Yoga

Last night was for smug yoga, which of course means I was slightly missing the point but whatever. It was a good class and I attempted crow for the first time which was hilarious. Tonight was a double header: Deep Stretch and a Basic Flow with a new teacher. The Deep Stretch class had a substitute and she was hard core (also my second favorite teacher ever). I almost canceled my plans for the second class after the first. Lots of down dogs, tons of lunges, warrior poses, dynamic squats, crow again (still hilarious) followed by the second class filled with sun salutations, which mean my shoulders are going to ache in the morning (but I accomplished a cobra from plank without collapsing onto the mat before lifting up) and my first time achieving camel. My heels hit the mat in down dog for the first time, too, probably because I turned into a noodle at some point. Endorphins! I'm exhausted but seriously happy yo'.

Downloaded the new Queens of the Stone Age album. I'm a bit in love. Previewed the new Barenaked Ladies (eh. I didn't feel compelled to buy) and the new Julian Lennon (I like it best when he sounds like his dad.) but mostly spent the day listening to... well, meetings and people on the phone but in between QofSA. There's a new Yeah Yeah Yeah's album coming out too (or maybe has already come out?) I downloaded a song from Starbucks but need to check out the whole album.

Work was workish. Solved a problem. Had a couple of meetings. Was properly directed by my new supervisor :D :D She's awesome. Have I mentioned? Of course, I realized today (by the second or third email) that she's actually going to expect things from me, which will be a completely new experience.

Bed now. Have I mentioned exhausted? And likely unable to lift my arms in the morning (hopefully just enough to apply coffee liberally).

CAMEL ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED \o/ You should be seriously happy. And I have coffee, come and get it.

Was totally excited! though I think it's part of what tweaked my back :( Shall have to work more slowly into it.

Oh did you see the new Zooniverse update? More Serengeti!

I hope your new supervisor is great, or at least comfortable and supportive.

My new boss protested that we're colleagues and said how much he appreciated me giving him notice about vacation. Yay?

I did see the Zooniverse update! The first ten or so I did were all grass waving in the wind. I haven't been back yet. Last time I missed the season completely. It was gone so fast.

My new supervisor is pretty awesome, actually. I've known her for years and she's such a kind person, and so smart. I think I'll really enjoy working for her (and she will definitely make me work! which is a good thing since the last guy expected a lot but wasn't supportive in the least about it.)

Do people not give notice about vacations? What what? We have to give them by quarter, generally, so typically up to three months advance warning.
