A slight setback…
and I’m not talking about Game 5 of the World Series….
Went to the doctor today and found that
I not only gained back the 8 pounds I lost this spring,
but added 2 more pounds, putting me back @ 298 pounds.
Not good.

I guess the twitter post about the Wharton Grad had something to do with this.
Backtracking a bit…
The store where I work
has a Facebook group
and uses Facebook to advertise.
I’m a member of that group.
My Facebook page autoposts
all of my tweets.
Not the brightest move.
Got called on it today.
I’ve essentially gutted my facebook page - it’s now a
collection of inoffensive
notes and carefully worded
statements from now on.
No animosity - I don’t even use it that much.
just feeling like another
page is turning.
a study in frustration
today was a study in frustration.
overslept but was able to cut lateness down to <10 min.
by taking a cab from Frankford Terminal to work -
pricey but necessary.
didn’t eat breakfast but got a quart of green smoothie to drink @ 1PM.
wall of customers until almost 3PM,
quick (0.5 hr) lunch and then back at it.
BTW, still trying to shake the last of this flu,
most of it in my chest and throat, which is aggravated
by having to talk so much.
did I mention that a new guy is being trained,
and is thus asking questions?
and that returning student workers are asking questions?
and that customers are asking questions with 5 followup
questions that are only slightly reworded versions of the
original question, whose answer they didn’t like and/or understand?
it is in this milieu that I remember Sunday’s message in James
about trouble’s use as a building tool in our lives and
that we should consider it joy when we go through stuff like this.
mentally… agree
but existentially? fuhgeddaboudit…
hooray for conscious incompetence!
Now I’m home writing this…

Epson:
Why do you have to put the ink for your printers
in the styrofoam, for crying out loud?
Don’t you know that people will
unwittingly throw them away?
A distinctly small subcategory of Coeds:
Like, why do you, like, not complete -
and the other guy was, like, really and I’m like -
and another thing, like, who is she to tell me…
(i.e. four words - Complete sentences are good.)
Popped collars:
It was bad enough when only guys were doing it.
Please let this style die a quick and fully justified death.
