The whale at work: a true story So there is this guy at work, ~30yrs, about 5'9", 320 lbs, who smokes, drinks, and doesn't work out one bit, obviously.  About 2 months ago, his heart started racing and he went to the emergency room.  The doctors did a bunch of tests, etc.  He was out of work for about a week then. A week later he shows back up, and he didn't smoke... for about 3 days.  He quickly falls back into his old habits smoking, drinking, and maintaining his no-neck status. About 2 weeks later, he has another "episode" with his racing heart, and goes back to the hospital. I don't know for sure what his doctor said.  He hasn't been back to work since.  He now gets to "work from home".  One thing the doctor did say was that it wasn't his diet.  The guy thinks he has some mystery ailment.  He tries to play the pity card. So now, this fat shit gets to "work from home" everyday eating, drinking, and smoking. Being a huge piece of shit is a lifestyle choice.  This guy has health problems because of his horrible lifestyle.  I'm trying to get him fired at work, because now that he works from home all the time, he really isn't accountable to anybody, and he's flaking out on his responsibilities. Being fat isn't a disease.  It's a f%$ing choice.  F#$% that guy.  He's definitely going to die young.
