  • Watch out for the Recyclesaurus!

    The power was out in the office this morning and the entire building has been shaking like mad all day. The Recyclesaurus pavement eater has been dutifully chomping away at the street since the wee morning hours. Looks like I’ll have a rally stage on the way out of the building this evening! About time they decided to redo the tarmac in the facility…

  • WalMart’s return policy is complete bunk…

    So, what happens when you lose the receipt for a pair of unopened $14.97 shorts that you’d like to return to WalMart? They offer you $3.00, take it or leave it. No receipt equals no refund for seasonal items…but the clerk was nice enough to offer me $3.00 for my inconvenience. Sorry, I’ll forego the $3.00 and give away the shorts.

    Update (12/18/2004): Since this is one of the most commented on entries on my Blog, I feel the need to make a quick clarification. Yes, I’m an idiot for losing my receipt. Had they simply told me that they couldn’t give me a refund because I lost my receipt I would have been disappointed but I would have understood.

    The reason I’m pissed is because instead of just saying “we can’t give you a refund without a receipt” they insulted me by offering me $3.00. It’s the principle of it. I’d rather donate the item to charity than be given $3.00 for a product they’re going to put back on the rack and sell for $14.97.

  • Lunch

    I’m so high right now…I’ve got no idea what’s going on…

    • Chicken quesadilla with cheese, onions, beans and rice.

    So I’ve had my single cheat day this month. So good. So many carbs. So high.

  • Breakfast

  • Haphazard Linkage

    I’m not quite sure why, but I think that The Sad Mafioso is a really cool name. Glitter Dolly just makes me think of porn…or an antigoth. Someone Loves you. And, finally, a blank slate.

  • I’m down 12 inches…

    I finally broke down and headed to WalMart to pick up some inexpensive clothing that actually fits now that I’m getting close to my goal weight. My plan backfired a few weeks ago when I picked up some shorts with a 42″ waist and they were falling off. It turns out that I’m actually now a 38″ waist. All I can say is, holy crap.

    In January I was a 50″ waist with 46″ hips so I just wore 46″ jeans on my hips and let my paunch hang over. Now the paunch is tactfully hidden away under the pants because it’s mostly skin anyway. I can finally fit into some rather trendy looking kit…looks like, come Fall, I’ll be assembling a whole new wardrobe starting with a fire suit.
