Thursday Thirteen 59/7

Thirteen Reasons I Need to Lose Weight NOW

The list this week is not pleasant, but some sad truths I need to face.

  1. I can't find clothes. Right now I'm a 26. Sears and Penney's sizes stop at 24. Even if I can find any sizes bigger, the clothes are UGLY!
  2. My thighs rub together. It chaffes and gets irritated. It's just plain yucky. That's where my pants always wear out first.
  3. I can't put my arms straight down to my side.
  4. My belly table. I caught myself using my stomach as a writing desk and then later to hold my plate while eating lunch. When did I start doing that and why didn't I notice until today?
  5. I can't tie my shoes. I can't tie my shoes unless I put my foot on a chair. I used to be able to stand one-legged like a crane to tie my shoes, but I can't now. I can't even cross my legs to tie it that way.
  6. I'm tired. Carrying the weight of a whole second person is doing damage to my joints and I'm freaking exhausted all the time.
  7. Sleep is becoming more difficult. Not only does it cause really bad snoring, which is waking me and Marcus up, I have a hard time getting comfortable. The other night I actually felt pain from the weight pushing on my chest while on my back.
  8. Jewelry. I'd like to be able to wear bracelets or necklaces again. Necklaces look stupid because they draw attention to the fat rolls under my chin.
  9. A pretty face. I'm actually quite pretty under all this fat. I'd like to see her again.
  10. It's an excuse. I use my weight as an excuse not to do all kinds of things. Not meeting people. Not having friends. Not having a good job.
  11. Breathing. I've noticed that I can hear myself trying to breathe. A person shouldn't have to struggle that much for a deep breath.
  12. My image. I don't think people take me seriously because I'm fat. Hell, I don't take myself seriously.
  13. My life span. Every day I carry around this extra weight is less time I'll have to live.

It’s Office Night

For reasons I can't go into here, I'm not at work yet. I'm really not wanting to go there anymore. I think I'm allergic to the incense he must burn or something. Either that, or there's mold/mildew in the basement where we work. I expressed my frustration with working there to the old teacher that got me the job. She doesn't blame me one bit for not wanting to stay. I did tell her I will stick it out until the publication goes to print so as not to get her in a bind. It turns out that is not until the first Friday in October. So, a little over two weeks away. I was originally told Sept. 22, then the last week of September. Nobody there can get their stories straight. Grrr.

I need help from all of you out there. My resume was sent to a screen printer on Monday. I really, REALLY want to work there. It's very close to I-70 so on a good day, the drive will be less than a half hour. I sent a follow-up email on Tuesday with some samples of my work. Now, I just need to be called in for an interview. That's where you guys come in: Concentrate all of the positive energy and thoughts/prayers you can spare my way for me to get this job. Thanks in advance for your help!

I got an email from a place that the placement woman had sent my resume to last week:
Thank you for responding to the production artist position at xxxxxxxxxxxx. We received your resume and will be contacting you within the next few weeks to let you know what further action we would like to take. We appreciate your interest and look forward to speaking with you soon.
Um, ok. The next few weeks? How long do you expect me to stay underemployed? This is so stupid. The holidays are coming up , people. My unemployment checks will run out sooner than later. I want to work NOW!

At least I've got the season premieres of The Office and CSI tonight. I can't wait for this evening.

White and Nerdy

Weird Al is releasing his new album, Straight Outta Lynwood, on September 26. He released his new video through YouTube. The video is in the extended. It's for a song called "White and Nerdy." That song is totally hilarious! It's a parody "Ridin' " by Chamillionaire. Check it out.

NBC Sucks

It was just as I feared.

I read somewhere that Medium was going to be on Sunday nights now. Stupid NBC has Football Night in America on until the end of football season in early January. Well, NBC's Medium page does indeed now say "Returning to Sundays After Football." LAME! How can it return to Sunday when it wasn't there in the first place? You guys suck much monkey ass! Do we really need Deal or No Deal on every damn night? Hell, no! Can you tell that I am pissed about this? GRRRRRR!

Bad Timing

Aaaaaaah! The Barenaked Ladies are coming to town on November 21st and tickets go on sale on Saturday and Marcus promised to go with me the next time they came but we don't have that kind of money right now and they'll probably sell out before we do. I hope KBCO is giving away some tickets to this one.
