SLOG II
Here's something I forgot about.
9. Quit eating out of the snack jar at work. And, just to be clear, I mean quit eating snacks at work — this isn't a don't fish off the company's pier thing or a don't dip your pen in the company's ink well reference or a don't bang your coworkers crack. I simply mean I've got to quit eating crap out of the hard-candy jar. For about a month.
I've considered suing the company for making free snacks available (Animal Crackers, hard candies, and those caramel things with the powdered sugar in the middle … they're called Bullseyes … and I love them so) inasmuch as they know I have no willpower and why should I be bothered to have to make wise choices when it would be so much easier for me to not have the snacks there at all.
But I'm guessing that would involve some sort of paperwork, and I really don't have the time.
I wonder why the hell I got all worked up about McDonald's earlier in the day? It sort of started out as a joke about how much I eat at Micky D's and then rollercoastered into dumbasses suing companies for problems created due to their own idiocy.
What can I say. I just haven't been the same since Warren Zevon died. None of us have been, really. I suspect, however, that I'm a bit closer to recovery than most of you as I've awakened my awareness of my Missing-Warren-Zevon sadness.

But he's finally getting that sleep he was avoiding.

Cold man, cold.
(Still, not as cold as WZ, I guess.)

He told David Letterman that several times when he was talking about the fact he didn't like doctors and unfortunately was going to pay the ultimate price.
The bullseyes are my fav also. You can pick them all out and bring them to me if you can't handle the temptation.

You guys suck! No wonder I can never find any bullseyes in the candy bucket; you're both closer to it than me. I get stuck with those caramel toffee chews that don't taste like caramel or toffee.
My favorite WZ line
"I'm gonna hurl myself against the wall,
'Cause I'd rather feel bad,
Than feel nothin' at all."
