No intro, let’s rock:

Sad life snippets

  • Was talking to my produce guy, I have a produce guy, and mentioned that I was just back from Florida. However, he misheard me and thought I said I was GOING to Florida. Why he thinks I would be buying produce prior to a vacation is beyond me, but that’s besides the point. Bottom line is I was too much of a pussy to correct him so I just avoided walking by his shop for a few days to sell the ruse.

  • Was at my parents golf club on prime rib night. (Yes, I know I sound like a prick. Take it up with my pops. I just show up where the meat is…pause). My dad and I were getting slices carved and the dude gave me a markedly bigger slice than my dad. Taking that as a shot at my weight. On a similar note, I was at Dunks and ordered a donut and the lady put two in the bag but only charged me for one. Passive aggressive benevolence.

  • Got an ultrasound done a few months back as part of an EKG — lab technician kept getting visibly frustrated and moving the wand all around my torso. I asked what she was doing and she said, “there’s just too much fat!,” which frankly feels like a problem an EKG tech should know how to navigate. Sounds like you just suck at your job lady.

  • Speaking of my health, I got some routine bloodwork done and was wayyyyyyy too pumped to find out my kidney function and blood sugar are both in normal ranges. I’m so back.

  • Some lady at work called me “ruggedly handsome” which I think just means ugly? Best case it’s like an attractive homeless guy.

  • Inadvertently went for a walk wearing a sweatshirt and no shirt on underneath. If that sounds familiar it’s because it’s not the first nor last time I’ve done this.

  • Poured myself some cereal before first verifying that I had clean spoons. With the dishwasher running and no options to clean in the sink I resorted to eating the bowl with a tablespoon.

  • Recently the color of my stool was impacted by the sheer number of AirHeads I had eaten that day.

  • When I was in Florida recently we kept running into situations where my dad didn’t have any cash on him at a cash only place. I always carry a decent amount of cash so I kept paying then publicly big-timing him as if he’s poor. Told one lady that he got laid off when the factory closed but we’re working to get him back on his feet.

  • Been getting a pretty steady diet of gay ads targeted to me on Twitter. Given that those are typically based on search history I made need to reexamine some things:

Happy long weekend! Maybe we all just don’t go back to work on Tuesday. They can’t fire us all! (They can, it’s called mass layoffs).
