Microsoft is not your friend

Well, my plans to go to bed early yesterday were successfully thwarted by Microsoft's shitty customer service. I ended up hanging up after being on hold for 2.5 hours. Let me emphasize that a bit more: TWO AND A HALF HOURS. After I'd spent over 1.5 hours trying to go through a different tech support line. I was infuriated. And none of my problems had been solved. Fortunately, today we had a good almost 3 hours off this morning, so I was able to get my problem solved after an additional hour and 45 minutes on the phone. I will never, ever buy a Windows/Microsoft product in my life (except for Microsoft word given that it's a standard application). If their tech support is that awful, I refuse. I know apple products are infinitely more expensive, but it took less than an hour to have my hard drive replaced versus the almost 6 hours I spent on the phone to activate some software. Ridiculous.

Anywho, I had a good afternoon at the office and saw a good range of patients. After work, I came home for a snack because I was starving and then hit the gym after some digestion time. I did the elliptical for 45 minutes and ramped up the resistance. I burned almost 500 calories during that time, but it wasn't the most satisfying workout because one of the sites of my no-longer-present moles got all irritated. So that was a bummer. Plus I originally thought I was going to run a 5k, but decided against it. I'm sure I would've been more excited had I done a 5k.

Today's dinner was a PB&J sandwich and a crap ton of veggies. I dipped them in a yogurt-based salad dressing, but I bet they would've tasted better if I'd used a different dressing - the pairing was kinda weird - it was like a parmesan caesar dressing. 

Aaaaand for the big news of today: I think I might start doing morning workouts next week. This whole showering twice in a day and working out only a few hours before bed just doesn't seem to be the best schedule. I'm off at 3pm tomorrow, so I'll hit weights tomorrow night and just do an evening workout Thursday and then will probably try changing my sleeping schedule next week.
