I stand up all day on a concrete slab floor. The mere thought of sitting gives me exciting shivers down my spine . All that said I carry 30 or so pounds I need to lose and I have gotten to a level of lazy rarely seen over the last 10 years.

Pfft. I've always had the metabolism of stone. A number of years ago, in the middle of losing 50 lbs but hitting a longish plateau, I decided to get detailed and measure exactly what I was taking in. 1200 calories per day. And not losing an ounce.

My metabolism has dropped further with a desk job. As a teacher, I was at least standing and moving around all the time (which is part of why I'm uncomfortable with sitting for extended periods).


oh. god. shecky. taught.  *cowers in fear*
and grasshoppers can't talk anyway, dammnit!

I don't have the hands to carry around a bloody cushion from piano to piano.  I'll deal.

My mental image of Shecky teaching is based on a professor I student-aided for when I was in 7th grade.  When the kids were the most focused and quiet, be it on a lab assignment or an exam, he would shout, "YES, I LOVE THIS CLASS!"  All the students feared and adored him. :D

Absolutely!  What names should I put on the list?
