Ok, Blogger is acting up

Ok, Blogger is acting up this morning. I lost my previous post.

Anyway. My work schedule has been very strange lately. It's of my own doing, but still strange.

I get twenty days of vacation each year. I know that's a lot, and it's certainly one of the benefits of working for the government. Because my work is rarely time-critical, and because I like to travel, I strongly believe in using every iota of vacation time I have...and sometimes more. This year I've already overcommitted myself by a couple days. As a result, I'm always trying to earn a credit hour here and a credit hour there so that I can minimize the amount of annual leave I have to take. When Mom was visiting, I worked some strange (re: early!) hours in order to be able to spend more time with her without taking vacation. And recently, I took off almost 16 hours to go to Atlanta, but thanks to my weird scheduling, I only had to use 5.5 annual leave hours.

And all that is a complicated way of explaining why I was here last night until 6:30.

I went home prepared to exercise. It was murderously humid outside, so despite thinking about taking a bike ride (inspired I'm sure by the Tour de France) I decided to elliptical. Alas, alack, one machine was taken and the other was out of order. So instead, I did Dance, Dance Revolution for 40 minutes. ;) I know, I know. It really was a good workout though.
