1600's

well i am now fully ensconced in the new job. well - fully insofar as i haven't met anyone that i will be working with or seen my office or done any work. i got to leave work at 4.56 yesterday!!!!! and looks like an early close today as well. lucky really given that a full day of computer training really takes it out of you. i am glad i have done this sort of thing before because otherwise i reckon i would really struggle.

and before i go into details about this mornings running i have to express my utter horror about something that happened to me on sunday night. i had gone to bed pretty early and half woke around 10pm thinking i had to get up for some reason. then i felt something that felt like a necklace slipping down my neck. only i didn't have a necklace on. it was really cold and i flicked it from out of my pj top and it went next to my bed. then i was still half asleep and turned the light on to look. couldn't see anything. moved something that was on the floor and there was a MASSIVE COCKROACH that had been crawling down my neck while i slept!!!!!!!! ohmigod!!!!!!!

so needless to say i was then awake. now i only get about one cockroach every few months which is not bad for sydney - but really - what are the odds of it getting into my bed!! anyway i went nuts with the surface spray so may poison myself but i won't be getting any (unwanted) sneaky nightime visitors. ughhhh.

ok now the running. went to sweat this morning and had 3x1600m on the program. managed to do it despite wanting to quit at 1200 in the 3rd one. my times were 8.58, 8.46 and 9.14. i obviously went out way too hard in the second one... mostly cause sean was joking that i didn't look like i was trying hard enough! i was!! i just smile instead of grimace (how weird is that?).

now am sitting waiting for training to commence at 9am... today we are covering the style guide for long documents, the firm specific outlook and telephone and voicemail... yeeha...
