FML - Why I Was Late To Work

This all began last night.

Before training, I go home for an hour or so and head back to train. I got a vent attachment as a gift and figured I would give it a try. I am not much of a phone video guy as seen in this video.

 

 

After this one I stopped because. A. It's stupid and B. I don't know what to say.

 

Now I get this clip so I don't have to hold the phone and figure I will give it another shot. No idea what to film so I filmed myself ordering burgers...

 

Nothing else needs said...

For some odd reason, this seemed to be a hit. I went back to the gym, trained, hit a real PR (I will write a training update soon) and head back home.

 

Before heading out I fired out a few text messages to people who know what I was training for to give them the update.  Last Friday I had lunch with Vincent Dizenzo, Matt Rhodes and Jim Wendler and they told me I should post about my training cycle.  Between them and the texts last night I've decided I will post it all - but later.
By the time I got home, family time and caught up on reading and emails it was close to 2am. Very late for me.

 

I fall asleep and...

 

Let's just say I am not a morning person. How in the hell I used to train at 8:00 am after training clients from 5-7:00 am in beyond me. I got my ass up around 8:45 am and wobbled to the chair and sat and read for 30-45 minutes. Then checked email and started to move.
Moving in the morning sucks ass!  Right now it's even worse.

 

Why? I will post about that later as well.  Trying to stay on point.

 

I make it out of the house and freeze my ass off in the car. Get to the gas station and pick up 2 AMP Drinks for work. I then remember the phone clip thing but am not in the mood to deal with filming a damn thing. So I use Siri to take pics and send texts (not as easy as you think but I figured it out). Actually the worst part was not being able to copy and text becuase Siri texting sucks ass so how person X knew what I was saying is beyond me. I guess the pics did the speaking.

 

Here is my way into work with the texts I was sending to person X.

MY TEXT:

Normal start to the day. Pick up drinks, meds, drive to Mcdonalds and wait in the reject line.

 

MY TEXT

Finally got two sandwiches, two hash browns, sausage, gravy and biscuits with a breakfast burrito. Off to work. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

PERSON X

PERSON X

OMG!!! Is that your medical files bag??? Cane and hash browns. LOL. haha. Holy Fuck

 

 

 

MY TEXT

No, my medical file bag is this - I haven't taken it out of the car yet, nor the trash. I forgot the pre-workout Red Bull and Zero Bars

 

 

 

 

MY TEXT

Fuck it... going to look at the new place. I really don't want to go to work right now. I guess driving around is still working. Even more so if I am going to look at new place.

I eat half the meal before I go into the office so I don't have to hear people say OMG you're eatting all that! That's all I need right now.

Do you realize how funny it is that you drive around with your medical files, a cane, bottles of assorted pills and burgers?

The rest goes in the office to eat at my desk. Two sandwitches and burrito killed.

I leave my work bag in the car and toss what I need into the Mcdonalds bag so I only have one bag to hobble with.

 

MY TEXT

OK, I'm here, pet the dog and now ready to go home.

FOOTNOTE to Person X - This idea SUCKED!  This took me forever to post all these images and texts. Not cool! Now I see why people do the catr video thing. It takes a fraction of the time and almost zero work!
