Where did my weekend go?
Well, my first weekend of my new shift has come and gone. It seemed to go by so quickly. Although considering I had 3 day weekends for nearly 3 months might explain that. I think I would have enjoyed it more if it hadn't rained so darn much!
I joined the softball team at my work last week, thanks to my new shift, and wanted to get some practice swings in at the local batting cages. I dragged my g/f down there with me, got there, and it started to rain. So we were getting ready to leave and the rain stopped. YAY! time to get some practice. I get over to the batting cages, and this family, consisting of about 10 people, had monopolized the cages. They were wearing all the helmets, had all the bats and were lined up outside 1 cage (there are 6 separate cages, each with varying speeds). Unfortunately, they were rather unwilling to share one helmet and bat amongst themselves and allow other patrons the use of the remaining helmets and bats. Rather rude and ignorant if you ask me.
Anyway, by the time they were finished it had started to rain heavily and they had to close down the batting cages. :( So I was a little ticked off. I didn't make a scene, although I would have liked to give them a piece of my mind. I don't think it would have bothered me as much if they had been good at it. But out of the 20 pitches you get for dollar, they hit maybe one each round. Two would be generous. Oh well, not a hell of a lot you can do about it I suppose. It's up to the people running the cages to take care of that, not me.
Anyway, I did manage to get some shopping in and got my b-day cash spent. I got some new clothes, a new belt + buckle (g/f isn't as fond of the buckle as I am but oh well), some new DVD's to add to my ever growing collection (I have over 300 titles now), and a few other things. Anyway, it was a good b-day this year and I have nothing to complain about in that regard. I got a decent haul on the b-day loot, many b-day wishes from friends and family, my g/f took me out to dinner and what not. All in all, a good b-day.
Well, that's enough rambling from me for today. I have a ball game tonight and hopefully the lack of practice won't hurt me or the team too much. I am rusty and I'm a little nervous, although I'm sure it'll be okay in the end. That's all for now, 'till next time :)
