Cub's Game Busy

The Rooster, Mick and I have a running joke. Last Summer I blew them off for lunch on a Thursday because I was really busy at work. Then the same day, I proceeded to blow off a half day of work to go catch the Cubbies when someone invited me last minute. Come on, it was a sunny day and it was the Cubs at Wrigley. Now, whenever I say I am busy at work, they say are you really busy or just Cubs Game Busy.

You Know You Work for a Great Company When...

You come into work and there is a bottle of tequila sitting on your desk. Anyone got a lime and some salt? Yum!

Random Musings

Okay enough with Harry Potter and the Giant Penis; it's about time for a new post. I am going to go with some random thoughts and semi-humorous fodder from the land o' Carrotpenis...

• I am going to say it right now. The Cubs are going to once again fuck a good thing up. They have great talent; have put up impressive numbers but the train is clearly coming off the tracks. I just don't think they have what it takes to finish the deal. Hopefully, they will find someone to scapegoat like Steve Bartman the last time. For the love of Christ, I hope that I am wrong.
• I can clearly see that I am not going to be very good at the whole dating thing. I am already dreading the whole courting process of faking interest in someone to see if there's any slim possibility that there really is something between you or perhaps she's easy and will let you sleep with her. Okay, perhaps I'd be willing to put some work into that.
• Yes folks, I am once again "Molding America's Youth". I am foolishly coaching not one but two of The Boy's soccer teams. What am I thinking? I figure I am spending an easy 15-20 hours a week just devoted to soccer. As luck would have it though, I conveniently now have some free time worked into my schedule.
• Work is crazed as well. I can't figure out whether I am coming or going. I want to smack the hell out of the people who invented SAP. They are the bane of my existence right now. I want to pay my bills, honest I do. The SAP (DEVIL) won't let me do it. I am hoping that ComEd will just shut off the lights because we haven't paid them and then I can just go home.
• I just saw the previews for It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia which starts up again on FX this Thursday. If you haven't caught this train wreck, I highly advise that you check it out; over the top funny.
• A buddy of mine from college, Mike Weinreb, is up for a book award through MSNBC and The Quills for his book, The Kings of New York, as "Book of the Year". Log in and vote for him if you have a second, http://www.quillsvote.com/.
• Jersey Girl now has a blog all her own. She did somehow forget to send me the link though. Perhaps she's embarrassed to be affiliated with such drivel. Luckily, Cowboy was nice enought to send it along. Well if you have a chance check it out.....http://paintchick.blogspot.com/. If I didn't mention it before, she has a bit of paint fetish.
• I was mocked by a co-worker for saying there it was okay to tailgate at Ravinia. Come on people, who says you can't have a tailgate in the parking lot before you hit the orchestra seats? Cowboy, New Party Girl and I hit there a couple of weeks ago to catch Hootie and the Blowfish. We rode the vendor gravy train and listened to some pretty good tunes on the lawn. The weather could have been a bit better though. Classic moment of the evening was a a toss up between cute gopher girl dropping her Panera in the parking lot at the train station (I bet her boss was pissed) and then being helped by inebriated guy much to the chagrin of inebriated guy's wife. And very drunk dorky guy on bus home being mocked by hot girls in short skirts and no underwear. I will give kudos to guy for pulling together his group of hot girls but I am guessing they think he's gay.
• I went to my 20th high school reunion two weeks ago. Had a blast but was bamboozled into driving home a drunk friend by two other friends who ditched us at a bar at 2am. I am plotting my revenge right now. I will delve into further details of the reunion in a separate post.
• Looking for a bachelor/single dad pad in the Grayslake area. If anyone know of a great place, please pass it along. I am looking for close proximity to train station, downtown area, and single hot moms. Fat Bastard, perhaps I can sublet that inlaw apartment you call a fish tank in your basement.

Alright, the freaks on the Metra are calling and it's time to pack up my shit and get the hell out of here before I kill someone. Bon Voyage.
