Life Kicks Ass!

Thursday, July 31st, 2003

Peeps! My great, friendly peeps! You guys rock.. and so does life. The Wednesday that was supposed to suck was perfect. My golf game sucked, don’t get me wrong. But I played well enough to NOT look like a total ass. My boss, Rick Lorrack, I’ve figured out, is a great conversationalist. The weather was more perfect than I deserved on my first course outing. I am now fully hooked on golf, my job, and everything else that goes along with it.
On the back nine, my golf partner, Jeanie, who represents CA, was a pleasure to golf with. She asked me how Rick was as a boss. I told her I’ve never worked for a better boss, and I believed myself. I work long hours, yes.. and I may be over-passionate about my job but the bottom line is I love everything about it. Rick is approachable, laid-back, and responsive to whatever concerns I bring to his attention. And folks, at the end of the day, that’s what counts.
The show was packed last night, and Dave, the web guru, let me in on an insight about Kent, where I performed, that got the audience on my side and laughing right from the start. They were rooting for me during my too-brief 5 minute set. The show lasted til about 11:45, but I didn’t get out of Kent until an hour later, and got lost. I made it home by 2 but I was so friggin’ tired - the good tired of getting through and finishing what you started. Someone asked me how my comedy’s going today.. and I was happy to say “Not too shabby.”
I fell asleep eating my cereal again, but the day was rather productive. I’ve isolated the reporting issue to a point that has me truly believing that my SQL skills are like my golf game.. I’m good enough to not make an ass of myself.
My friend BC and I had a good talk today, and we got through a couple of issues, which was good. I feel like such a lousy friend of late. It’s hard to not be there for your friends when they need you, in the same way it’s hard not being there for my family when they need me.
I never consider my needs of other people, because I’m almost independent to a fault. I apologize in advance to the woman that falls in love with me.
Speaking of women, Angela’s moving out today. She’s moving in with Gianni, and I was shocked at how it affected me. She never mentioned it, so maybe it’s not a big deal. Whatever. I wish her luck with the situation, as it’s one I’ve been through. It’s a great experience IMHO. I told her so today.
I’m going to another open mic tonight, and I’ll let you all know how it goes. With that in mind, good night.. I’ll see you soon.
