I've been pretty busy lately, a lot's been going down at work. We lost our Academic Manager so two of us (teachers) were made "Head Teachers" or something like that which meant many minor shifts in how things were done. I had my observation from my boss last week and while it was stressful it went well and I am now officially (non-probationary) a teacher at my schools, which is nice (and the pay gets a nice little raise from here on out).
I had to do some visa work, which meant photocopying my passport and getting a checkup... I don't have syphilis, which happens to be the only disease my work checkup checks. Aside from that I lost 10 kilos (22ish pounds) since coming to Thailand and gone down a belt size which is sweet (I had to buy a belt for my work pants tho'). I've felt great about that and added to my muay thai (which is now on the weekend) a morning run which I've done for the past couple weeks.
Finally, I got a new update for my Linux. If this interests you then read on, if not then you can stop here.
Natty Narwhal
The new Unity interface is excellent and I think the best one I've used on my netbook before. It's less clumsy and faster than the older Unity (I'd been using the regular Ubuntu Desktop) and was a real surprise. The full-screened windows are the best way to take up the space and the toolbar is less annoying than Snow Leopard's (I haven't seen Lion yet); the "Hidden" feature seems easier to manager, especially as a sidebar. I did have to allow 3rd party updates (not naturally on) or it was a bit glitchy, but Natty has so far been the smoothest upgrade I've had from Ubuntu. Nice job, guys ^_^

22 pounds in a month!? Holy cow! Am I going to recognize you next time I see you?
To be fair/honest I'd been in Thailand about 2 months (6 weeks) so it's not THAT dramatic (oh man, it I dropped 20 in a month...) but yeah, it's good.
Now though I'm only doing Muay Thai on the weekends (but upping the total hours training?) so I gotta run and do other things to keep me active during the week if I want to keep that pace up (Even if most of the weight lost was before I did ANY exercise and I was feasting for two weeks straight like a pig). ^_^
Oh, and probably not. I am also incredibly tan and smexeh lookin' now. ;)
Hot.
good job losing weight and also for becoming an official teacher!! PS email me sometime :)
PPS - it's already been 2 months?? times flying...
