I've discovered that drinking about 3 oz. of Gatorade before working out, and about 3 oz. of Gatorade after working out seems to help greatly with the not-feeling-like-I've-been-run-over-by-a-truck after working out thing. Either that, or I'm just acclimating.

The IT department has been doing all kinds of fun things to our e-mail servers, and about half the e-mail I have sent out today has bounced. This bites giant waxy tadpoles, especially since nobody seems to be at their desks or answering their telephones either. On the other hand, while I was prowling the halls of R&D looking for person A so I could ask a question about project X, person B flagged me down to give me information on project Y. Maybe I should roam the halls more often.

I'd run across this before, but I came across it again while thumbing through an issue of Cooking Light magazine last night: According to a recent study, women who drink 6 cups of caffeinated coffee a day can cut their risk of Type II diabetes by 30%. Yowza. I love my coffee, but I don't think I could drink 6 cups a day.

Okay, I think it's time for me to go roam the halls again. Wish me luck...
