Poker Tournament

A public interest group I'm a member of put on a charity poker tournament tonight. It went exceptionally well for our first time ever putting one on. We raised a few thousand dollars and everyone had a great time. A word of advice for anyone thinking of putting such an event: stash YOUR beers, the beers you had set aside for the end of the evening when the event is all over an done with, in a safe safe location. Because nothing will make you want to punch a guy in the face more than slaving away schlepping beers for several hours and having said drunk asshat find your two beers and say "hey, I paid for them" as he swipes them. In fact, I can't say that there's anything that will make you want to punch a guy in the face more. And not punching him in the face is the highest and best form of restraint that exists, anywhere. Instead, I'm going to hangout with him again...and swipe his g-d beers when I can. Or punch him in his stupid stupid face. Either way.

Got a Job

I got lucky last week. I interviewed with the EPA a couple of weeks ago and they offered me an intern position for the summer. I'm wicked psyched. The they only take 10-11 interns a summer for their program and most of them aren't extended offered until after the first of the year. I was lucky enough to get one of the early offers. So I got that going for me. One less thing worry about now, as well. Hurray!

nothing to sort

So, B left for two weeks today. Now, my next few weeks are going to be rough, work wise. And I've made more cracks about "getting more work done" while she's out in the last week than ever before. Truth be told, though, she keeps me balanced and in line...and the next two weeks are gonna be rough. I talk a good game but we've settled into a good rhythm and it's hard not to have her here...even when I'm bogged with work....perhaps especially so. Just don't expect much, that's all I'm saying...
