Hard to try and decide on a title for today's post.
Partly because of multiple feelings I am having about the day, and more.
First off, I had to work another Saturday, a Saturday in June.
I really hate working weekends this time of year. Or any really.
I figure I've gotten old enough that I should only have to work a M-F day job, and this job I have, requires I work not only weekends, but multiple shifts. It really sucks ass.
My schedule has changed nearly every week for the past few months. All I can say is I am so fucking glad that school ended a month ago, as it really went to hell after that and I could not imagine having to be dealing with school as well. Right now I work a mixed shift of days and some fucked up 10:30a-7p 'afternoon/evening' shift - until further notice. This odd ball shift started last week Thurs(it was 2:30-11 for several weeks, and before that, 12:30-9 beginning back in February - with mixed weekdays - depending on availability and until we hired a third IT person to cover the 11-7 night shift), and luckily, I have more day shifts (albeit two of them are Sat & Sun) than the odd shift. And, for my sanity's sake, this week I start another new schedule - days of the week wise - where I will now have two days off in a row - Thurs & Fri. So it will almost seem like I have a weekend - near the weekend. It is also the same days off as a few of my friends, one especially, which will make it very nice should we actually (he really) be able to make some time for us to get together for a few activities we've mentioned going to/doing, but I digress.
...beach, photos, thinking, sunset, moon, people, families, friends, lovers...loneliness, happiness, fear (car-bump-kid)
too many pics - must make an album... in my spare time...yasureright.
On that note, this evening I received a text from him, begging off for a bit, so he can try to sort himself more (again) - which is totally understandable, but I knew it was coming. A similar few texts/calls went on yesterday when we were to catch a WC game together in the afternoon - resulting in it not happening, and a later call to follow - that never came. Not until today's text.
So, after being bored all day at work, working on the same day as Grandma's Marathon - having to take a bus vs driving as our office/parking garage was totally blocked off due to the marathon route, and not wanting to search for parking - also whilst having to leave much earlier as my regular bus doesn't run early enough to make it to work on time, forcing me to seek out an alternate bus (the 13) and walk to the nearest stop.
The shift was boring as Fuck, as per usual, so I decided to leave at 3:00p and catch the #10(h) as my regular bus wouldn't be around for another 30 min and I just couldn't wait it out. I wanted to be outside, even if I had to walk a mile or so home, at least I was not sitting in the office, and could have a long much needed walk of about 1.5 miles.
After returning home, I had to finish watching a movie I rented 2 days ago that was due tonight, so I brought the Mac out on the deck to do so in the late afternoon sun and began, only to be chased inside by loud neighbours as I couldn't hear the dialogue. Once inside, I noticed the Twins-Phillies game I had left for a time, was at a 9-9 tie, which was very exciting as when I had gone outside it was 8-3 P in the 3rd inning. Naturally, I had to pause my movie and watch a bit.
Things escalated rather quickly and I was glued as the score went 10-10, in the 10th, then in the 11th we (the Twins) scored 3 and Pittsburg 0, resulting in a win for us! YAY!
