It’s not that I am afraid of public speaking, I just hate doing it unless I feell 100% knowledgeable about the subject matter.
So, needless to say, I had some major nerves today, especially since the meeting I had to lead was at the end of the day. It’s a good thing I had delicious food to distract me.
Lunch was the last of my leftover baked risotto.
I’ll miss it. It was good.
During my lunch break I had to run out and buy protein powder. I’ve been meaning to do this for over a week now, but kept putting it off because that stuff is so dang expensive.
At the health food store I picked up this vegan gem.
I consider this to be Crap Free because there aren’t any preservatives and the sugar content isn’t too crazy, but that’s a highly subjective opinion.
This cookie was so frickin’ good. It amazes me sometimes how delicious vegan baked goods can be. If only cheese wasn’t so delicious… I might be swayed.
Well, probably not. Because then I wouldn’t be able to eat this.
Current favorite snack by far. So swirly.
I’m also most likely going to eat this pear on my way home because I clearly enjoy eating in the car.
Even though I don’t have to work at the running store tonight, it’s still going to be a busy evening. I have to ammend my tax return (argh), run a few errands at the mall, and make attempt #2 at running 6.5 miles. I hope I can do it!
Have you done your taxes yet?
I do not miss the days of meetings after meetings, or having a meeting to discuss about what to discuss at the next meeting!
I hired a professional to do my taxes because we owe money
and I want to make sure we get all the deductions we can!
that is a pint sized pear! i could never be vegan, but they do have some delish baked goods, i will agree there!
I already got my tax refund but only because I hire a guy to do my taxes! Good luck on the run tonight!
I did my taxes in January, but couldn’t find my tax documents from last year to submit it online. So it’s been printed out and waiting to be mailed for 2 months…. FAIL.
I keep MEANING to do my taxes, its just so boring that I put it off every year til the last minute. I always say Im not going to, and then I do. Oh well!
I could never go vegan simply because I cant give up cheese.
yogurt, queso, CC–triad of reasons why veganism would be unbearable. i’m all for being non-vegan and still enjoying vegan goodies
My Mother in Law did them for me and I am getting a big refund for once!!! I was pretty pumped to find out!
I used to have tons of meetings at my old job — I don’t miss that!
I did my taxes almost the second I got them. Mine are real easy because I’m single, don’t pay rent or a mortgage, have no children…blah blah blah. So it took no time at all…I also did them so quick cause i needed money!
i love yogurt too…well, i love cheese too, sorry!
regardless, that cookie looks good – u should try to “recreate” the recipe!
I also get extreme nerves when have to do those “leading” things, sucks…taxes are in the process of being done.
I would hate to have to lead a meeting also. No fun.
I totally feel you on the meeting nerves. Sitting in meetings is no biggie but leading them is much more pressure! I’m sure you do awesome though.
Tasty eats!
I completely agree–cheese and yogurt, the two things keeping me from being vegan! YUMMY!
I wish I had days where I could just close myself off and not talk to anyone at work (usually the days when I had a few too many drinks the night before lol) but at my office I am ALWAYS surrounded by people. Luckily we all get along!
gah, NO, we haven’t done our taxes yet!!! I hope we don’t forget :
YES…you can do it!
and i could probs be a vegan if it wasn’t for (a) cheese and (b) yogurt. i can live without the rest, but those two are non-negotiables.
You can TOTALLY do that run!! I am doing 6 miles today so think of us synching each others movements! If I were there, I’d yell at you at tell you to KEEP GOING!! Keep that in the back of your mind
I am the same way with meetings- they stress me out and put me on edge just becase…I don’t even know. But that’s why my Tuesdays are loaded- I am fine speaking in front of people, just…RAAAAAWR.
I could totally be vegan if it wasn’t for Greek yogurt I think. Though I have yet to bake anything vegan myself that tastes as good as vegan goods made by anyone else!
Good luck with your run
I’m the same way about meetings. On one hand, I love them because they really make the day fly by. Unfortunately, I have to lead ALL of the meetings. Sometimes my nerves drive me crazy.
