One week down...

Maybe I should change the title of this blog to "Memoirs From the World's Most Educated Meter Reader." The meter reading job started Monday and as of today, I have lost 7 lbs. Another month and I'll be down to my ideal weight (168 lbs.) and be able to start lifting weights again. Too bad you can't lift weights while gaining muscle mass AND lose weight at the same time. Alas, our mere human bodies are just not capable of that.

The things I saw this week solidify my perspective on the human race. End result = NO HOPE IN HELL! How we have made it this far quite simply defines the word "miracle." I'll start blogging my experiences as the weeks go on.

Many in the office asked why a guy with a Ph.D. is working in the meter reading office. My answer is, "I want too." Having worked in corporate America, albeit a mere short time compared to my peers, left enough of a bad taste in my mouth to last me forever. This job affords me the opportunity to work outside (a passion) and see the sights, and gather information for my future tome.
