back to work - the fun never stops

At like 3 o'clock today, I starting feeling sharp pains in my body - like, above my armpits. I figured it wasn't a heart attack since it wasn't in my chest. Then I took note of my position - hunched over the keyboard, chin jutting out, frantically typing on a presentation that was due before the end of the day - and realized that merely 7 business days after I returned to work, I had let the job get the best of me.

Before I went back, I told myself (and many others, as a matter of fact) that I wasn't going to go back and work like crazy. I was going to take a lunch break every day and make sure I didn't stress out. Well... I've been sort of successful on the lunch break thing but I wish it involved more than getting up from my chair, going outside, and sitting my fat ass down at the picnic tables. Especially since the picnic tables were built with someone other than humans in mine. This is where an engineer would come in really handy. My friend's husband is an engineer and I think he's designed some furniture - I can't remember what kind of engineer that is though. Racking my brain. But it's too full of work stuff. Industrial?

So, the pains set in, I did a lap around the cubes, came back to my desk, and finished up. Looked up, it was 5:01, and left.

I did a run/walk today, a 2.7 mile look, and feel much better. I think I'll do this every day. The run/walk. Not the excessive hunching, to the point of having body pains.
