Dear TP coworkers,
I have asked you multiple times not to eat my food. I only bring so much, and that is my dinner. When you eat my food I am a very sad person. I know its difficult to remember to bring your own dinner, but I manage every shift, so can you.
Sincery,
me
ps fuck you |

I think part of why I am terrified to have kids is that they might be forced to go through the anxiety and depression that I have at times. It would be so crewel to do that and so wrong that they should be forced to because of genetics... |

god fathers day.
Frankly I hate days associated with parents. For me they all really suck.
My identical twin sister wrote this today. I agree with her...
My dad...
I wish he had gotten to have the life he deserved and not the one he had gotten
I wish he hadn't gotten so sick even if it was his own fault
I wish he hadn't given up on his own life
...Most of all, I wish my daddy wasn't dying and he knew how much he means to me |

Heh,
and irony of irony, I make just enough by 44 dollars exactly per year to be counted in the mandatory pay cuts. You have to be fucking kidding me. It costs me more then that to park at this fucking job per month, and thats what bumps me into the pay bracket that will see the cuts. Fucking weak. |

Oh fuck.
Oh no.
What am I going to do? It looks like instead of a 5% pay cut we are looking at an 8.5-10% pay cut, plus no cost of living, plus they are restarting mandatory payments into the retirement system, plus CA is increasing the income tax so I will need to adjust my withholdings to take more out of my paycheck so we arent underpaying...
oh no. |

ok people, im sorry I know this is going to be really judgemental, but seriously the Wii is not an exceresise program. I am sure its active and fun, but its not a replacement for real excersise!
Donnelly also points to the downward spiral of physical activity in this country, and says that all of the exercise recommendations are currently being ratcheted up -- not down. The CDC, Institute of Medicine, and American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), for example, are re-examining their guidelines to determine whether they should increase the recommended amounts of physical activity.
The ACSM currently recommends at least 30 minutes of physical activity per day. But Donnelly, who is involved in a study of these guidelines, says that not only are they too modest, but they have also been "grossly misinterpreted" by the media and the public.
"We need people to be moderately active throughout most of the day," he says. "Prehistoric man engaged in moderate activity for six to eight hours a day. Those are the genes that we inherited."
Like Bryant, Donnelly cites Konami's Dance, Dance Revolution, an active game that made headlines when it was released, then quickly began gathering dust in many households. But even if people do stick with exercise games like Wii Fit, he says, the time typically spent using them is rarely enough to make a difference.
"Electronic gimmicks do not appear to be the solution for the physical inactivity problem that we have in this country," he adds. "You're not going to be able to play a Wii game for 15 or 20 or even 30 minutes and get the kind of energy expenditure that is the same as six to eight hours" throughout the day.
Bryant agrees, although he is quick to praise Nintendo for its ability to use technology in a positive manner. He just doesn't want people to use Wii Fit as an alternative to actual fitness activities.
"If you're going to substitute giving your thumbs a workout with the Wii video games for a Wii exercise game, that's a good choice, in terms of actual activity and caloric expenditure," he says. "The hope [however] is that if we can engage people in trying some of these sports through Wii, we can entice them to try the real thing and get some real exercise."

Great, it looks like the UC's may be trying to reduce our pension benifits. Pretty much one of the few reason to work in this shit paying industry in the first place. |

Ok so I am not a smoker. I have been known to indulge upon occasion, but in general I do not smoke, and honestly dont really care for it.
That being said, I think the new legislation I heard about yesterday on NPR is the stupid and one of the more blatant examples of governments attempting to pander to lobbiests on both sides.
Why do I say this? Frankly because of what they are looking at doing. Essentially they are looking to allow "normal" ciggerets, while banning flavored or clove ones.
WTF? Now again, I am not advocating smoking or the lack thereof, but seriously people lets use or brains. If smoking is that bad that you think everyone should be policed, then ban them all, not just certain types. Supposedly this is to "prevent children" from taking up smoking, because tehy are more likely to indulge in flavored ones the other. I think this too is stupid. I am sorry at almost 10 bucks a pack for the specialty cigarettes vs like 3 for plain, I dont think this is a huge contributer to children smoking.
Anyone this this could be because of big tobacco? Anyone? Like I said, stupid.
What do you think? |
