The job is BUSY which is better than NO JOB. In April, I became responsible for all IT Services along with my IT Security responsibilities. So now I manage our 24/7 IT help desk, change and release management, field support staff, service reporting for KPIs/SLAs/OLAs and management reporting along with IT Security. I have 30 people located anywhere from Colorado to Mississippi to Quebec to Toronto. So between new job responsibilities, the two little ones and fitness.........the days are packed But IT'S ALL GOOOOD. |

Once you get into the habit of going on a regular basis, the rest follows naturally.

You could also try Standing One Armed DB Presses if you wanted to use a little more weight.

The deads are pretty strong.

It's summer time. You can always get stronger in the winter when you can hide the extra lbs.

Her pics had to be at least 20 years old. But being the gentlemen I am, I went thru with it, but she sensed there was a problem right away. Well YEAH, lol. The search for a fun buddy and hopefully a committed relationship continues… |
