Dear desk buddy. STFU already! We all get it. Your back is sore. It’s been sore for 3 months now since you, God forbid, had to walk half a mile. I’d have a little more sympathy if you’d talk about something else for once or didn’t let out loud sighs every 3 minutes looking for more attention. Maybe you wouldn’t be in such pain if your body was used to something other than Egg McMuffins everyday (no exaggeration…EVERYDAY!) So, put down the greasy fast food. Go get some GD exercise and then the slightest bit of movement wouldn’t put you out of commision for months at a time. —Walking Does The Body Good

  1. sore backs are not always due to bad eating or being overweight. i hope you never have to find that out. have some pity the pain can be debilitating.

  2. I agree with Wogdog, but I also think you should show your (not pity) compassion and sympathize verbally with the sufferer every time there is a sigh. Every time. You’ll see this will help both of you.

  3. OP i have spinal arthritis. I exercise and eat well but there are some days, sometimes WEEKS where i can’t even cook for myself because the pain is so bad. And yet, LIKE YOUR COWORKER, here i am. At work everyday and not sponging off the system. I do my best but some days are so painful i cry in the shower while i’m getting read for work. I’m not old OP. I’m young and SHOULD be strong but instead, I have a miserable, DEGENERATIVE affliction i have to live with for the rest of my life.

    Did you know op that it’s especially hard at this time of year? the cold makes me stiff and gimpy. I feel like I’m on fire most of the time. and yet, LIKE YOUR COWORKER, here i am. At work. Trying. making an effort to not let this beat me.

    Your attitude is fucking disgusting. But the good thing? If you’re sitting at a desk all day, it’s only a matter of time before you know EXACTLY what some of us are going through already.

    Lick my balls op.

  4. I thought you ate crayons? They’re not good for you!!
    It’s wishful thinking that OB sitting at a desk all day will end in back pain. Not necessarily true. Maybe butt cancer.
    Beaker bottle bottom syndrome?

  5. Like crayons mentioned, a back problem could be congenital or a result of an injury not necessarily the result of a sedentary lifestyle. I have a co-worker that talks about her ailments all the time so I know what you’re talking about OP but show some concern and then hope it doesn’t happen to you.

  6. Welcome back Troodon.

    I had a question for you last week,about the animal in my persona photo.Ivan was kind enough to answer.

    BTW Ivan I rudely forgot to formally thank you for answering my question.

  7. No problem Boru, I was happy to help. I hope Trood didn’t mind me stealing a march on him. It was the kind of quest that I live for.

  8. Well, according to Wikipedia they are one of the larger African antelopes. Their meat is supposed to be lean and tasty , like venison. They once ranged through most of Southern and Eastern Africa and their spiral horns are used as ceremonial musical instruments by Yemenite Jews.

  9. Very. Their markings make for an effective camouflage in the scrub forest and savannah that is their usual habitat.

  10. @Ivan. Wikipedia is a hoax and mixes with it half truths mixed with the imaginary in a way it proposes the truth with out actually committing to it. It’s premise is to present a story which seems reasonable enough to be counted as truth.

    @OB. This sounds like it was written about me with some minor differences. Although i can’t imagine a single person i work with who would either take interest in my life, much less care. (just the way i like it btw).
    I sigh aaaaa lot. it’s due to the medication i’m on. it relaxes my diaphragm which lessens the oxygen to my body (shallower breaths)….. kinda like when people yawn when they’re low on oxygen too due to being tired and relaxed.
    Further to my ailments, i was in a car accident a few years back which crushed my vertibrae which the psyatic nerve extends through to channel feeling to ones legs. This was a tough ole row to hoe at the time as my wife left our kids and i the day after it happened. Since then the pain is managable to high degree. this injury gets exacerbated and inflames when physical activity which involves bending and lifting. Over last weekend I was organizing my storage/laundry room to create a bigger play area for my kids. I couldn’t even sit in my chair for more than 10 minutes at a time. And admittedly making more goans about it than perhaps necessary. but certainly not in an excess to disturb those around me. In order to maintain the freedom of pain, I walk a kilometer every day, take the stairs not the elevator and engage in yoga every evening for an hour after the kids are in bed for the night.

    OB, i write on such a personal note because it seems as though you haven’t bothered to take the time to actually know the people you work with before you condem them to your ‘thoughtful’ prose.

    Oh, and my addiction to the breakfast sandwich extends to Tim Horton’s not McD’s. and I’ve gotten in the habit of going to get one out of the need to get out of the office.

    Yes, I see what you mean. The part in the artice that stated that all 112 Greater Kudus employed by Cantor Fitzgerald called in sick on Sept. 11, 2001 seemed a little dodgy.
    Thanks for the heads-up.

    I’ve surfed enough through wikiland, embedded link to link, following interesting historical time lines (as an example), and there really is no wiki overseer to correct misinformation, which if you read the disclaimers, is it’s big experiment of social interaction. And as long as there is ONE person spreading misinformation there, it’s an unreliable uncontrolled source of pure LIES! I know there are way more than just one person spreading misinformation on this ‘mental playground’. Not all the history or facts presented are false, but there’s enough falsehoods to consider this website unreliable to truth.

    Orwell’s Winston Smith made disinformation because it was his job to do so. in an imaginary (read – fictional tale) distopian structure.

    These people spreading lies on WIKI do it for a much darker and hateful reason. leading those who don’t understand wiki’s fictional state to believe their constructed lies.
