Date with a Bagel

I started a new job today, and I can already feel my waistline expanding. Not only is the break room 10 paces away from my office, but I also received two invitations to lunch this week. I didn’t realize people still ate lunch. Aren’t we in the middle of an obesity crisis for Christ’s sake?

And to make matters worse, the company provides bagels two Wednesdays a month. Bagel day is such a significant event, it’s even garnered its very own slot on the company calendar. WTF have I gotten myself into? All in the name of a fucking paycheck. Thanks, U.S. economy. If I get fat, it’s all your fault.

Well, congrats on the new job – now you can afford a gym membership to burn off the bagel calories…it all comes out to 0 in the end, doesn’t it?

That’s insane, my work don’t even give me discounts on anything, let alone free bagels. But I’m starting to think I’m the lucky one. Congratulations on the job, by the way.

congrats on the new job. i am jealous.

speaking of the low economy, there’s research being done about the link between obesity and it’s strain on the modern economy–> how health care costs/insurance/taxes strain the rest of trying to maintain a safe lifestyle.

just thought you oughta know.
