A crotch rash from running too much that is!!! Seriously, the shorts I was wearing somehow unbeknownst to me starting chafing the inside of my legs (yup, crotch area) but being a trooper I kept going. I didn’t realize it at the time but later taking a shower was when the painful realization showed up. And, to make sure it really was a running rash, I ran two more times on Thursday and Friday to ensure myself rash to end all rashes. It kept me away from running this weekend.

Speaking of rashes...I worked for a company once where my boss (a sales VP) was like a bad rash on my body. I didn’t realize he was a micro-manager until my expense report submissions one particular month was returned because he wouldn’t authorize my buying a client a lunch to say thanks for the $12,000 a month in business they bought from us. And I was running their Alberta operations. I’m sorry but a $50 lunch expense out of a $3.5 million dollar revenue stream wasn’t going to kill us. I paid for it myself. Oh, but it was okay for the VP to fly in from the East unannounced, go out with us on calls to client sites, then have us expense the lunches on our tabs to be submitted to him for approval. It always struck me that this was his way of hiding his expenses on his subordinate’s account. Bad practice, IMHO.
