Lady Goes 44 years without taking a sick day


Yahoo- Can you imagine going one year without using a sick day at your job? Now imagine not using a sick day for 44 years! Well, today Ms. Deborah Ford is retiring from the U.S. Postal Service after going 44 years without using any of her sick days.
The cutest thing is that Ms. Ford doesn’t see what all the fuss is about. According to ABC News Ford told reporters, “I was trying to do the best I could, and that just evolved into working all my scheduled days.”
She says when she was sick she would just “shake it off,” and for doctors appointments she would use vacation days.
They just don’t make ‘em like this anymore. You rarely see this kind of workplace commitment. Although, shaking it off doesn’t seem like the best method for recovery or keeping the rest of the office from getting sick, I respect the dedication.
Ford, who is 64 years old, will be retiring in her home town of Detroit from her job in payroll and timekeeping management for the city’s main post office. We congratulate her on her dedication to the US Postal Service and wish her well in retirement.

Its been a while since my last blog but I felt like I had to chip in on this story.  I'm honestly concerned for this lady. I've pretty much gotten a taste of my retirement over the last week. It's been unbelievable. I chalk it up to experience. Some might go crazy, doing nothing all day every day. Not me. Ice water in my veins. Biggest 9 days off in my life and I'm pitching a perfect game. Just doing absolutely nothing and loving it. But I've played in the big game before. I've called in sick, I've used vacation days, I've seen it all. But this lady doesn't even use her vacation days right. I mean using your them to go to the Doctor's office? So your vacation every year, for the last 44 years, is a trip to the Doctor's? How riveting! Honestly I can see the story now. Two days into retirement this lady offs herself. Book it.

This Mini-Vacation Is Ruining My life

No joke, I haven't woke up before 3:00 PM once since I've been on this mini-vaca. Just staying up til 4 am, waking up at 4 PM. I woke up yesterday, and I knew it was gonna be 4 PM but I was praying the clock would say 1. It didn't. I was legit crossing my fingers that it was only 1 PM not 4 PM. I always thought this would be the life and how I'd be if I was a millionaire, but after the last 6 days I'm seriously  reconsidering ever taking a day off from work again. I don't catch my first wind until like midnight now. How the fuck am I supposed to go back to work now?

Two quick Tinder questions

I have a couple questions for the ladies of the Tinder world. My first being whats up with the pictures of girls and their (ex?) boyfriends? Like why would you put up a picture of you snuggling with your boyfriend. You think I'm gonna like that? How about a picture of you in your Halloween costume or what you wear out on a Friday night, then I'll give you a shot. But all these chicks with pictures of them hugging and kissing their boyfriends can get outta my face. Don't waste my time bitch.
Second, what about the chicks with pictures of them with a baby? Does that mean your a mom? Like you have a kid and your showing them off on your Tinder profile? Great parenting. Don't get me wrong on this one I don't mind banging a chick with a kid, but don't flaunt it in my face. I don't need to see a baby in your lap while I'm trying to decide if I'd bang you or not. Just saying it's not helping your chances.

Lets get something straight I did NOT get fired

Everyone's been texting me "Dudeeee can't believe they fired you for that blog". Ummm did you guys not read the whole blog? I already gave my two weeks notice. In fact I gave three weeks just to be a nice guy. I had four days left, and already put in over two weeks. Once you say your giving your two weeks you've quit. Sure if you get fired in that time its not the best look, but still I made the first move. I got a new job. I told them I was out. Classic case of "I quit, WELL YOU CANT QUIT BECAUSE YOUR FIRED".

Madden '13 predicts Ravens win Super Bowl 27-24

Anyone who knows anything about me knows this much, Madden is what I'm good at. I may not read good, or spel good, but I can crush you on the sticks. Madden 13 was easily the best Madden to ever be released (Ya I say that every year) and if they say Baltimore's gonna win well then it's time to hammer Baltimore. At least hedge my bet I already made on the 49ers about ten weeks ago. This video made me sweat if it ends like this well it'll be one exciting super bowl.

PS- Do we have an over/under on how many times Ray Lewis cries yet? I say it should be 2.5 and I'd take the over.

Boy Scouts to reverse gay ban...

Boy scouts are still a real thing huh? Hey I have no problem with this whatsoever, but my real question is how do you ban a gay in the first place. Do you make them take a piss test or something? Is there a way to test for the gay? Like if I was gay and really wanted to get into the cub scouts I'd just pretend I was straight, talk about tits and ass and feet (if your into that sorta thing) and BAM infiltrate the system. I mean personally I always thought boy scouts were like all gay but I guess not.

Rise Bartman....Rise

So its been a few hours since the last blog and I think we all know why. I felt defeated. Beaten. Bane broke my back, the city of Gotham was gone, my blog was no more. Then I got a few texts of encouragement from an old buddy. Then I turned the lights back on, crushed some doritos, and a drank a coke. Maybe its the sugar rush talking but fuck giving up. Big deal I don't think I got the internship I was looking for but should I give up now? Adversity can be a great motivator, and thats all this is. A little hiccup in an otherwise long blogging career. I'm gonna blog that much harder, that much funnier, that much more. This will be a day I will not soon forget. Today I climb out of the pit, like Bruce Wayne here. Rise indeed Bartman. Rise.
