I got off duty at midnight tonight, and with some reservations came home and changed - then headed out to the bar. Another one of my old coworkers is leaving the old office, and tonight was her send-off. I was tired, and I am on call ...and was tempted just to stay home...but I went. The minute I walked in the door I was ensconced in the soft womanly curves of three of my friends from that office. They pulled me to the dance floor before I even had a chance really to say hello, and sandwiched me snuggly for a few dances. The enjoyment in being welcomed so..well, warmly, made me glad I had come out. I guess it shouldn't, but it still does surprise me that I actually am missed ...and that they really were glad to see me. Not just for my awesome dancing skills either ; )
Mostly I hung out with my old work partner's husband and checked out the youngsters...and ducked the drama that was a sidelight of the evening. And now..ears ringing... I am going to go crawl into bed with my lovely wife who I have hardly seen this week, with working the night shift. One more and then I'm done with that and back on days next week.
friends,
work,
weekends
