LAW CLERK FOR HIRE....
First off congrats to both Elizabeth, Jeff and all the other RBFers who ran the Boston Marathon yesterday. I have no idea whether or not I will ever run MY marathon but if I do, it will be inspired by your successes, through which I live vicariously.
I had a wonderful Easter weekend with my Sis Wendy and Brother-In-Law David at the lake near Picton, ON. Perahps too much wine, perhaps too much food but definately lots of love and support. I am truly blessed to have them in my life. I owe them both so much. I also got to visit briefly on Sunday with my Mom and my little Sis Carolyn and her Family.
Now with the Lord risen and the Angel of Death safely passed by, can we pray for the resurrection of Scott's sorry ass career?
I am utterly frustrated by the whole mess and worse, I'm driving myself crazy composing the perfect fuck
you resignation letter in my head which I know that I absolutely cannot send. OMG I just so badly want to do a Norma Rae and tell the lot of them to KISS MY CONSIDERABLE ASS! Trust me, the performance would be Oscar worthy! 
Or, I could do Fantine from Les Miserable who, just before she dies on stage, sings, "I had a dream that my life would be something other than this Hell I'm living..."
Anyway, enough of that nonsense. The miracle in all of this is that not only have I not smoked (23 weeks on Monday), I don't even remotely feel like I'm in danger of doing so. This is progress for me and I own it as such.
And more good news before signing off: I had the best workout on the treadmill last Fridy that I've had in a long time - 4 strong, pain free miles (though my back was grabby all day afterwards). And after taking the weekend off and suffering through a sleepless night last night, I did a respectable 3 mile workout this morning. 4 miles on the sched. for Wednesday and Thursday.
Like icing on the cake, I walked home from the office both yesterday and today which (coming home) is about 1.75 miles on a gradual uphill rise from Lake Ontario.

Glad you're back!! Sounds like you had a great weekend and that things are coming together on the fitness front!! Excellent! The job stuff will sort itself out...you'll find another SOON and it will be SO. MUCH. BETTER. Because really, it can't be any worse, right? And GREAT job not smoking. You're AMAZING!!! And thanks for the WW encouragement...it WILL get better...
Glad you had a good holiday! And way to keep up with the workouts, and the not smoking. Both hard to do when you are dissatisfied with your job (I speak from personal experience.)
Hang in there. And write nasty letters. Just don't send them.
Just keep up the running and non smoking and someday you will get that marathon finishers shirt.
Sounds like you had a great Easter weekend.
You'll get your chance to deliver a fantastic resig letter, I'm sure of it!! An excellent job on the workouts! Maybe one year we'll get to run Boston together. What a dream that would be!
Great job on the run!!! Isn't it great to be smoke free???
woohoo on your success with kicking the habit! i'm really impressed, scott. keep it up!
thanks for the shout. i couldn't have pulled off the race without all your support.
23 weeks! Nice job Scott. Way to be on the runs too. Keep it up and before you know it, those 4 mile runs will be easy. I'm looking forward to reading your post where you have a new job that you love. You deserve it. When you find a job you love, everything else will fall into place. Best of luck Scott.
