Today...

I had to rewrite an email today.... four times. Why? Because my boss thought I was being too harsh. I was firing someone for laundering... how am I supposed to be nice about this. This is dumb.

College Bullspit

So, my roommates and myself threw a little party the other week at our apartment, owned by the university. We all got the same punishment - we cant have anyone else over for a month. However, I was the only person who was put on student conduct probation... for 3 months by the way. What this means is that if I violate any of the schools rules within this time period, it is instant grounds for expulsion. Im appealing this beyond all belief... and I will win.

My Roommate

I went over to my friends place last night. I brought my roommate and he and this girl talked for a good 4 hours or so and two of those hours they were just cuddling on the couch. Some might say my roommate is socially inept, so I figured this was like the perfect time for him to actually start something with this girl. I text him and essentially tell him that he needs to get this girls number by the end of the night. He simply replies with, "All right." Well, we end up leaving at like 2 in the morning and right when we step out I ask if he got her number. He said no. I pretty much just go off on him for not doing it and whatnot. A couple minutes later, my friend texts me saying that this girl was all upset about it.... My roommate needs to show some initiative and become a man and I have no idea how to get him to become one.

I was a told a story today...

A superior of mine came up to me after a meeting and essentially said that money is not the most important thing in life. He began to tell a story about how he was once, in his youth, part of a corporation that would have been worth 150million dollars if they had turned it into shares. He follows up by saying the day before the company was going to go through the process, and essentially be millionaires overnight - he left. He said that his heart was not there.... which I could understand. The real problem I have is that he said he is in a position that is his lowest paying that he has ever had, and it is essentially the worst job he's had, but he's happy. He has full benefits.. and 6 figure income.  I'm thinking he's a liar.

Weight Loss Contest

My work had this contest to see which one of us could lose the most amount of weight within a month... the prize was a 50in Plasma Tv. I figured I had a pretty good shot at winning because of some of my background knowledge in loosing weight - I used to be a collegiate wrestler. So, I signed up. The following week we all took our starting weights, mine was 187lbs. I immediately started myself on a diet - pretty much consisted primarily of vegetables and fruit. Within the first three weeks of this diet, I lost about 15lbs, which is not bad at all. The last week is where my cutting weight technique really kicked in. The last 5 days of the month I went into this cutting weight mode, where I ran an extreme amount, etc. And the last 2 days I was running with a sauna suit. I ended up losing a total of 35lbs over the course of that month, however I have gained some of it back now. Needless to say I won the contest and am now watching the Super Bowl on a 50in Plasma Tv.
