The answer is…..(drumroll please)….one, the one that drives to Wal-Mart to buy light bulbs and screw them in so that I can see when I pee. A whopping total of $2.31 and ten minutes of my time. Guess what geniuses? I bought a 4-pack! Brilliant.

Seriously people? I do not have a company credit card. I am not responsible for maintenance. I do like to use the restroom but light, as well as toilet paper, soap, and paper towels are kinda essential products. After three days and two managers knowing there was a light bulb shortage, it was time to take action.

Our office has three bathrooms, a men’s, a women’s and a unisex bathroom. The unisex bathroom is directly across from my office and is the one that had both light bulbs burned out. No windows = total darkness and I’m not peeing with the door open. I’m sure my coworkers thank me. I have to draw the line somewhere. To further complicate; the office has a ratio of 10 to 1 females to males; therefore, the woman’s restroom is always busy and it is on the other side of the office.

Something so stupid, yet so frustrating. I did my good deed for the week, now we can all see while we pee!!!!

I’m typing this post on my new Wordpress for Blackberry App and I’m unbelievably excited! I’ve been trying to figure out.a way to post to my blog easily and the so-called “solutions” were just giving me a headache. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Awwwww….and it actually works!!!! Woohoo!!!!

Years ago a friend gave me a book titled, One Small Step Can Change Your Life: The Kaizen Way
I was in a place where I was unhappy with the way my life was going. I was overweight and in a life stealing job, everything just seemed to be wrong.

The principles of the book has stuck with me, though I haven’t accomplished everything I have wanted to (see post It Starts with P and Ends with Rocrastination), I keep telling myself a little at a time will eventually be a lot. I do have a better job; it took some hardships before I got here, but I would never be here without taking small steps to change my life.

Instead of setting large, scary, unfathomable goals…set small short term goals that you can see yourself accomplishing. For example, set a goal to lose 10 pounds instead of the 100 pounds you would eventually like to get rid of. If you want to start exercising but have been a couch potato for the last ten years, start by walking in place in front of the tv during your favorite show instead of registering to run a marathon or joining a gym. This last year…I overcame my fear of the elliptical. It kicked my ass when I first started using it but gradually, increasing the resistance a little at a time, I can burn about 500-600 calories in an hour (Hell Yeah!).

You’ll never know how much you could have accomplished if you NEVER start.
And, if you don’t know where to start…start somewhere, anywhere…just start.
