I'm about to take a tryptophan induced nap, after my 3rd Thanksgiving meal of the day. It's not even dinner time yet. It's been football, food, repeat all day long. Before I nap and eat again, I thought I'd write about my first (wish it was my third) date with 'southern and cultured' (aka 'Ears') on Tuesday.
Captain's log:
5:30 - Gather my belongings at work to go home an unwind before my date.
5:31 - Hi-jacked by Mihir, my lead developer, to talk about an issue with my product.
6:30 - Stressed and cursing, I finally leave work to wait for the bus.
6:45 - On a packed and smelly bus, getting a pep talk from Jason as he looses $4000 while playing poker.
7:15 - Stressed, cursing and pacing, I get a 2nd pep talk from Lorri telling me to just have fun and enjoy myself.
8:00 - Still cursing, I make it to the pub and get a 3rd pep talk from Dean, Elaine, Cynthia, Patrick and Erich.
8:03 - Dean offered to lick my face and say "I'll be seeing you later baby" during my date.
8:05 - Witless and semi-boring banter with Ears. He parroted practically everything I said. I finally went into 'I'm just going to talk to entertain myself' mode.
8:10 - Drive-by checkup by the newly shorn Cynthia.
8:20 - Drinking.
8:25 - Drinking.
8:30 - Drinking.
8:35 - Drive-by from Dean; thankfully no licking.
8:40 - Drive-by from Nora, thank God!
8:45 - Ears tells me how he met this chick online and took her out 3 times, but felt he had to 'nip it in the bud' because sparks weren't flying.
8:50 - Ears nips it in the bud with me and says 'Happy Thanksgiving'.
8:55 - Mocked by Cynthia, Erich, Patrick, Nora, Dean and Randy; and Jason via text.
9:15 - Watched and enjoyed a repeat of 'Law and Order' and finished off dumplings, while waiting for the next 'Law and Order' (it suddenly dawns on me why I'm single).
