Slippin away
I finally have Saturday off and what did I do today? Nothing. Nothing at all. I read, watched movies, showered, ate, did some laundry, but was bored and depressed the entire time. My mind is getting bad again. I just want to take off and drive somewhere, but gas is too expensive! It's not good for me to have idle time. Karen's (dad's g/f) daughter and three granddaughters are about to come to town, so dad will be with his "other" family for a while. I hate that I don't have things to fill my time. I wanted to go to Creed's but he was doing stuff with his family. I was pissed because I wanted to do something with him, since I usually work on Saturdays, but I know that's not fair. I hate that I can feel my mind sliding.
On the positive side, I was scheduled for 32 hours this upcoming week, and two of my boys are coming to San Antonio!! Phil, the broadcaster from Arkansas, will be here Weds-Sat., then Mike from Springfield will be there Sun-Tues. I'm planning on going down for Wednesday and Sunday's games at least, to be followed by drinking and gossiping and lots of laughs.
I went to an Express game Thursday night. The power (and thus lights) went out in the bottom of the second inning. While waiting for them to come back on (ballpark lights take about 20 minutes to completely come back on), it started to rain and then they suspended the game. Bummer. We'd had big storms all afternoon (3 with hail), so it wasn't a big surprise, but it still kinda sucked. I saw everybody out there, which was good and bad. It was nice to see them, but there was a weird distance that hasn't been there before. I still check the Wichita site everyday to see if they've won or lost (they're 3-13). Sometimes I find myself cheering for them, sometimes against. I found out the new MR intern doesn't do game notes when they're on the road, and sucks about communicating. That cheered me up. God, it sucks to find a job you LOVE and not be able to do it. At the Round Rock game I was critiquing their notes and thinking about what I'd have written instead.
Work is boring as hell and the people annoy me. I worked in Bellmont a few days this week (its in the football stadium and we deal with athletics stuff only) and I was really excited to be back in the athletics department again, but it sucked. The only calls we get are transferred from the phone room when they don't know th answer. I averaged MAYBE one call an hour. I know some people would be perfectly content to sit and surf the internet and get paid, but I actually need something to occupy my mind. I need another job. A full-time job would be good.
Whatever. Hope your life is going smoothly!
