"It's a good problem to have"
On Friday, it was Ray's farewell even though he wasn't retiring until Thursday. As expected, he gave some not-so-PG and not-so-R-rated stories of his time here. I thought it was a real shame that 27 years of knowledge and experience was walking out the door. He mentioned people, mainly his peers. I wondered if he'd mention me, but didn't think he would given how he had so many other important people to mention. But when he joked about coming in late, he was like "I might come in late, but who closes up? And don't say [insert name here]!"
Haha, so he did mention me!
After work I met up with Thai, Malay and Brain for dinner.
On Saturday I went to library guy's house warming slash baby shower slash birthday.
Yesterday we played J Turkey, who despite their appearance, is a pretty good team. A rarity for us was we had a full team - 11 players. How do you manage 11 players? Well, it was easy to strike Mike out because he had played a game for someone else right before ours, so that was his punishment.
I tried my best to balance it, to the cost of Bert and Alex Z, who were the more 'tolerant' players. Nick and Richard got the most court time. Even I only played four minutes in the second half because I gave my PT to Bert. Yet despite all that, when I put Bo on for Nick in the last 40 seconds, Nick still got the shits, as he yelled out "we have too many fucking players on this team".
I know you can't please everybody, but how can someone not see that taking the last 40 seconds off is insignificant?
Afterwards Mike ignored me. I went to eat with Jim and vented to him. I am getting the shits myself with people gettiing shitty. They can complain, but no one wants to put their hand up to do the job.
Now I have to think of a way to manage this.
This morning as I was walking to the bathroom, I was loading up Ani Pang, and thought it'd be funny if I received a message from Erica. Despite our last chat being on Thursday, it felt like a message was due now.
And there was - even if it was only one sent by her through a game she plays.
