So, long story short, we suspected my department/project manager had started drinking at work the past few weeks. Several coworkers and I could smell whiskey on him after his frequent trips to his car. He eventually started bringing it into the office and his whole area smelled of alcohol. My colleague and I met with our company's owner (and VP) yesterday to discuss our suspicions and concerns. The VP actually suspected the PM got hooked on drugs after he injured himself back in August by falling off a chair at a conference and hitting his head. Either way it was a situation that was escalating too fast and causing problems. Both my colleague and I were out of the office today. She worked from home and I was skiing. But I got an email from the VP stating that he let Kevin go this afternoon. While I hate watching somebody lose their job, I don't feel bad and I don't feel guilty because he brought this own himself. In the meantime, roles are going to shift, exactly how is something that the VP and I will discuss on Monday. But I do know as the senior person in the group, which is now just 2 of us, I will be taking on more responsibilities of the department/project manager role. So, these next few weeks and maybe months are going to be long learning curves for me. I am both nervous, anxious, and excited. And while I owe a lot to this person who was just let go, I have worked with him for 11ish years, he has also been a negative energy in my life. But I appreciate everything he has taught me in our field.

Just a little humor. This is my youngest Avery and she is a HOT MESS BAD AS SHIT FUNNY AS ALL HELL TRAIN WRECK almost 16 month beautiful girl. She thinks she is hiding and playing peek a boo Don't mind my voice but we did it like 100000x . Just a little light to the week and to not take things so seriously all the time

First ski of the season in for me. I went to Hunter, NY to hit the slopes today. It felt really good to get some fresh air and do something I love. I got 5 runs in over the course of 1.5 hours. There was nobody at the mountain so I was able to ski right onto the lift. By run 4, my quads were killing me and by my last run, they were on fire. But it felt really good to hit the slopes!

Omg all those reps were brutal especially one back exercise was 4×15 which is 60 × 3 which is 180 reps for basically one move 🥵 I was a bit optimistic with 15lb weights for that move and then went down and couldnt finish all the reps.

I think I am going to skip today’s workout. I have a headache that just won’t go away. So I am going to use the time to rest and maybe do a little stretching.
