So I got a call today from an employee who has been complaining to HR that he doesn't make more than some junior members of his team. I'm like, "WTF man, that's your hard time, go complain to your supervisor or something." He was all "I've been here 12 years, and people starting out are making the same thing as me." And I'm all, "Yeah, that's the new minimum wage law, sucks don't it? Did you write your Assemblyman?? What do you want me to do about it?"

Eventually I connected him with someone in HR, and a few minutes later I get an email from that person, with a lot of other people copied. Apparently HR agreed with this guy, and his supers were supposed to give him a raise but they haven't done it yet.

Whatever, I'm to old to care and not gonna give up the things I enjoy just to hit a certain weight, life's too short. Eat, drink and be merry cuz ya never know when your time will be up.
It's like I'm sayin'

It took me 30 years to get to where I can afford to eat steak and drink good gin and whiskey, now they tell me I've got to give up the booze & eat broccoli sprouts 3 square a day

Unless one has, like, the unluckiest metabolism in the world, they can eat whatever they want without having to do some crazy diet or work out hours each day. It's all about being reasonable about it most of the time, and not making being unreasonable about it (like I was last night*) a habit.

*someone gave me some Teuscher chocolates and I'd ... I'd forgotten how knee-bucklingly good they were, and while I tried to save some for today, I failed.

Thought you all would like to know; I finally hit 220 lbs. today after trying for a year it felt like. I would fluctuate between about 221 and 224 but could never crack 220.

Gonna celebrate with some beers and sunflower seeds at a youth baseball game tonight.

I'm back down to 208. (6' 1"). My goal is 205 and I kind of use 210 as the mendoza line. I hit 215 over Xmas. :facepalm: Speaking of beers -- I quit drinking them so that keeps the weight down too.
 
This damn covid just doesn't want to leave my system. I'm not really sick but I'm not really well, either.
 
They're sending in a van to check our hearing, take chest x-rays and that stupid lung capacity test where you have to blow into a tube until you're on the verge of passing out.

Thinking about coming down with a case of rectal glaucoma in the morning. That lung capacity test sucks, like you think you're out of air and you've gotta keep going for 10 more seconds to pass.
