Lose weight and your BP goes *down*
Yeah, I am unsure of the causation on that. There's so much anti-fat pseudo science out there I don't even know what's what.
You were very nearly devoured by a giant demon snake. The words 'let that be a lesson' are a tad redundant at this juncture.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Me, too. But damn if it isn't bandied about like gospel.

Floor holiday party was today. And everyone just got an invite to the Directorate toast right now. I'm pretty sure close to nothing is getting done now. The number and topic of conversations I'm overhearing backs this up. Me, I'm the working grinch.

I'm afraid I'm in my semi-regular, health-inspired "Fine, I'll just die on you, I'll show you, health care industry!" mood at the moment. I am, however, resisting the urge to eat all the mashed potatoes--though there is the occasional helping with lots of butter and garlic, because Christmas, dammit. Fortunately I never had a sweet tooth. Still, I enjoy telling earnest health care advice professionals--not the doctors, the poor recent graduates who are in their first job as evangelists and missionaries to the unhealthy touting the wonders of exercise and good eating and all that stuff we know already, dammit--that "even if you have low blood pressure and all that, you're still going to die." I'm 52, child, you're barely legal to drink. Do not preach at me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I apparently have to hire someone ASAP, so I got access to the HR system, and man, are there a lot of terrible cover letters out there. There was also a note warning the reader away from a person who applies for every job here and was escorted out of a past job by security.
Also, it is snowing like crazy, but I think not accumulating too much yet? No one is ever getting home tonight.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I gained 100 pounds over the last 23 years, yo-yoing like you do, and yet my BP has always been around 120/80.

Very clever, msbelle.
