At my parents

Finished eating Thanksgiving dinner. I went to the New York Health and Racquet Club at Great Neck and was not impressed. It does have a treadmill and that's all I'm using so I have to make do.

I have tomorrow off and it's a paid vacation day. Not sure what to do tomorrow besides going to the gym.

Watching the NFL, Dallas is beating the Seattle Seahawks 31-9 in the 4th quarter.

Still...

Still no work. I just applied to about 10 jobs, most of which require international travel.

Meeting with a recruiter at 6:30pm. Intriguing job in Plainsboro, NJ, for a 40% international traveling pharmaceutical auditor job. I wish I can get that job.

Picked up Theraflu and it still didn't work.

Got my NYHRC temporary ID card, but won't be going back until I am over this cold.

Running class bust

I think I got sick from going to the running class last night. I have to get Theraflu from the Duane Reade during lunchtime in addition to getting my gym documents from NYHRC.

I signed up for a Tuesday and Thursday 6:30 Advanced Intermediate running class at NYRR. The last two times I was there including last night, I only lasted a mile before heading back.

That's why I joined the NYHRC to get back into running shape. I used to run 6 miles at one time and not feel so winded! I have to get back to that shape!

I am going to train on my own for the next three weeks and then go back to the running class. I have to train in order to be a part of the running class.

Day of rest

Back at work, the guy I mainly report to is out today so I have the rest of today to slack off.

I wonder if I will be like the consultant whose office I sit in. We have an office that we share. She's been here since last September, that's over a year of consulting. That would mean every week for over 52 weeks I would need to ask my manager to sign my timesheet. I wonder if I can stand that long. I get paid a lot as a consultant, 1.5 times plus I get overtime so maybe I do want to stay a consultant.

I already joined New York Health and Racquet club. It was $102 a month for 2 years. It's better than Equinox which was $170/a month with a $250 initiation fee. I will not spend over $150 for a gym. It was $139/a month for one gym. That's outrageous.

There are locations in Whitehall and Great Neck, so I can go there when I visit my parents or am at work. I am not sure which location is closest, 45th and Lexington or 50th and Madison. Probably 45th Street. I will check that out tonight after my tax appointment at 6:45pm.

Did I mention that I did a woman's personal financial statement at work in less than 10 minutes? I charged her $150. I wish I can find more clients like hers. They take less time than meeting a tax client which takes about an hour to get there and then 15 minutes of talking to them. I am going to get a phone line in January just in case I can get fax clients.
