Life Evens Out

Now, I'm not going to get into all the details, but the last two or three days have fucking sucked. My little post a couple of days ago about blowing a gasket at one of the contractors got blown all out of proportion, and while I was trying to explain to my boss and even our client what happened (thankfully, they agreed that it wasn't that big a fucking deal) I was still having to deal with a couple of time-sensitive disasters that needed to be fixed by the end of this week. In fact, that's why I sit here at 6:30am waiting for the workers to show up so that we can get some shit straight before the weekend...

I was in an awful mood yesterday, and while I'm moody at the best of times, this was exceptional. I just didn't give a shit. And frankly, I hadn't in a few days. Everything I was doing was just to avoid getting buried deeper under the giant pile of shit that I felt I was living beneath. Believe it or not, I actually take pride in my job, and I was just getting shit on from every direction, and for reasons that were somewhat beyond my control. I had pretty much given up after the meeting with my boss and our client's project manager, which felt more like going to the principal's office than I'd like to admit. I guess, while I have a pretty quick temper, I also have more than enough self-control, so I rarely show it, and thus don't often have to deal with the fallout from it.

Anyway, there I was... walking back to my office, ready to spend the afternoon wishing time could move faster, when I got the call. Turns out the buddy I used to work with that has hooked me up with Bills-Dolphins tickets the last couple of years (I spaced on it this year until August, which was too late) has to go to Taiwan for work, and is leaving next week. The Dolphins are in Buffalo on December 17th. He'll be away, and guess who he called to take his season's tickets seats? Yup! ME!!

I was willing to take the first couple of days of shit to make up for a great weekend, but it was getting ridiculous.

When in doubt, always know... when life seems like it's fucking you in the ass without so much as a pillow or leather strap to bite on, something great is juuuuust around the corner! :)
