1. The restaurant's christmas party is tonight at 10pm. 10pm! I can barely stay awake until 10pm, let alone start a party at this time. I'm kind of sick, so I'm going to make a cameo and leave.
2. I am considering putting in my month's notice at the restaurant right after New Year's.
3. A student I had a few years ago came back to the school today. The first words out of her mouth were, "Mr. Epiph got fat!" I'm serious. You all think I'm obsessed with this, which I am, but it doesn't help being around people with no tact at all. I'm used to it from students, but an alum?
4. What I want my union to fight for is not to make sure our school day doesn't get any longer, but to make sure we're never again made to teach the entire week before Christmas up through the 23rd. Everyone is primed to be off right now.
5. I worked myself into getting my first cold of the year. I hope it doesn't get worse.
6. The house is an abomination.
7. I'd like to leave by 6am on Saturday morning.
8. The house is so cold without heat that my Clementine oranges on the counter shriveled up.
9. I'm used to being cold all the time now, though. Tonight, with the temperature up a little on the outside, I might not have the heat on even if the pilot light would stay lit. That being said, this cold weather sucks.
10. I am so ready to get out of this city for a few days.
11. My good classroom story of the day: A kid found a $100 bill on my classroom floor and turned it into me. Another kid swore it was his, a Christmas gift from his grandfather. I called home, and the kid's story checked out with the mom's without my prompting. I gave the $100 back to the kid with a stern talk about what an idiot he was for bringing it to school and putting it in his sock. I called the other kid's mom to tell her the story of his honest act.

I have seen your photo on your blog or fool's blog. You look fine. You are not fat. You are a solid man's man quit worrying about your weight. If you were gay I would be chasing you all over Baltimore and I am picky

Thanks. Worrying about my weight is probably my lifetime burden, though, as a former 320-pounder and the grandson of a guy who died of weight-related diabetes.
2. This is happening early this year. Generally you wait until about March to think about putting in your notice and then don't.
3. I don't understand how a guy who works out twice a day for hours at a time and does not eat meat can be fat. Your metabolism must work in reverse. You should stop exercising and eat everything in sight for a while and see how that works out for you. Or you can just be a guy and say "f" it. Let women worry about their weight.
SC: I've been really slacking on workouts, and go for some pretty long week-long stretches without even setting foot in a gym. But I can't stop worrying about it; that's what got me to be 320. And it's really not worrying about weight, so much as it is the health that is reflected by it and brought by it.
As for the 2nd job, of course, you're right.
Hmm, I completely understand the weight thing. My family is all like that-- tactless. I can't wait to show up with 30 extra pounds. But I feel you, I just gained this back over the summer and I feel like ass, both in the self-esteem department and in the physical my-feet-legs-etc-are-so-damn-tired department. You've worked hard and slipping is the absolute last thing you'd want to happen.
I think everyone can relate to the weight issue. I lost 30 lbs and then gained it right back. People that were all like "oh, you look so good" now look at me with some strange looks. It happens.
