Legs too beat up from yesterday’s weekly resistance fest to complete my intervals this pm. I think I’ll just eat everything in the fridge instead.
Thanks, @LAJ

Spot on. Cover your ass.
Stress to them that this is imperative, and if you get this stuff this supervisor's radar, it'll be put to rest, hopefully for a while.
My thoughts on tardy? If one is consistently late, everyone notices, not just those in management, and it sets precedent.

So gauging effort on a ride (or fake ride) tends to be basically impossible. I did the London loop with the big hill last night on the zwift and just felt tired and crap the whole ride. Suffered through it and when Iooked at Strava, I actually PR'ed almost every section of the climb. It was nice to see a good result, but still hard to wrap my mind around why it felt like such a crappy effort when it was actually my best to date on that climb.
Going to see the chiropractor today. I will find out how imbalanced my muscle tightness is. I feel like one leg does more work than the other. I should start doing single leg drills on the road.

And wouldn't you know, the bike I was working on today had a slack chain. The first thing I did was remove a link. I could have removed another one. I am not the type to go fiddling with the innerds of derailleurs if there is another way around it . And, with a shoebox full of spares, there us always a way around it.

On the “tardiness” thing: is there a legit reason for the everyone to be in the building at 8am sharp? Like there’s a meeting or clients to be seen at 8am?
An engineer punches a clock? Is he paid an hourly wage as opposed to a salary?
I’m all for people being on time if there’s a specific good reason.
Otherwise, he’s a professional which means the ethic is he gets his work done in advance of whatever deadlines he has, in a manner which keeps the business humming. If he needs to work until midnight to get things done, that’s what he does. If he gets in 5 minutes late, who cares?
Perhaps I’m am talking from the position of someone who is in a 0% unemployment field but if I was getting my work done and was chronically 5 min late and the boss wanted to fire me over that, I’d probably already be gone before he had a chance to fire me.
But I haven’t worked an hourly wage since I was a young adult so I don’t really get that concept.
PS I am a total Nazi about seeing my appointments on time though. If one of my patients goes into an exam room late, everyone who works for me knows that my first question will be Why did this appointment get into an exam room late? So it’s not that I don’t care about being on time, it’s that I only card when it matters to the $ bottom line or to the client’s experience.

The number one reason I ever run behind is clients being late. Super annoying!

I don’t generally eat more than a piece of fruit in the morning and routinely do 50s on an empty stomach. I usually take a Clif Bar or something, but I seldom feel like eating it.

More rainfall today, bringing the February total to 11.41.
Sadly it looks like we'll be an inch or so short of the all-time record, set last year. DougRNS

Kudos.
I don't know which brand but big trucks are by far the most annoying.
