Today I go get a routine physical/checkup -- I haven't had one since college, and my first-ever health insurance plan kicked in May 1. Four months have passed since I waited my last table and took this swank new job working for the State of Texas. On my last shift, I weighed myself on the meat scale: 154 lbs, per usual, on the nose.

Now that I've become a government man, my days are punctuated by blissful pilgrimages to the Taco Truck ($4.00 get's you three gorditas, five flautas, half a chicken, or what has to be 3/4 lb. of Carne Guisada, plus beans and rice), or Noodlism ($8.00 = 1/4 gallon of penne bolognese), or Rocket's Burgers ($5.50 1/2lb. burger, they wrap the meat in foil so you can assemble-and-eat hot at your desk). Or The Onion Pizza ($5.45, two monster slices). I confess, I've detected a thickening around the middle. However, I was in no way prepared for what awaited me at the medical examination.
