Underwhelmed, slightly, by the increase I got this year after all that talk. But it's a tough year and the total increases available were a lot lower, so, well, it's understandable. Doesn't mean I like it. I'm supposed to find out the bonus amount soon. I have no reason to stay until fall, but I think I'm behind on studying for the exam in May again. It's just a pile of work and my class is a pile of work, so it's hard to convince myself to do both. The exam is the ticket out. I've been saying this for literally years.

I found an interesting article about how the US government poisoned people during Prohibition. For those about to comment about denaturing, this is stuff done above and beyond denaturing.

I've been travelling and dealing with family crises and such lately, so my last training session was Sunday, the last one before that was the Sunday before, and the last before that was the Sunday before. My adductors are still sore from squatting on Sunday, which makes me happy, because it means I'm doing something right. I'm training tonight, of course. My back is also sore, presumably from all the sitting. This makes me unhappy. I like happiness. Maybe some heavy deadlifts will sort me out. 

The real question for the day is what novel to read next. Or what non-fiction. We are probably constrained to what I have on my bookshelf, which you cannot see. But you can make guesses, I suppose.

Okay. I'm leaving. I have to go train.
