Judging the Judge Shirt

Nick D brought me the new judge shirt back from PT: San Diego and I was excited to try it on.  The previous judge shirt was creatively termed “the zebra stripes” and had the dubious distinction of turning into a midriff-bearing shirt if the wearer was over 6′1″ or had a dunlopus majoris protruding more [...]

The Littlest Cable Install

The technician returned today ready to do the install.  By “ready” I mean “lacking the basic tools do the job” and “do the install” I mean “ask me repeatedly to help him”.  He was about 5′6″ and completely incapable of accessing the cabling in our drop ceiling so every time he had to thread something [...]

Another Reason to Lose Wait

Many moons ago, Teejay Green and I made a list of things that nag us as fat people. One of them was “cloths that fit that are purchasable in regular stores” or Fat Reason #28. To that I add an addendum of “be able to buy special print run shirts that only go [...]

Chin Meme Spreads

I don’t mind fat jokes.  Most are poorly thought out and merely show the speaker as an idiot.  I do salute innovative jibes or ones specialized to someone’s particular corpulence.   I make fun of Jason Ergott for his double chin to the point where I’ve anthropomorphized it and have pondered trying to get it a [...]

Blood Drive Interrogation

I came into work late today not remembering I had a blood drive appointment at 1:30.  I saw the reminder note to myself at 1:20 and gunned it to the appropriate building in our complex.  I arrived sweating but on-time and was immediately hurried in to make it on time.  I sat down, had my [...]

Going Off Early

I downloaded StickWars for my iPhone, a game where one flicks away stick figures attacking one’s castle walls.  New enemies appear over time and new countermeasures can be bought and I kept having problem with my suicide bombers.  Normally, one hits the little bomb button and a little stick figure holding a bomb is launched [...]

Into the Woods

Sam: Where’s Terry running?
Teejay: I think he heard something.
*Sam and Teejay emerge out of woods onto road I was panting*
Me: Damn.  I thought I heard an ice cream truck.

Me to Teejay while walking up a hill: Is this what exercise feels like?
Teejay: I hope not, it feels suspiciously similar to effort.

Fat Bet: The Beginning

Teejay Green and I initiated Operation:Fat Bet today. We’ve each set a monthly weight loss goal and will owe the other person $200 each month we fail to meet it. Teejay rightly pointed out that there’s a spot of a Prisoner’s Dilemma to the thing. If either of us finds ourselves hopelessly [...]

Donut Derby

Marketing’s recent return to our office clime has resulted in some odd collisions.  As a thank you to engineering, they left out donut holes for us assumably the night before as I saw no marketing folk in when I arrived at 5 AM.  There was a box on each photo copier and the coffee area [...]
