Baseball and Dugans
Fun day at the job today. It was a slight IROP (irregular operations) day. Good for my breaking in period. It wasn't what would be considered a bad IROP day but definitely not an easy day at the j-o-b. I am pretty tired right now, but glad that it's my Friday and that the work day is going to be over in two hours. Baseball season is coming soon, I am pretty excited about how the Braves are going to do this year. Glavine was not my favorite guy when he left, especially considering the homeruns he gave up in the 2002 post-season against the Giants. He really had a tough NLDS against San Fransico and I think I really lost heart for him. I was so upset by the string of post-season losses that I couldn't love the guy, even though he provided Atlanta with their only world championship by throwing a shut out against the Indians in '95.
All of that is in the past now. I think the fact that the Braves haven't been able to win the division in the past two years has opened me up to the reality that winning isn't a guarentee. Tommy is going to be good for this team, we needed quality starts last year like the desert needs rain. Now we have Tommy, a guy who is always high on the list of pitchers who provided their teams with quality starts. Hopefully it'll be a good year to watch with a good division race between the Phils, Mets, and Braves.
I also have plans this year to go see the Yankees vs Red Sox with my grandfather. I am trying to get tickets for a game at Yankee Stadium. I also want to take him to Fenway and Wrigley, but we'll see how that works out. The tickets are just so hard to get. I've been working a lot lately and it feels great, but my sleep schedule is pretty fucked up. I guess that's what I get for staying up every night after I get off work. I need to find a good compromise between waking up early and going to bed late. I think my goal is to start waking up at 10:30 every day. That gives me some time after work and time before work to do the things I want.
I've been taking care of my Oscar's tank a lot lately. That fish has really gotten huge. I have inquired about a 55gal tank on craigslist recently. It would be awesome to get that tank considering this guy is going to get a lot bigger. Speaking of my animals, Stubby and Fox haven't been getting along. It's pretty upsetting, but thankfully my uncle has said that he would take Fox. That's a relief. I didn't want to have to get rid of Fox because him and Stub couldn't get along. It's stupid too because I know it stems from the fact that Stubby grumbles and growls when he plays. Fox takes that as a threat and he thinks he has to hold his own. I hate it. It's exactly the same reason why I had to get rid of Bucket, even though Bucket's case was a little more serious. Stub doesn't understand that he's being threatening. He's just a big doofus and thinks his grumbling and growling is okay. I wonder if there is still time to teach him that growling at others is bad. It's so difficult and time consuming to teach animals manners. I guess I have to realize that if I want to own multiple dogs that I need to take the time out of my life to teach them to get along.
That's it for now, maybe I'll update again soon.
