The Stupid Things I Do to Increase My Chances

Working second shift is a drag. It's a drag because it is a lot more demanding time-wise than first shift, especially if you do your business/relaxing in the day and go to work at the end of the day like I do. Consequently it plays hell with evening social activities.

Last night was a prime example. I had not planned on going to the Wednesday night Geocachers get together at No Frills grill, but Monica, the girl I met last Friday, wanted me to come. She's coming to my house on Friday to take in the new Futuramas, so I guess it's a kind of date. Wanting (or hoping) to increase my chances of fostering the relationship, I elected to take off work, go to the get together, then stay ultra late to make up the time.

I had fun, but now I'm behind at work. Tonight is the last night of the week, and it'll be a long one. I hope it was worth it.
