I felt embarrassment for the writer and Oracle. The fact that it was taken down confirms they felt that way as well upon reflection. It wasn't professional. Just my opinion.
As a lifetime fat person the best decision I made was to go on a paleo diet. Essentially: No grains, no legumes, no processed food, no dairy. Limit intake to : grass fed meat (when possible), veggies, some select nuts, limited fruit.
That in combination with stopping drinking, eliminating pop and just adding some mild walking has made a huge impact. I don't worry about portion size, counting calories etc.
If you are like me, you might want to check paleo out.
Congrats to the author, if this refills the battery good for him. That being said, be thankful you didn't have to get up at the crack of dawn and commute like most of the world. Working at home only seems like a burden to those who don't have to commute.
The problem is that the military does not have the kind of medical containment systems on a scale that they need. They just aren't equipped for this type of mission. Battlefield triage and hospitals won't help in this situation.
Also, if making "the dumbest, most impatient, penny-pinching DICK HEAD out there" fills you with disgust, disdain, rage, sadness, etc. it might be time to reconsider your career choice. As much as we may wish it, the users never go away.
