New Job: day 4

Charles isn't here today. Maybe I'll use this opportunity to clean my monitor.

I had an awkward moment yesterday when someone used the word "Mechanicsburg" in a conversation that I was not a part of. I, of course, uncontrollably said "huh!?". They paused their conversation and looked at me, but I solved by problem by never looking away from computer screen, which was smudged with fingerprints. I still got it...

These guys like to play darts (well isn't that a lightning rod).
n : a game in which darts are thrown at a dartboard

It's pretty interesting, they have various types of games that...hey look the grass is growing.

My personal space senses (or my Spidy-Senses as I like to call them) are now set to defcon 1. Charles did the Gettle Chair Hump yesterday. Instead of saying anything, I just bit my lip until it bled. God I'm good. I'm just waiting for him to compulsively jingle six dollars of pocket change.

My son has his last (I'm hoping) Little League All-Star game tonight. Maybe it will be as interesting as the Tuesday night game. After the game had ended (I think that we won), the police were called in to break up a fight between the Shippensburg coaching staff and the umpires.

Friday is "Dress Down Day". I'm so excited that I think I'll play a game of darts.

  6. The police? The Shippensburg coaches left shortly after the police arrived. The umpires didn't really care that the coaches were upset. I guess they think that they are unbreakable because they have all that gear on.

  9. True Story...

    I had a dream last night that I was an unwitting passenger on a speedboat driven by sparrowlegs. Sparrowlegs proceeded to jump the boat out of the water and drive it across grass and concrete at top speed (because you can do that stuff in dreams).

    During this high-speed ride over surfaces that boats shouldn't use, I was forced to hang on for dear life to a flimsy, crome-colored peice of plastic railing.

    My emotional scarring is pretty deep, huh?

  11. I'm sorry about the boat incident. Will you drop it!? I'm not going to apologize any more. I thought I could make it to the next crest, but Jimbo's boat didn't have enough power. And that's that.
