take work calls WHILE WALKING & standing//a's back from camp//raining
"Legally your job has to give you a lunch break, plus two 15-minute breaks. He suggests using those breaks to walk rather than hanging out by the water cooler.
Get a standing desk: Working in a standing position offers multiple benefits including better overall alignment and increased calorie burning. People often slouch or create improper movement pattern when they are sitting.
Your hip flexors are also tightening up, and you are putting more strain on your back, explains Anita Golden, fitness manager at Crunch. Also, because standing is less comfortable than sitting, Golden believes you are less likely to stay in one position for hours.
Take calls on the go: Why not take advantage of cellphone technology? Its a technology that lets us work from anywhere. When you have to be on a work call, if you can, do it while walking -- even better walk OUTSIDE - don't stand there WALK."
maybe offices should be more like ballet studios, except for the computer desk area. just a ballet barre and lots of mirrors. what a wake up call that would be. lol.
had dinner at k's. he made stir fry and left over b-day cake. yum! also last of the mai tai's. watched the movie "the invisible" 2007, its about "near-death" experience. that our soul leaves the body when we are near death and then leaves completely when we die. same for a bird as it is for a human. the movie is about a teenager beaten to near-death and "living" in limbo until his body is found 3 days later. in the movie he recalls everything he saw when "near-dead" and roaming around.
finally ran into the people caring for the animals by the hotel. her name is heather and she does title work in lake m. her dog is a rescue from a town way west of here. can't imagine commuting to lake m just for work. the dog is a border collie/pit mix. it was an outside dog saved from a meth raid several years ago on a property next to the property where they lived. very sweet dog. the one inside the house was left there by the police after the raid and NO ONE came for it and it died in there. disgusting! its two acre zoning, where she lived, she says no one would have heard it. during a raid, the ANIMALS should be either put outdoors or taken in as well. SOMETHING. it should be a LAW. that is outrageous. also a dog door should be mandatory if you have a pet. so animals can get out if necessary. the other feeders of those animals are charlie and sam and some woman who works by restaurants and brings them restaurant food. they are not fixed, so that will be next. she isn't sure he'll go for it because he is older. sometimes older people are against that and sometimes orthodox catholic are against it. unreal. she says his favorite thing to do is sit in the park like setting of his spacious yard and watch the animals play. if they are well-fed, why are they so hungry when i show up though? i told her to put one ml of ivermectin in a large bowl of water, once per month to fight off parasites.
picked up a, camp is over and school begins NOW in north florida as strange as that is. lol. i never adjusted to that. went to ruby tuesday's for burgers and their salad bar - the salad bar is a good deal as long as you don't fill it up on lettuce. one of the guys at work is coughing up blood and going to the doctor for an endoscopy. he's too young for that, but if he eats, that is what happens. i think he's 43. we are interviewing as well, and all the whackiness begins from that every time. have no idea how recruiters who interview people for a living five days per week. yuck. put up with that. one has an expired license. one shows up in the middle of the day without an appointment! two are from waaaaay out of the area. and one of those hasn't even sold his house yet, so why apply now? another has applied here multiple times but never actually makes it to an interview. wth? lol.
c was by and he says that two of the people that we thought were shoved out actually resigned on their own. total madness. reminds me of when over a third of the court reporters i knew, left that completely and went to work doing key punch. similar skill, but no words. no overnight transcripts in the middle of other things going on in your life. even lorif is gone from the field and doing real estate now as well, which is still doing crap anyway. key punch back then paid $15 per hour when court reporting was paying $20 per hour plus page rate. no one cared. lol. keypunch was a flat paycheck. no percentage taken out, full benefits, 401k and a NORMAL work week. amazing the keypunch field didn't get flooded by all the former court reporters switching over to it. lol. i don't think that keypunch is big anymore in USA though because of computers, but who knows. was really shocked how much they made and that was 30 years ago! they should have offered it as one of the alternative certificates at all the cr schools and colleges nationwide or worldwide offering cr because some people have the dexterity and speed, but they can't do the words at any speed. a lot of them are also afraid of being in court (so why go to cr school?) whatever.

I think either standing or sitting for long periods of time is hard on the body when done daily for a long length of time. Moderation is the key.I just read about an eviction they did leaving an animal in the house for days. The neighbor asked what could be done.Just not right.
did the neighbor go in on her/his own? we used to have police officers and sherriff\'s over here who were animal lovers and WOULD go in a window...or call anyone nearby to do so. everything with animals has to be done secretively because it ends up complicated. all you need is ONE asshole. kevin did that to the guy that lived behind us. he left his window and door open for his cats and kevin took a ladder and shut the window and the door because the guy was away. why the hell he told me if anyone went over there he would call the police and its not his house. both cats died. i wish the guy had sued kevin. the guy said he gave another neighbor permission to go inside, and the guy never went over and opened the door back up nor the window. no idea if he had a key or couldn\'t get the window or what. i will never comprehend it. i said it to my cousins and they accused kevin of being sadistic and kevin agreed with them. so why not put him in jail for several years for animal cruelty. you get to see people\'s true colors when it comes to animals.
