OT - I'm bored, Part Pangos & Bell!

It doesn't really count though because I do that every day and my body is used to it. Normally I do that, go to practice 3-4 times a week, and hit the gym once or twice. But I didn't do any of that this week. I'm backed up!

I'm in my best friends wedding in three weeks (in upstate New York!) so I better get back to it and work off this plus a little extra.

Other than that, I've been having a rough go of things this year but I'm trying to make it all work out. How are you, birdie?

Also been having a rough go of things. About 3 weeks ago I cut off my friendship with that girl I liked so much. Couldn't take it anymore. It was clear she was never going to change her mind.

Feeling surprisingly good atm about the whole thing, but for 4-5 days I didn't get out of bed.

I've had weird shit happening all year. My dad was told that his cancer has reached the point of needing chemo and he's refusing. My brother got deployed to Afghanistan last week. I had to move, and because of twitter my rent went up $400 a month. I'm constantly fighting and making up with a guy who is not even my boyfriend by normal definitions. I made my leagues all star team (we're #3 in the world, no big deal). But then I got indefinitely benched by my all star team. Then my normal team benched me for an important game because I was too emotionally distracted and not working hard enough which doesnt set a good example for the girls who arent all star team players. Coaches felt i should be held to a higher standard then everyone else. I rage quit a job and then couldnt find one for months. now I have two but they both take an hour or more to get to and im having trouble syncing my schedules between the two. I witnessed a fight that led to a murder so I've been taken in for questioning and pestered by detectives (prosecution and defense!) for weeks. And I was in the er last night because I'm sick and don't have insurance and needed to get anti biotics. I'm sure the bill will be lovely.

Life could for sure be harder and it is for a lot of people. But I just feel tired and overwhelmed and like I'm constantly letting someone down.

But I think I got everything handled from here on out. Just need to focus

Apologies for the spelling and grammar errors. I'm on my phone and it's wonky. Waiting for a bus. Like I do for about 30% of my daily life.

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

That IS a rough go of it.

You'll pull through, tho! :vee:

 

[KillerVee]

Sorry to hear about the girl. I know it doesn't help to hear but you'll move on. I should probably do the same with mine but... I'm not ready yet.

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

Once I decided to continue living, it did feel like a weight had been lifted. I'll be OK.

A few things: HI VEEEEEEE! Sorry to hear of a rough go of it...that's heavy stuff.


I hate the Pirates.


Yep, that's it.

 

[puckhead]

huh. mariners got 4 runs with only one hit tonight. (2 in each of 2 innings)
wonder how that happened. no errors by the Astros either.



edit:
- walk, walk, passed ball, sac fly, passed ball
- walk, walk, double to clear 'em

talk about efficiency.

the good news, she didn't flinch.
the bad news... she should have

Upstate NY? or WNY, so many people get that wrong.

Hi pix!!

Bro, I don't even know. It's about 45 minutes out of Utica?

Pfft, I'm a little drunk? My restaurant makes sake sangria. I pounded a beer and a to go cup of sangria and now I'm trying to text everyone to tell them I love them? This some strong stuff.

I wish the chick on the cell would have taken that right between the eye's. Drives me nuts when I go to a game and some people spend half of their time on their cell phones.

I didn't get my text !

 

[KillerVee]

Now that I think about it, I was too busy at work to eat dinner so I probably shouldn't have had sake on an empty stomach. C'est la vie!

Ps: this is a Psa. If you're waitress forgets something, ask her for it. Don't punish her afterwards with a shitty tip or a shitty note on the bill. Especially if she asks you multiple times how everything is or if you need anything. We're humans, not robots. Sometimes something you asked for falls out of our brain, especially if she has 10 other tables! Thank you!

 

[BOSSMANPC]

I have always been a good tipper. I know what they go through and put up with, they take shit that isn't their fault and are expected to smile and wish you a nice day no matter how crappy they were treated. I could never do that type of work because I'd get fired for telling people to fuck off.

It's a thankless job and too many people think you're there to be their personal slave........Screw that.

Yesterday a waiter forgot to bring another round of bread to our table and needed reminding that we had a $5 coupon. It was pretty packed in the restaurant so I said fuck it and gave him the full 20% tip of $8.22 anyway.

And yes, I remember Vee always tips 25% but that's a California thing, not a midwest thing.

Tigers are having a devil of a time trying to take just one game against KC. Up 2-1 in the 7th.
