7.5% a year is pretty solid, i'm up about 7% over 2 years and Fatty just took a cut of 10% last week.

I think because of the company I'm working at, it sounds like more then it is.

Bare in mind between just the executive director and managing director, the monthly taking home wage (minus the money taken out of the company by one which is at 4* his salary) is

Oh yeah, got a 15% pay raise last friday (getting paid on the wednesday means I have to wait a month to see it).

edit- I saw that, considering I haven't had a pay rise since starting, it only equals out to 7.5% per year, which isn't that good at the end of the day.

It's not nothing, especially the way things are at the moment. My review is in a few months... will be very interesting to see what happens.
 
Whilst true on all of the above, I had a moment after work with the boss.

I told a single work colleague I received a pay rise and she has apparently told everyone (about 5 other people). At the end of monday I was told he was disappointed in me.

After a bit of tooing and froing while I was without this information of my colleague, I went to go and said to him if my integrity was being questioned he should recind the pay raise and I wouldn't contest.

Tooing and froing again and he basically said I'm keeping it because he thinks I've earnt it, however I need to prove myself to keep it and to attain another one.

So...what the hell was that all about. I'm starting to wish I didn't receive it.

Fucking work colleagues.

MT

SB
2 full techniques rounds

Held pads

5 2 minute rounds of pad work, 1 minute rest being active. So first was teeps, 2nd was knees, 3rd teeps, 4th knees and 5th knees. 30s rest then 2-10-2 punches, 3 sets of 10 at the end of the pyramid. 20 Shoulder raises, 30 knees.
1st round was boxing. Before that, started off 10 kicks each leg.
2nd was legs
3rd was full
4th was knees and boxing
5th was full

So 16-17 minutes on the trot

Collapsed for a bit, then went into sparring
I know I did about 8 3 minute rounds back to back with usual 1 minute rest.

I feel not too bad today, I have energy and not feeling that drained, but the mental side of things (eyes feel really fucking heavy) is there so having today off.

edit- forgot to add I did 15 pull ups at the end of the session. The last 3-4 were from a rested deadhang (mainly because my strength was going). Didn't let go though obviously.Someone put a towel over the bar, that definitely helped my grip.
50 yes's, 50 no's and 50 ear to ears off the ring for extra ROM

Same as normal, 20 swings down to 2 and increasing burpees. Only went up. Got to 16 burpees and felt absolutelly fucked (drained).
18 was pure no press up and the 20 was 10 with and 10 without.


I feel fucked. i think I have a virus or under recovered. I haven't really eaten much the last weel (compared to normal) and I'm away on RT weekend one in about 8 hours, so I need to recover (ie eat a lot).

I've had about 3g of vitamic c in the last 4 hours (2 large 1.5 doses)
 
Was away friday and saturday.
Saturday got back feeling rough and slept for about 17 hours (after only 4 1/2 hours sleep friday-saturday).
Worked monday, tuesday off because of being ill.

I'm going to have this week off and try and recover. I just feel exhausted at the moment. There's a virus going around but I just feel fucking lazy for not training. Hate it.

I should really note and stick to rest weeks. I don't think I've had a rest week/deloading week since January
 
I usually do anyway

I've just finished my 3rd pint while being at work for 3 1/2 hours

Cardio

Helping sis move and feeling better so went for a very long run (I think 50 minutes-1 hour) around salisbury, up and down hills and through farm land. Seriously nice sunday run with the warm weather out in force. Listening to halo book one. Bliss
Rest of holiday weekend, wank.

On a side note- saw a deer and adder while taking dogs for a walk on the monday.

Now tuesday, going thai tonight. Will be painful I think.
