I'm concerned for your well being. It has been over a week since we last talked. I just hope you
took the gun out of your mouth. I bought us Wendy's the other day, but couldn't locate you.
Hey, look friend, let's just cut the shit. Now we both know why I was transferred. Everybody thinks I'm suicidal, in which case, I'm fucked and nobody wants to work with me; or they think I'm faking to draw a psycho pension, in which case, I'm fucked and nobody wants to work with me. Basically, I'm fucked.

Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning was at a sports banquet Thursday night in Omaha Nebraska and he promised the crowd of 1,200 he'll keep shouting "Omaha!" at the line of scrimmage, the Associated Press reports.
Manning has been using the city's name as part of his pre-snap routine for years, but his "Omaha!" chants put the city of 400,000 in the national spotlight during the playoffs because they came in so loud and clear over television field microphones.
"I can't tell you how many suggestions I get on what word I should use next year — cities, states, businesses, a lot of websites," Manning said. "I am here to tell you I am sticking with 'Omaha!'
Manning gave no hint about what his "Omaha!" chants really mean or the reason why he and other quarterbacks use the word as they change plays at the line.
Rex Ryan has been more subdued since John Idzik came to town in 2013, but on Thursday the Jets’ head coach pounded his chest over the talent he believes his team has on its roster, Seth Walder of the New York Daily News reports.
“I’ll be honest with you: I’m not so sure there will be too many people that want to play us,” Ryan said on WFAN. “And that’s the truth.”
Ryan has said he doesn’t like to make guarantees anymore because of the pressure it puts on his players, so when he was asked if the Jets are a playoff team, the coach initially hesitated. When pressed over the playoffs and with the caveat that he wasn’t expected to make a guarantee, Ryan finally said, “Of course. Absolutely. I know what our goal is and I believe we can reach it.”
The Jets were 8-8 last season but finished the year by winning three of their final four games so Ryan is hoping he can ride that better play all the way into September. The Jets appear better on paper than they did a year ago: Eric Decker and Jace Amaro should be receiving options that were desperately needed and Calvin Pryor could provide some thump to the secondary.
“Things are looking up,” Ryan said. “I think we are going to have more weapons.”
