it's a fag cop

whatever monty python might have meant by that, if it was even translated into us english properly, this entry is most likely not about it, but the irreverent meaninglessness of introductory asides that the python utikized as a comedic flimflam, well, that may be gainfully employed in this entry... i too, am gainfully employed, however i am still hardly working at/all today, so it's back to hardly working at'all i go...

leaving softball behind, that is... the last game of the season with this frustrating thursday night team... every week there have been no-shows that cost us and those who do show are often not really into trying to win... giving up running to first, giving up on catchable balls, and an infield that only sometimes fields balls cleaning when they are hit at a moderate pace straight at them... never mind the frequent throwing errors everywhere... or baserunning errors, often... or power hitters consistently making long fly outs, at least ten for every home run they hit... and, well, we lost again... run ruled... the other team hit, we fumbled and bumbled and folded... in the rain...

did i mention that once again there was an out right after my spot in the batting order because the gy in that spot did not show and the coach did not change the lineup?... so my two hits that scored two runs were the end of the two innings in which i batter and the top of the order lead off the next inning instead of bringing a rally around to the top of the order... 2 for 2 with 2 rbis feels good, but not so good is losing big because people do not show and coaching mistakes and errors on catchable balls and short throwing errors and wild outfield throws and power hitters flying out almost every time and so on and so forth and scooby dooby doo, where are you?...

so now i am headed to walmart cuz it's the only place open that sells really cheap dress clothes cuz the weather presented yet another snafu in a day that seems to be built on snafus (or is that snafii?) and i am wet and muddy (dear car rental company... please don't charge the writer of this blog an add-on cleaning fee... after all, i am renting the vehicle for another week because i was too busy this week to fix the old chevy and procrastination helped a little... better luck next week, wallet) and on my way back to work for the third thankgiving party of the day... hey, night shift deserves a party too...

and three of my managers did it up great... really above and beyond... must be rewarded...

it was not utopia, but it was a good thing we did...

hope the night goes as well...
