fun night, mostly

except for the end of the game... we took a three run lead in the first inning and they answered with five runs (i walked two, dangit... though the ump was inconsistent and wouldn't call my best pitch a strike even though most umps do, but still, i have to adjust to the umpire)... our bats were kind of numb, but at least we shut them down and it was 8-5 going into the last inning... we rallied and went into the bottom of the last inning ahead 11-8... we got two outs and then, the busted hits for four runs and ouch, we lost... fun game, until the last run crossed the plate... it was not my best performance, but holding this team to 12 runs is a feat, especially when they are hitting well and they were tonight when i did not make perfect pitches... with a different umpire i'd have had three strikeouts instead of three walks and we'd have most likely won, but that's the breaks...

after the game we went out to the wing house and after a while were laughing and having fun again, so it was just a short grumble... the best thing about this league is that there are playoffs and that is when we must get serious... hopefully we will...

work was full of investigations and re-education as i put on my risk manager hat and continued re-training supervisors in the policies and procedures and correct implementation of the behavioral program and so on and so forth... and one more external investigation which makes way too many i've got to keep pushing the bad news in the faces of managers and supervisors so they take their responsibilities to hold all staff accountable for their actions and following policies and programs and consistency and all that...

and you?... how's your life?... hope it's fun and rewarding :)
