There are a grand total of ZERO circumstances that make chicken chili at 2am a good idea. Great people, a lot of laughs, too much to drink, and a terrible showing of impulse control with a spoon led to a painful following day, so please accept this tip as gospel.
I’m gonna be tied up for the next couple of weeks, if you care. In our industry, when you start carrying a new drug, or in my case, when you keep your job and have to re-learn your drug for the THIRD time, the company sends you some brief night table reading. Then they put you in front of a firing squad and ask you to recite it word for word. And THEN, they pull you away from your family, test you on your ability to recount all of that data to a healthcare professional, all the while holding your family’s financial well-being and food for your children as incentive for you to get a score of 90% or better.
It’s all fairly low stress, and positive.
As you can maybe imagine, the chicken chili had less of an impact on my tract than the next couple of weeks will. The upside is that the amount of vomiting and shaking the next weeks will bring will be fantastic for weight loss. If I am strangely quiet it is because I may be focused on other things.
Although, some would argue that some quiet from me may be a good thing. I call those people “my wife and kids”.

Oh bud, I’ll say a prayer for sudden onset of photographic memory.
My brother used to go through a bottle of Tums every other day when he had to memorize. Luckily, his division was gastrointestinal drugs. Free samples – the perks of being a pill pusher
Good thoughts your way.
Also sending up the heavenward pleas for a miraculous memory for you.. all that late night vodka and facebook can’t be helping!!
Hugs and Savant-like abilities to you my friend!
I feel for ya…though chili does sound good right about now.
why don’t you study and I’ll worry about the chili and eating thing for you…keep one more thing off your plate.
Good Luck Jay!
I suck at memorizing anything. Hopefully you dont. Hang in there!
Good luck with the late night reading…keep us posted on your progress and lay off the chili
Damn, this better be a GREAT drug – somewhere along the lines of percocet, I hope!
I will miss you… hope its a damn good drug… hang in there… oh and the chili… not such a good idea!
Good luck! I never much like tests in school and find it unfair that they still happen in the real world. I’ll be thinking of ya.
Oy. Sending Pepto Bismol thoughts your way…
Good luck dude. We’re pulling for you and your stomach.
Hey Jay!
Love the new blog look! Nice tip, by the way.
Hope the next few weeks are easy on the tummy. If not … pepto bismol and febreze, my friend.
Good luck on your studies. I hope that somehow the osmosis of sleeping with those books as a pillow (did I mention that that pile of books looks like a pillow) will help you pass with flying colors (not that those white books have any color to begin with).
Hope you’re still hanging in there!!
Testing my Gravatar…sorry.
You people and all your fancy technology.
Yeah, I said you people.
I will join in with the wife & kids celebrating the moments of quiet. Oh – did I just say that out loud? Yes, I did – while I was typing it.
Oh how I do not envy the. Best wishes pal. I know all will go well. You are a closet genius. Oh the word is now out. Sorry
