Down to 211 from 235-240. Turns out raising a kid and cutting out all that sugar/carbs is a weight loss plan.

So is writing down everything you eat, so you can shame yourself out of a trip to the fridge.

Diabetics:  Bad people AND OCD.

I'm hoping to avoid that, the writing things down thing, I already shame myself out trips to the fridge or buying certain things at the store.

It's more important than metformin.  169% dead serious.  It is the difference between a 5.5 A1C and getting toes amputated.

I am disturbed by the fact that I now wear suits or "business casual" more often than jeans & a black tee shirt.  And that my engineer boots have been under the bed for weeks.

This can't be good for me.

God. My fucking mil everytime I mention how my sugar's been or what my A1C is: "Why are you worried? Those great numbers." For a fucking diabetic maybe. My A1C is 5.7 which is still prediabetic but it's so far the "well check every 6mon to a year" not "well every 3 months we want your blood you degenerate sugar fiend."

Mine is 5.6, which only requires 2 MORE pills a day, monk-like discipline, and starvation.

What's amazing is that I used to take drugs to fuck myself up, and now I take them to be LESS fucked up.

In short, if you're prediabetic, you can act like you're diabetic and occasionally have a beer, or you can ignore it and never have a beer again.

So a break-in happened a few houses down from my girlfriend's parents house, and the police were going around asking the neighbors if they saw anything.  They got to my gf's parents, and knocked on the door.  Gf's mom opens the door and greets the officer, and while they are talking, the family dog manages to escape.  The dog (Buster) got out onto the porch and was growling at the cop, and the cop decided to go right up to Buster and try to grab him.  Buster nipped the cop on the ankle and backed off.  Cop swears, takes a step back, pulls out his pistol, and in what is clearly an act of revenge and absolutely not self-defense, shoots Buster three times, killing him.

Cop goes to hospital, plays it up like the wound (which I was told barely broke the skin) was a huge thing.  The family, hysterical and wrecked (major animal lovers), file a formal complaint with the police department.  The police department, I'm guessing to strengthen their case in case they get sued, FINE the family a bunch of money for "out of control animal" AND charge them for the hospital bill despite the wound not requiring stitches or anything more than a fucking band-aid.

Buster, the 9 year old Australian Shepard, was a friendly family dog.  Great with kids, loved people, and was protective of his property from strangers.  He was absolutely NOT any sort of menace.  There wasn't a mean bone in his body.

And people wonder why I hate the police as much as I do.

This is why opening the door when the cops visit is a bad idea.  If you have a dog you absolutely should require a warrant, for the dog's safety.

Stomping in Italian shoes is just plain wrong.  It's not satisfying.  It feels as if I am just mailing it in.  :sadbanana:

So my common areas manager, we'll just call her "Linda", is a bundle of anxiety and bad wiring.  She can run a crew, but it's more or less the absolute limit of her capabilities on a good day.  Anyway, she fucks up really, really badly.  Like "the board wants her ass on toast" bad.  To make a long story short, she had her crew strip about 6 acres of landscaping to make weed control easier.  Which must have seemed like a good idea at the time.  I guess.

I step in and haul her out of the fire, at no small effort or indeed "cost to my own standing", despite the fact that she and her entire department are being transferred to another (new) director on April 2nd.

She spends the next 3 days jumping at shadows.  I tell her to relax.  Things seem to be okay.

Then the HR lady tells me that she, this morning, has complained about me for "not taking her situation seriously" and for "talking to one of her guys without talking to her first" (the discussion was a purely personal one about which military units we had been in, as opposed to work issues), and she now seems to think that I am to blame somehow for her egregiously insane fuck up in the first place.

Obviously, at this point she is entirely on her own.

So when you wonder why upper management seems to be full of complete pricks, now you know.

In other news, I just got an email from Comcast telling me that I have used 90% of my GB allowance for this month.

There is no GB allowance in my contract.
