this is why I will NEVER have another sit-down job

I just ran some numbers out of bordom, and figurd that in less than 2 years, I gained 65 lbs. WTF.
how does that happen? sittin on your butt 9 hours a day 5 days a week at a company thats constantly feeding you. i remember twice a week theyd bring breakfast for EVERYONE (like, 3 thousand people) bagels, like 8 different cream cheeses, muffins, donuts, veggies and ranch, cookies (oh god the cookies)... and I drank their delicious coffee and cappuchinos all day long... oye. always had pizza, and outings to bars, and not to mention the amazing food in the cafeteria.

im so glad work now keeps me on my feet 10 hours a day lol. just by not sitting on my butt all day I lost my first 25 lbs over oh.. 4 months or so.
crazy!

um, I cant remember vermont laws right off the top of my head, but most states have required internships for massage students. So if vermont has that you can stop by your local massage school and get discounted intern massages.
at my spa there its 30 bucks for an hour intern massage, and they're as good if not better than the licensed therapists. I always tell people you may have to go through a couple therapists before you find the right one, everyone has their own style, and what they do might not work for you. for example, Personally, people who do the strokes too fast annoy me and I cant relax, and I like more pressure so I prefer people with stronger hands, etc.
