please do. it would save me a ton of time. in fact, you should come visit with me and stay in my new guest bedroom and take the light rail into the city where you could be picky and rude, telling me how much cooler new york and even columbus are to charlotte.

You know what else isn’t classy? Making your customers dig through a pile of sweaters to find the size she needs, forcing her to unfold half a dozen sweaters in the process. I’m coming to your store with a black Sharpie to mark all the sizes on the sweaters themselves. Beware.

Haha loved it! And I feel your struggle with the fact that I hate running but want to lose weight!

Hooray! You’re writing! And hooray! You’re running! I’ve quit running this summer, apparently. It’s too damn hot! Also, I too suffer from unfortunate Inner-Thing Advanced Chafing Syndrome (ITACS). I also have a severe case of Exercise-Induced Red-Faced Disorder (EIRFD). In addition, “EIRFD” is the sound I make when I run in 90 degree temps.

Um, I was going to be all offended about the whole “I pretend I’m still close to Jana” thing, but since I’m posting on this three months later…yeah. I guess you’re right.

Let’s amend that, shall we?

I would cry.

Seriously, though. I was in a similar position several (seven? eight?) years ago. I was working in a job that was supposed to be my dream job, but I found out quickly how much I hated it.

I dragged my feet for years and years before finally doing what I really wanted to do: drop everything to devote myself to grad school applications. Move away and start a masters program. At an age that seemed (to me) way too old to be starting over.

Totally, totally worth it.

This breaks my heart. I hate that you got stuck doing something so crappy, too.

For what it’s worth: no girlfriend, skinny or otherwise.
