Take the Affliction Test Today!

that's right, I'm not only a plague, but I'm THE plague. Get away from me or I'll have my fleas attack you!

Anyway Eric and I went to a ballgame last night. It was more fun than I thought it would be. Mostly because it was a pretty short game. The field is cool though, "H-town, home of TWO drop-top arenas!" it was also air conditioned and even though we were pretty high up we had a decent view. None of my co-workers showed up though and that pissed me off. We were given 60 free tickets and I was the only one to use mine. Next time I'll sign up for all the tickets and sell them for $5 out front. They're probably not going to keep giving us free tickets if they're not getting used.... It seemed like the whole upper deck was filled with people who'd gotten their tickets for free. They give away a lot of tickets to non-profit agencies. We ended up giving a stranger, her husband and grandson a ride back to the houston aids foundation where she'd left her car. she was hispanic so was the kid but the husband was black, very tall, had those long texan legs, and he was dressed like a cowboy. pretty interesting. after dropping them off Eric commented on how nice I am, and that it's cool how much I enjoy helping people. I don't hear things like that enough. I don't work for free in order to have people always thanking me or thinking "holy shit, you do this for free??" and Im not going to advertise that fact, or beg for compliments/respect... it's just nice to get a thank you every once in a while.

Always remember to quit while you're ahead.
