Margo's got Moxie ! : the diary of miss red high heels

It's really frustrating when you are talking to someone who almost makes you feel demeaned in a way, or ignored even. I am critical of myself and always have been. If I'm honest, I know that is a flaw and I am aware of it. Confidence is for sure a sexy quality! The thing that bothers me is that it's as if I have to be on my guard all the time with people I appear to think are better, and it doesn't feel right. I find that same demographic in people, or did anyway. I thought it worked out, but the more I became privy to the control and the power they had over me, I realized it wasn't so nice anymore. There is nothing more uncomfortable, than being around someone who criticizes you, advises you, ignores you, or tries to change you. As I mentioned before, I have a mother, a counselor, and siblings for that lol, don't need another! I do appreciate honesty and criticism when it is given, but for some people it feels blatant. I wonder if it's a power trip; like if...

 Team Steve has managed to make great progress for this month. For myself, in two weeks alone, I have met my 200 mile pledge ! I rode all the way to Sac State with a friend on Wednesday.The trip was 32 miles and took us about 3 hours. Springtime allergies have been kind of a nuisance. We don't get much ground having all this pollen flying around into our noses and out to our lungs. Make us slower and when riding in the wind, it's quite the challenge. I am grateful for the exercise and a chance to get outside though. I like how we can do so much and cover so much ground on those trails. Plus, the website for the bike month challenges offers bagdes for motivation and competition amongst employers, teams, and individual goal setting. I wanted to try something within the work place. i know we do softball tourney's every year, but this was a way to get going on that, and connect more with people I work with. I didn't realize how many people in Sacramento and beyond ride the...

How else are you supposed to listen to Spotify at work, or do run keep supposedly, or check your bill payments on time or not? Cellular data, although costly, and a pain for your phone battery, weghing and decreasing it down, it's a way to go with all that we have going socially and just to keep awake. Ha okay, maybe not that extreme, but wifi only gets accessed for the lucky few. Some cannot use it and will have it monitored. Hence the hefty, aww but why not do it anyways. With an auditor running around, clipboard in hand, typing with tiny fingers on a phone may not seem so inconspicuous or is it, maybe he/she is blind and thinks it's keyboard typing. Ah, one can only hope, on a not-so steady lunch hour day.  A bit of a go back, but maybe just for myself. I tend to tell people my story, or my experience, or my situation and then later feel like an arse. Maybe if you are a sister or brother to me, or close it doesn't matter so much, but if you are not, well that's ...
