Giving up something for "Lent"

Today, after a stressful day of taxes, tomorrow is the end, YAY! Anywayz, this afternoon my collegues were talking about giving up something for "lent"...I heard the VP of Marketing say, "oh, are you Catholic?"...C/S Mgr replies, "No, but I thought I give up something for six weeks"...some in the office are Catholic or Protestant or of some faith...Basically, everyone is going to give up something from today til Palm Sunday, 40 days whether it's alcohol, carbs, meat, chocolates...etc. Some of my department are giving up carbs(ladies), alcohol, McD's, in my case, I'm giving up meat (except for fish). Yup, for the next 40 days, no chicken, beef, pork, lamb, etc... only fish. I think I can do it, all my collegues are holding each other accountable. I mean this may be a good opportunity to get to know them better. I was actually going to email someone in my Fellowship while I was working b/c I was really having a bad day. With in 20minutes into my day, I already had a fight w/ my supervisor and told her she was wrong, in a nice way. At least that I didn't agree w/ her methods/approach and then 2hrs later, situation cooled down a bit and were better. Then later in the afternoon we're talking about lent and how everyone in the office is doing this.Anyways, we'll see what happens.
