I think the problem that I had with blogging during my last challenge was that it got a little monotonous. I got really tired of trying to make up something to talk about each day. So my new plan is to blog every few days. Also, instead of only talking about my workouts and readings, I will expand to talk about whatever I want. This will hopefully relieve some of the annoyance of having to blog every day.
So... on to other things.
A local auto glass shop hosts a lunch for all of the area insurance companies in town as a thank you for sending our customers to them for all of their windshield needs. They specifically schedule this lunch around this time of year to corrospond with "Secretaries Day" or should I say "Administrative Professionals Day". I am choosing to not be offended by the fact that I am often times considered a secretary. Not that there is anything wrong with being a secretary, it's just that people put this stigma on that title. Like they think I am incapable of independant thought and all I do is answer the phone and take messages all day. This is not the case. In fact, I am professionally licensed in 4 lines of insurance and conduct sales transactions all day long. I do all the work of an agent all day long but because I don't have the "Agent" title, people look at me like I am an idiot. Anyway... I digress.
They host this lunch every year at The Island Bay Yacht Club. It's super fancy and always a really good meal. The awkward thing about this gathering is that I am almost always the only guy in attendance. While there are guys that work in Agent offices, not very many choose to attend the lunch. I say, free lunch and out of the office for two hours.... sign me up! Also, they have door prizes and lots of them. While this was my 5th year in attendance, I have NEVER won a door prize. It's quite sad. Today, everyone else at my table won a prize, but I did not. All of the numbers around mine were called, but my sad little ticket number 793 was never called. It was a sad day. I think I should automatically get a prize for being the only man in the room, but that is just me.
Perhaps next year I will win something. 6th times a charm right?
