Userpic Changes

I've been realizing that it's also time to clean house where my icons are concerned.

I've deleted very few since I started LJ, just kept buying more space for them. But with the name change -- and all that goes with it -- it's becoming clear that some of those old images need to be retired.

*sigh

I'd like to keep them, so they stay affixed to the old entries where they are still appropriate -- but really, how often do I or anyone else actually go back to them? And there just isn't room to be flexible about adding new images.

I've always put a lot of thought and care into which icons I upload and which one I put on each post. I've been known to go out and create a new one if I don't have one that fits an entry.

But this seems to be my year to learn to let go of things. . . especially the things that no longer fit.

Movement Everywhere

I just set up a meeting with my manager and my group's director to present the overview of the program I've created from scratch in my new role. My manager just approved the final version of my presentation, as well as my new scoring standards and goals.

I was also just informed by my manager that she is still working with HR to finalize my new job description, but the delay is just a matter of "getting it right" because it is new, not because anyone is opposing it. She hopes to have it done and approved within a week or so.

The new job description will come with a new title, a raise, and a move from hourly to salaried status.

Walkies. . . . *sigh

My therapist, Anita, wants me to get outside and walk more. ("More" would consist of just about any walking at all, given my current activity levels.)

My 90 minutes of workouts per week with a personal trainer are good -- but it's an inside activity. I'm supposed to go out.

Anita wants me to go out and walk because exercise and fresh air have a positive influence on overall well-being.

oakmouse wants me to get outside and walk to balance my underworld work.

Someone Else wants me to get outside more as well.


They're all absolutely right about what A Good Idea it is.


Yep. It's A Darn Good Idea.


* At the very least I can go outside the office during my lunch break and walk up the hill and back.
* There are lots of good walking trails in my neighborhood.

Why are the easy and obvious things sometimes so very hard to actually get done?



Uhmm. . . Do I get irony points for making this post so soon after changing my user name? Wouldn't Wild-Creature-Who-Travels-Outside be an alternate version of Feral Journey??
