From WWR
For whatever it's worth, I am now officially off probation at FDLE. I made it through the probationary year, my superiors are extremely pleased with my work and everyone has been supportive and nice. Although my work is not exciting and not very interesting (data entry usually isn't either) it's steady and once the economy improves, I probably can move into other areas.
Also, an update on the gastric bypass surgery from March 2, 2006:
I have officially lost over 200 pounds and have lost 24 inches (that is two FREAKIN' FEET!) from my waistline. I now can buy clothes "off the rack" in just about any store selling men's clothes. This is something I haven't been able to do in more than two decades. It's all still hard to wrap my head around. I look at myself in the mirror and still see that old 425+ pound guy (I know I weight more than that but the scale at my family physician [at that time] only went up to 425 and I was pegging it out). I try to take a power walk around the block which is a mile as many times during the week and am trying to lose about 15 more pounds. Those are proving hard to lose.
Anyway, I realise that it's not polite to blow one's own horn but....
TOOT-TOOT!
