Luckycanuck grows a beard

I got a very good response on the snarky e-mail I sent Friday regarding the sound at the rugby. Apparently they turned the sound on about 60 seconds after I left. Still, the fact that there was even a question was surprising to me.
Saturday I slept off much of the last week and then went to the gym. I've not had a good workout for a while and I wanted to get back to the gym with a vengeance.
YW: AMRAP 10 dumbbell swings, 10 handstand pushups for 10 minutes. Then deadlifts and shoulder presses, 40-10, 30-20, 20-30, 10-40. I was getting very lightheaded towards the end. I hadn't eaten for a whle and think my blood sugar was low. One of the trainers said I looked like hell. Perhaps he was right.
I spent the rest of the evening visiting

I shopped on Sunday. The shake up in my career prospects has inspired me to look professional, so I picked up some new whirts for work, but true to type, I got things that I can get away with not ironing. Because I am a lazy man. Also the fact that I got them considerably cheaper than I would have at Myer or David Jones by going to Trade Secret is a bit of a bonus for me. I find it very satisfying to think that I have gotten a bargain. Ripping off the retail industry (in a legal way) is fun.
TW: I was more prepared today, and had a big session. Floor wipers, push ups, bench jumps with a 10kg medicine ball, pull ups - sets of 30, 20, 20, 20, 10. Then row 400m, 40 leg presses - 5 rounds.
I was just floating around on an endorphin high afterwards and had a good long sweat in the sauna. I'm back!
Perhaps the beard I have grown over the last week (on account of the stitches) has had a Samsonesque impact on me. Does anyone have any Philistines they need someone to slay?
Tonight dinner (an enormous chicken parmagiana and a lovely Matilda Bay dark lager at the Durham which generally has a diverse and varying range of beers) was had with Gundachick who is now unemployed. There was career talk aplenty. I'm feeling much more confident about my prospects than I was when we last spoke.
