Part 2: Joey and Zoey Go To Work

If you missed Part 1, catch up here:

Joey and Zoey go to School

After winter break….

Joey returned to classes and continued through college.

Zoey found work waitressing at Rod’s Bar and Grill. 

On road to graduating, Joey wrote papers that were type-able.

In order for Zoey to pay rent, she had to be like-able.

Joey sat through lectures and discussions that were debate-able.

With customers, Zoey was relatable.

Joey took tests that were pretty challenging.

Zoey was known to be very understanding. 

Joey could could speak fluent Chinese. He helped his roommate pass Calculus. He even knew how to hack into Netflix for free streaming. But he didn't know how to cook, so his Dad sent money for him to eat with. He didn’t know how to do his laundry, so every other weekend, he took it home for his Mom to do. 

The fanciest math trick Zoey knew was the Pythagorean Theorem. She could only name 4 U.S. Presidents. She didnt right good neither. After high school, her parents cut her off. With little recourses, Zoey was forced to be self-sufficient.

After graduating, Joey accepted a job with an online Search Engine service with headquarters 20 minutes from campus. 

At the same time, Zoey got her 15th tattoo.

Saturday Night Binge

Only two things have kept me off Netflix this afternoon - the Patriots’ game, and the writing of this blog post. Over the last eight hours, I have done little more than get pissed off, watching ‘Making a Murderer’. If you aren't engrossed along with me, my guess is you have either…

1. already watched it
2. decided you will watch it soon
3. done the same with a different TV series

Viewing in bulk presents the following problems - you don’t get a damn thing done, your legs fall asleep from too much sitting, and you begin to incorrectly identify yourself as an expert in the subject matter. Of course, the convenience of getting to finish each episode commercial-free, and the immediately available next episode, obviously eclipse the aforementioned problems. The ultimate effect is that you are a satisfied viewer.

Unlike binge watching, binge exercising lacks positive effects. If you work out for ten days in a row, then proceed to skip the gym for the next ten, you won’t see progress. Yo-yo exercising is close to as ineffective (for health benefits) as not exercising at all. You've lost 12 pounds over the last 15 days - and that’s great. But if you fail to continue your efforts, you will certainly re-gain those 12, plus more.

In order to reap the benefits of working out, one must adhere to a long term plan. Consistency is the most important factor.
