Gym Observations Redux

Ok. First off, I don't consider my experiences at the gym as "bad".

They fall more upon the lines of "weird" and down right "icky".

I'm sure there will be more to come... I plan on using the swim pool in the coming weeks, and I'm sure there will be odd occurrences happening there. Or at the hot tub, or the weight machines. LOL

As of today, I've officially lost 11 lbs in the past 3 weeks. These are the easy pounds. Once I lose 20, it starts to get a lot harder.

Work sux. Big time.

Awhile back I bitched about how my work load was about to increase big time with me having to coordinate the installation of eighteen OC-12 data circuits.

Fuck. Me.

That number has increased to appx. (30) now. And, it's no longer coordination that I'm performing, but the overall project management of all of them. My group is the only group that has complete visibility of the circuit from one end to the other. So, I have to track each individual piece of each circuit, along with ordering a few pieces and ensure that they are progressing along and keeping within the time line.

Oh, and I get to ensure that the design is right, and correct it if it isn't. Arghh... Going through an OC-12 piece-by-piece and ensure all the pieces are connecting is going to be a bitch. Companies just don't have spare OC-12s hanging around waiting. So, that's another thing I get to watch. If the company doesn't have an OC-12 available, they may have to build that capacity into their network. So if there is a build required, I get to track that as well.

Am I bitching? Yeah, just a little. Feeling a little overwhelmed right now. I do know, that if I perform well, and this project goes off with few hitches (there will be hitches, always are with OCN circuits), that I should receive a lot of recognition from high places, which I could probably transform into a raise / promotion.

We'll see I guess.
