    Sure - except 2/3 of what you're saying you eat (Power Bars and Clif Bars) have more calories, more carbs, and more sodium than a snickers bar.

    Before you were recommending TWO Snickers. After I compared the labels and proved that my combo is better than your combo, you're now recommending ONE Snickers.

    I suggest you stop talking out of your ass and stop giving nutritional advice to fat people.

    Because one of the best ways to lose weight and keep it off is to build muscle by doing weight-bearing exercises.

    Been there, done that. Over ten years ago, I lifted weights for a year and went from 325 pounds to 375 pounds. Considering how hard it was to find 4XL shirts, I stopped lifting weights, switched to cardio, dropped to 350 pounds, and went back to 2XL shirts. I still have the muscle mass. That's why I look like a football player and not a butterball. Prior to that I rode my bike 20 miles a day for three years to get a restaurant job.

    From there, it's a short stretch to imagine that the Cheetos vending machine in your office has your finger prints (and other, nastier secretions) all over it.

    From there you go back to your stereotype of fat people. How stupid can you be?

    Swatting asshats, as you call them, down to size will get you attention.

    "Swatting" is when you call the police to send over the SWAT team in a prank call to disrupt someone's life. You can think about doing it but I wouldn't recommend doing it.

    I read a study after the dot com bust that the IT industry will have a shortage of skilled workers as baby boomers retire and foreign workers go home by 2030. That's when I decided to go back to school to learn computer programming and got into IT support. I'm looking forward to making money in the next 30 years.

    If that's your definition of low-carb, you'd be better off eating two snicker's bars, then. Snickers bars have fewer calories, and fewer carbs.

    Let's compare the labels.

    Snicker's Bar (2x): 500 calories, 24g total fat, 9g sat fat, 54g sugars, 240mg sodium.
    Cliff Bar/Fiber One: 390 calories, 9.5g total fat, 3.5g sat fat, 30g sugars, 270mg sodium.

    The Cliff Bar/Fiber One combo has fewer calories, fewer total fat, fewer saturated fat, fewer sugars but more salt than a pair of Snickers.

    But everywhere I've worked a 3 year stint is on the low side.

    From my experience in tech, it takes two years to learn every aspect of a job and then another year to do that job exceptionally well. As the three-year mark approaches, I start looking for my next mountain to climb. I was a video game tester for three years and a lead video game tester for three years at the same company. Some jobs I left on my own and others I got laid off at the three-year mark.

    I wouldn't say that's common, but it's not rare either.

    Anybody that makes you be an asshole, or they won't do their job, is themselves a raging, festering, prolapsed asshole.

    Sometimes you have to be an asshole on purpose to get things done. Especially if a user files an "urgent" ticket and tells you to come back after lunch that would cause the "urgent" ticket to fall out of SLA.. When I worked helpdesk and desktop support, I had the best SLA rate (98.8%) in the department because I didn't tolerate that kind of nonsense.

    If _every_ boss (assuming your not 18) you've ever had was an asshole, that's you.

    The only asshole boss that I ever had lied about his numbers, committed multiple labor violations when he could, and rode the company into bankruptcy before he got fired.

    Before the Great Recession, I changed jobs every three years by either staying at the same company or leaving for another company. After the Great Recession, I took whatever job that came my way that lasted anywhere from four hours to years. I'm currently halfway through a five-year contract. Someone leaving at the three-year mark seems normal to me.

    Dude, 150 grams/day is NOT a low-carb diet.

One morning my supervisor came running over to explain that it was against policy to view Amazon on company time. That is until he saw that I had a breakfast burrito in hand and I told him to bugger off. It wasn't against policy to browse the Internet during breaks. The work around that everyone came up with was to buy PDA's to tap into the open Wi-Fi access point from the business next door and browse the Internet on our devices. The supervisor were happy because web browsing dropped significantly and workers were being more productive.

    I worked at a company that tried to take ownership of all past copyrights, trademarks and inventions unrelated to the company under a new IP agreement. That caused a big uproar as everyone was a creative person in some way. More than a few had their own IP attorney and most threaten to quit. HR had to step in to get legal to go back to the previous IP agreement.
