The last couple of days have been jam packed with activity! In terms of recruiting, Monday was nonstop from 10 AM until 6 PM. I literally had a screening call scheduled every 45 minutes, and only deviated from that regiment long enough to attend a Skype interview previously scheduled between team leads and a candidate. Unfortunately the call didn't go too well. Today was nearly a carbon copy of yesterday except I only had one candidate screening per hour. The good news is that today’s candidates offset the lackluster from yesterday. As a result of the past two days I have several people to move forward in the recruitment process. I am still hoping for three additional placements in May!
What I need to do is find a balance between work and my running schedule. It seems that whenever I'm busy at work I use it as an excuse not to run. As a result, I get angry at myself for not running and I continue to grow large! It's already hard enough to keep the weight off at my age and I certainly have the time to run. Excuses, excuses…When will I learn? I’m averaging four runs weekly, but my neither my overall time nor my distance is improving.
There really isn't much to report other than my traction at work and failing running regiment. Sad, but true. I spend most of my free time counting the days left before Chris comes to visit. For the life of me I can’t figure out why people advocate distance in a relationship. Seriously, more than one person has told me that its best to spend time apart from the person you love just to ensure that the relationship is real. Why would someone want to be distant from someone they love? If it's not the two people in the relationship determining the validity of their feelings, then who is, and why is proof required? Who determines what is real and what isn't real? I have tons of questions around this subject but in all honesty the answers won't impact me a bit. Nobody will ever have the right to define my relationship or determine its validity based upon their own set of rules. Furthermore, I don't care to know other's rules on relationships. Did you ever notice that it is normally those people with failed relationships giving all of the advice? Pure ignorance if you ask me…
The time people spend looking for inclusion, recognition, and validation is better spent enjoying life and the company of those they love. Does it really matter what other people say or think? When I am put to my final rest, I want people to know that I lived my life for me, and that I did my best to better not only myself but also my fellow man. Look, I have enough failures and mistakes in my life to fill page after page of blog entries. The best I can do is learn from my mistakes, ask for forgiveness, and set off on a fresh course in hopes of doing less harm to myself and others. My primary flaw is being human. On that premise alone we are all fundamentally the same..flawed.
So why the rant? Hell if I know, but it sure felt good. Now, if the idea of getting off of my ass to go run only felt the same way! Until tomorrow…
