A Pyramid Scheme

A bunch of soft people didn't turn up for the run today "because it was raining". SOFT!!! It really came down hard around 6am but by the time I ran it was only a light sprinkle. No matter, I took the opportunity to take a different path and found all kinds of exciting and mean things to do to them next time. HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
There is a weekend long seminar for new candidates that I sat in on for part of today. These people seem to think I'm really something. Drinks were bought for me at dinner, another staffer with a large and boisterous personality was talking me up, saying "there's nothing this bloke doesn't know", and everyone has been playing close attention. This bodes well for my presentation tomorrow.
TW: A tough one, you could call it a pyramid scheme, or not. 10 squat snatches, 20 thrusters (not all of these things sound sexual), 30 sumo deadlift high pulls, 40 burpees, 50 dumbell swings, 60 pullups, 70 walking lunges, 80 pushups, 90 situps, 100 squats. 31:15 total. I can see myself doing this again. Damn it was hard! The early stuff was toughest, after the pullups it got easier. Then it was off to dinner with the candidates.
Steak was had. It was 2 for 1 steaks so our Chief of Staff and I wound up ordering two identical steaks. Scotch fillet, medium rare, pepper sauce, chips and salad. What are the odds?
It's been a long week. I'm working this weekend but it doesn't seem to bother me.
