Slammin’ Saturday: A’s over the Tigers, 12-3. Now they’re two games ahead in first place. So very SWEET! But is it all for naught? I wish I could say that I don’t think about it, but I do. Too much, I think. Alas…
Melanie’s party was FUN! Was she surprised? Maybe. 😛 I took LOTS of pictures, so I’m off to fiddle with them now!
Fanciful Friday: A’s over the Detroit Tigers, 9-1. The A’s are now in sole possession of first place, Barry Zito has 18 wins, and the A’s have a ten game win streak in which all the A’s starters have all the wins. WOOHOO! Please please please don’t strike! 😐 I want to go to a game on my vacation!
I like where I work. When I say that, I mean where in the office I work, not the general job setting. (I think you’d have to call me insane if I actually said I *like* working at a gaol. [If you’re British, you probably know what that word means. LOL!]). Anyhoo, my current position allows me certain freedoms like not having to worry about the gray shirts demanding work from me. Case in point: One young gun has been taking the whole “lead” gray shirt on shift thing a bit too serious and he’s gotten a couple of blue shirts annoyed with him. Young gun gray shirt has now twice aired his concerns to the stripes on duty, who does a knock out job of widening the divide between the gray shirts and blue shirts. As a fellow blue shirt, I can sympathize with the incidents in question. It’s not right and it’s not being handled right by the stripes. If I were a regular swing shift blue shirt, I would be trying to set the gray shirt straight myself.
As it is, because of where my job duties, I don’t mix much with the gray shirt in question. In fact, when he does talk to me, it’s about baseball! LOL! Which is cool with me. He’s a nice guy, which is why it surprised me when I started hearing the young gun type stories. It reminded me of another gray shirt I miss. 😉 It’s disappointing that this nice guy is jerky to my fellow blue shirts. I hope he realizes that he should take advantage of our knowledge, that he should learn from us instead of copping the attitude of “I’m better than you.” Dude, just because you can carry doesn’t mean that you know more than the whole office.
But like I said, he’s nice to me. Even gave me an updated score on the A’s game. 😉
I’m very glad the week is over. The gray skies and cool breezes were oddly refreshing…
Thumpin’ Thursday: A’s over the Indians, 9-3. Mark Mulder (ye gods, almost said “my” Mark Mulder) pitched his way to win number 15. 😀 And the A’s complete their first ever sweep over the Cleveland Indians.
Today (’cause now it’s Friday!), Barry Zito takes the mound against the Detroit Tigers. Hmm, and he’s on Arli$$ again. The encore showing of “End Game.” Must record it!
Grrrrrr! Now walelia.com isn’t working. Oh, but the email is okay and I can access the domain through FTP. How backwards is that? GADS!
I keep thinking today is Friday. Ye gods!
Mark Mulder pitches today against the Indians. Go Mulder! 😀
I’ve been listening to one of my Harry Connick Jr. CDs in the truck this past week or so. It’s lovely listening to him and singing along to the songs. A lot of the songs are older and ones that I must have listened to non-stop back in the day. 😛 I think I’ll always love Harry…
A’s over the Indians, 6-0. Go Cory Lidle! 😀
We had Taco Tuesday on Wednesday. Hmmm…
Why do I torture myself? I was just at MLB.com’s coverage of the collective bargaining. I was reading the player rep comments. I don’t know if I want to understand more of the whole thing. If they strike, I’ll still cry. Will it help me to know why they’re doing it? I don’t think so…
It was a better day at work today, just as I expected. Weird, eh? I knew that it wasn’t going to be as bad as Monday or Tuesday.
