Working Out and My Business Atmosphere

I know, I have been horrible. I have two entries that are almost done sitting in the saved file and haven't gotten around to finishing them for publication. I will get today's entry out and then we can focus on the ones that I left in the dust last week. :( I hope that everyone had a good weekend. I did.

So---my new thing is that I'd like to be able to wake up early to run or go to the gym, just so that I actually use my gym membership and also get the most time out of my day, since often I have afternoon activities that prevent me from being able to go to the gym or do anything actually, other than said activity. This idea of me waking up early has been a source of constant struggle for---well, since as long as I've had a real job and everything. Very annoying.... So----I am trying this again. I asked advice from Aliza b/c I know that when she's at school she wakes up early to do working out things and I asked her how she motivates herself to do it. I tried this on Friday and I also tried it this morning. The thing was that it wasn't even that I was too tired to get up and do it, I just didn't want to. I'd rathey lay in bed, even though I hadn't been sleeping well both nights and totally just should have woken up to do the damn workout. I opted to just continue to lay there for another hour or so. I attribute this to the fact that I hadn't had a good sleep. Last night I slept horribly. I would wake up like every hour hoping it was time to get up b/c I was so NOT sleeping well. Anyway....I really tried to rationalize why I should get up, but to no avail.

Maybe tomorrow---

This weekend was cool. Very relaxing and chill. I hung out with Jaxx and her cousins on Friday night. We went to the Guggenheim and then out to dinner on the east side. Never go to "Bella Cucina" on 87th and Lex. It was really not that good. Or at the very least, don't ask for extra cheese on your pizza or you will ONLY get cheese.

Saturday, I slept in, then I went to lunch with Junette---always a good time! We went to Serafina and I had gnocchi, delish. Then she walked me downtown a bit to like 73rd or something and we had gelato that was yummy and not like out of control expensive! It was so quality!

Saturday night I hung out with LB, Katie and the rest of the crew at that house, JC, Derek and Kate. We drank and hung out and eventually went out in Murray Hill somewhere. Katie and I stayed later at the bar while others went to another place instead and caught up. We randomly saw Jacob Friedman and then I called Daniel Lichterman and left him a message when I was drunk about how I saw Jacob. This was a bad story/reinactment and I apologize.

Sunday, Scott was up from Philly with his wife, who was going to a bridal shower. We had brunch, and hung out for a while. It was quality Lauren and Scott time. :) I had a great time! Then I had Lauren day---where I took a nap, cleaned, organized, and ate.

Something else I've learned in this industry: Guys really never mature that much and most of the girls are bitches. For the most part, the dudes, are totally immature and not funny. They think their jokes are funny and that they are so cool cause of their jobs and their money. I hate most of them. Also, many of the girls are like wanna-be/or actually are rich snobs. They aren't "real" or "cool" they just try to hard and aren't friendly or nice. Why aren't people nice? I think I'm in the wrong profession. I mean, I really try and be nice to everyone but there are just some girls that like AREN'T!!!! Even when I've been nothing but nice to them and stuff, it's so strange. I can't handle it. Then I end up hating them b/c they suck so much.

One thing that I just saw go down---ok, let's keep a few things in mind:

1. this person works with a woman who was moved from one office to another b/c of sexual harrassment stuff
2. this person just went though a mandatory seminar about behavior in the workplace

then god....why would you look at pictures of naked women in the office in front of people who could see your screen?!?!?!

I could clearly see his screen. I am actually really furious about this and I'll tell you why.

1. I was moved from the philly office b/c of sexual harrassment and it SUCKS being a woman/girl and having to deal with that shit at work, trust me.
2. I'm not a fem-bot or anything, but there is a time and a place for porn, and it is NOT at work
3. No one will tell on him b/c everyone loves him and anyway management has favorites, although if it was reported to HR, he would be canned. I think I saw him email a picture too---which means he'll totally be canned if he's caught.
4. Can't people control their urges? Grow up mother fucker! Get a life!
5. These people succeed in their jobs and like eveyone loves them even though most of these people are scum bags, including this guy who I liked up until this moment.


Tonight I'm going to see Rocky with Jess in Bryant Park, it's the last night of their film festival. We are going to get take-out and I baked cookies. I can't wait! Hopefully it's nice out!

Have a great day!

Love,
Lauren
