missed out

well, i didn't make it to the czech festival. i didn't realize i had neither the gas, nor the money, to get there and back. the bourne ultimatum debuted last night as well. but movies nowadays are like $8 or more. again, with no money that i can use towards luxuries such as movies, i had to pass. and after having an extremely crappy week at work and yet another not so great day on the job, i wasn't having much energy to be around people who were happy and smiling while inside i was not. so i did not go to megan's celebration of her arrival back from india.

my friend paul received a call from me explaining i wasn't going to czech days. he was actually glad because he really didn't want to go anyway and was only going just to tag along. he was downtown with some friends whom used to work at gallup. "used to" being the key phrase there. they've moved up in life by getting away from that place. as paul put it, "a career at gallup is like calling macdonald's real food". he said this after ben was telling us how a manager scolded him for having poor performance during his last couple of weeks - poor performance as in 85%. ben was told that he shouldn't think about leaving, people make careers out of gallup. i won't get into those with "careers" at gallup interviewing and their overweightedness, paleness of skin, overall unhealthy appearance, poor posture especially with their backs, etc. that will be another rant at a later time.

played a game of chess at yia yia's. went to o'rourkes. came home between 1:30 and 2. ate some rice. went to bed less than happy, fullfilled, or joyful. wanted to cry but couldn't. awoke this morning. looks like i'll be going to columbus per the amazing workings of god. i'm thinking columbus will be a pretty good time. cheers . . ..
