The clock winding down, quickly.
I was sitting in the sauna at my gym today, when a man, about 55-60 years old, with a huge gut entered the room completely out of breath. He sat down next to a woman I can only assume was his wife, and panted for about another 5 minutes. She asked him what he had been doing. He replied that he was doing laps in the pool, doing every lap on one breath. She said “Are you trying to kill yourself?”. To which he replied, “If I can’t do one lap on a single breath, then I’ll just take a stim.“.
“Stim” meaning stimulant.
Great idea! Take a stimulant, which is only going to increase your heart rate, and thus increase your oxygen consumption, making it even HARDER to make that lap. You’ll pass out, or have a coronary, before you even get halfway across the pool. Not only that, but you need to lose about 90 pounds before you even attempt anything harder than a treadmill.
And people wonder why heart attacks are the number one killer of middle-aged male Americans.

Welcome To 2007...Continued
Earlier I posted on how thrilled I am that my current employer decided they no longer require my services. Their reason? Well, none. But they did hire a guy named Eric to replace me. I saw his audition. It was quite good. He sang a song from "Jesus Christ Superstar", which needless to say was not in the style of the show he was auditioning for at all. I doubted they would hire him. Way too ethnic looking, too much of an R&B sound. But they did hire him, and I was fired.
Then Eric failed his pre-employment drug test.
Seems this company can't replace me without finding the WORST choice possible.
So, now scrambling to find a replacement for my replacement, management decides to hire a guy named Paul from New York. Just so happens that one of the female singers in the show has worked with him before. He played Ali Hakim in "Oklahoma" with her. In case you don't know Oklahoma, that role barely sings and doesn't dance at all. Now, the clueless management of my current production has a horrible habit of hiring male singers who don't know their right foot from their left, so I ask this girl, "How good is this guy? Can he dance at all?" To which she replies, "Well, he's not that much of a dancer. Actually acting is more his forte."
Great. An actor. Hired for a singing/dancing role.
And this is my replacement?
Way to go you dumb fucks.
