Looooong Day

Yesterday was long.

Not only did we have to go to work and get all of our tasks done, but we had to travel to another location, wear stupid ugly polyester jerseys and be friendly and out going and welcoming.

To me...that is exhausting.

It was also fun though and it really does reaffirm to me that I am working for a great cause and working at a great place with mostly great people.

The jerseys though? Ugh...I hope they don't make a repeat next year. The did nothing for me. I don't know how they expected me to catch a Boston Athlete in that get -up. Sigh, oh well, maybe next year.

The event honors all the sports teams in the area, so the Athlete spotting was the best part of the night, although it was a little lacking this year as opposed to last year when I got to take my picture with the Worlds Series trophies. Now that? That was amazing.

This year was still interesting, but instead of trying to spot Matt Cassel, (who was being honored) or Patrice Bergerone, I was on the look out for D. I didn't want to be caught unaware. I needed to look perky, friendly, busy and important all at the same time. I even considered stealing an ear piece that the events team was running around with, but refrained.

Unfortunately for me he strolled in at a later time when the business was dying down. He checked in at the line next to mine, (they were alphabetical), but he didn't see me so I called him name softly so as not to be auspicious, but to get his attention.

He hear and turned to see who it was calling him, and I can't help but to say his face almost lit up a little? I hesitate to say this, because I never think anyone is happy to see me, but it seemed like it, a little, but you know the lights were pretty bright. I don't remember what we said. I just said Hi and that it was nice to see him, but he was with colleagues, but he was sweet.

The girl I was partnered with asked me who he was. I was hesitant at first after this incident, but told her he was friend of mine that was a Dr. at the Hospital, but we had known each other since before I started working there. She was amazed he was a Doctor because she thought he looked young and that at first she thought he was one of the athletes.

I groaned inwardly. Like he needed that ego boost!

At the end I was seated at the checkout, but it wasn't busy. I saw him coming and he gave me a low hip level wave and I winked back and smiled. I thought that would be it, but he came over and jokingly asked where the men's room was so I pointed him in the direction of the ladies and teased him for not winning any auctions items.

So he did not ignore me. It was like we were actually friends. Go fig!

The night was long and I got home late and now I'm at work drooping. I finished all my work early, because I'm just that good and now I'm wishing I could go home and dreaming of what I can make for dinner. I'm thinking comfort food, but I'm at a loss for what to make.

All I know is I want my comfy clothes now because hibernating season is in full affect!

Oh Man....

It's December....

Why don't we just forget about November and my lack of attention to my little bloggie area shall we?

November was fun, frustrating and boring all at the same time. I was looking forward to a business trip to Charleston, SC that left me quite disappointed. The chance to travel was fun, it was just my travel companions that were lacking. I had high hopes, but the situation didn't allow for such hopes to be realized. That was in the middle of the month.

I made it through the Holiday weekend mostly unscathed. We'll call Saturday a "lost day". After hanging my head over the toilet for a while, my mom asked me what I had consumed and I said. "not much" but as I started the list, it kept going and ended with, "Oh yah...and there was that shot." Ugh...

I went out with people from home; people from high school. It made me want to get back to Boston, to live MY life. It was surreal being there, and most of my friends aren't exactly that nice. I think I was drinking to be comfortable. I vaguely remember talking to a girl i played sports with in high school and her looking at me confusedly, most likely because I wasn't making much sense.

The monster hangover did give me a GREAT excuse to get McD's!

So yah... It's December. I love December! I love Christmas season! Yay!

Nothing else really has happened. D has actually made the trek to my place. It was strange and I was a little thrown off by his wanting to go there, but nothing else has changed in that department.

I'm working at an event for my job tomorrow night and he will be a guest. Lovely eh? I'm the hired help and he will be in attendance at $1500 a head. Sigh... So embarrassing. I asked him flat out if he was going to ignore me. He said no, but we will see.

I still have a lot of free time at work, so I'm going to try to be more frequent in my posting. Haha, yes I know I've said that before, but I REALLY want to. I'll just write about stupid mundane stuff that no one except me really cares about. That's what a journal is all about right?

So until next time! Which will be soon!
