Starting over... Again.

I have decided to start working on this little "weight loss project" of mine again. It's been well over a year since I was on an actual "diet" and unfortunately I wound up gaining back the weight I had initially lost on "weight watchers". On top of that happy fun fact I also have been having a trouble with the blood sugar. with that in mind I have decided it was time to stop being stupid about it and fix it.

I'm going to stick with the same format as I once did, weight check once a week, blood sugar twice a day and blood pressure once, I am also keeping a record of all consumption food, meds, or other wise. On a more up-beat note, I'll be posting recipes and accounts of all the hilarious shit that happens to me on a semi daily basis.

So first the Meds


This is my pre-breakfast every morning. Delicious.

What I Consumed.

*OK so I blew it on day one, as far as my blood results, shoot me.

Tip one: Forget looking in the "Help Wanted" section of your local paper, it's not gonna happen. Instead check the obituaries and police blotter.


Tip two: You can try walking in and asking, but chances are your gonna be talking to the owner who is there because he can't afford employees, or it's an employee will shoot you down right away fearing you are "out to get" his or her position.

Tip three: Write a creative resume and doodle on it, then forget it at home because no one will ask for one.

Tip four: Do not apply to the shop you buy comics at, in other words don't "Shit in your own backyard".  Chances are those folks at the shop you frequent, they have opinions of you. Good or bad it's better to start with a clean slate.

Tip five: Let's suppose you actually got an interview. DO NOT wear a comic themed t-shirt. Assuming that wearing what you want is the wrong approach, on the other hand show up in a tie and your gonna get made fun of, probably to your face and definitely when you leave.

Tip six: Be a girl

Tip seven: Avoid droning on about your favorite comics, even if asked DO NOT elaborate on how much of a "Buffy" fan you are or how you think that "Aqua-man" could take the hulk in a fair fight.

Tip eight: Avoid trying to connect with the interviewer, he or she doesn't want to hear about how much of a travesty Fox's cancelation of "Firefly" was or how bad "League of Extraordinary Gentleman" is.  Besides they already know.

Tip nine: Be good at something, and be reliable. Chances are if you have to count on your fingers and have trouble reading, your screwed. However even if you are a wiz with numbers and can tell the difference between "there", "their" and "they're" It not worth a lick of good if you can't get to work on time.

Tip ten: The most important tip for getting a job at a comic shop, the one and only, sure fire way. Open your own...


...and hire a girl.
