Saturday & Saturnight (continued), and Sunday
Saturday wound up being a ridiculous day at Friendly's, busiest I've ever worked there. Wound up being late due to traffic heading into the mall and worked from 4:20-midnight straight through at a fever pace until we closed at 10. It was silly-busy, constant lines at the registers, always tickets up and a ten-twenty minute wait at the door. Karoliny quit/got fired (I'm really going to miss her) so we didn't have a greeter, meaning Pat and Xavier had to platoon in that arena, Xavier taking over full-time after Pat had to leave at 8. That left just Jessica and myself on the fountain itself. Had Dan not been there to help out we would have had people walking away in droves. As it went though, we worked quickly and efficiently and made it through. After we closed and were cleaning up Ed took Nicko and I outside and thanked us for keeping our cool, working well and getting through the night (give me a raise!). According to him he also mentioned the same to Dan Carver (the District Manager) which is cool. I definitely feel important and respected at this job, but damn it sucks at paying the bills.
After leaving work, clocking out at 12:00 am, I went on back to my place, showered, changed and called Alicia and Jeff (who had called me earlier while I was at work and unable to talk). Jeff was under the weather and settling down with Ellie for the night so just Alicia came on up. Once she got here we headed on over to Kate's place where her and Alicia got to chill for the first time in a long time and had a great talk. From there Kate headed to bed (it was nearing 3 am at that point) and Alicia and I continued on to Lindsay Bernard's party. The party was a great time, Kyle, Lindsay, Laura, Meghan, Roger, TJ, Mandy and a host of others were all there. Cops came at one point for the noise, we toasted the arrival of autumn, I got a tour of the house with Laura (the place is huge!) and smoked a bowl with Lindsay and Alicia. As dawn was breaking we left and I brought Alicia back to my house where her car was. Her and I hung out with Kyle briefly watching some movie and then the three of us parted ways: Kyle staying at the house, Alicia going back to her place and I going back to Framingham to Kate's place.

Sunday I will try to describe briefly. Got great news that Chris got tickets to a Browns-Pats game that he needed me to help attend. Took a wicked lazy day off (all I really did all day was clean Kate's room and watch TV). Tori and her parents came by and attempted to hook up the wireless, but somethings fucked up about it and it isn't working properly yet. Kate stopped by briefly but then headed out again to hang out with Lisa one final time and then watch a movie with her mom. As the evening came I borrowed a couple beers from Tori and began watching the Sox and Pats games and waited for everyone else to get back to the area so we could all congregate and chill out whilst watching the games. Sheree was the first back, but I didn't have a car to pick her up so she sat around and listened to the Pats on WBCN and I flipped between games, giving text updates to Steve-O who was stuck at work. Sheree and I agreed not to get stressed because a solution would present itself and soon enough it did, with Miss Amanda McDermott showing up at Kate's place. Together we went and picked up Sheree and heading back to Irving Street to go to Connery's. During this whole exchange I had been in touch with Jeff and Alicia on the phone. Alicia was going to stay in with the baby, but Jeff and his friend Adam were itching to come out and chill as well. So sure enough as soon as we were in Connery's and ordered our drinks Jeff and Adam walked thrugh the door.
The games were a split. On the plus side, the Patriots tore apart and dismantled the Chargers making poor LaDanian Tomlinson cry. On the other hand Schilling gave up a three-run shot to Jeter in a one-one game in the eighth that the Sox couldn't come back from, dying in the ninth with the bases juiced for Big Papi and plating two runs of there own.
We all went back to Steve and Amanda's afterwards and chilled out and played Uno. Stayed until Sheree was passing out and then we left to go back to the Common House, stopping off at the 24-hour McDonalds on the way back. Finally, capped off the night by driving back to Framingham to Kate's place and climbing into bed.
