If yall Du’ers see me somewhere, please tell me how you think I could improve myself.

If I lost a bunch of weight, it would probably improve my appearance.

Same if I spend more time doing my hair, wore makeup, spent more money on my clothes, got my nails done, got plastic surgery to make my lips thicker, didn’t wear glasses. (Of course, if I didn’t wear glasses, I’d need a service animal, but that could be worked out.)

Of course, I never would’ve thought of any of these things on my own. I must be channeling Jeff or somebody else, even as I type this.

RAISED TO THE 10th power.

...until you are shamed into changing.

That's helping. And it wouldn't be my fault for being an asshole, so much as it'd be your fault for needing to change so much that I had to ridicule you.

In fact, telling you it's your fault is the first step. I feel better already!

The receipts that are printed have very few options. The number of guests is entered as a number, not as a snarky remark. The restaurant's name and date and hour are printed on the receipt by the machine.

So I call bullshit on the entire story. It shows one guest and three tri tip entrees. Which is it? One fat girl eating three tri tips or three guests like the story claims?

I see a lot of receipts for meals. I do travel and entertainment reimbursements in my job.
