I'm only half here right now,  the other half is wherever I am.   It's Thursday, the Cubs have a 1:20 pm start time against Maddux (Go Dumpster) and I am just 2 1/2 working days away from a 10 day vacation.   Go ahead and ask me something!   The answer's just going to be what drinks I'm considering consuming and what crazy ideas I'm contemplating with all that free time.  Sspeak up fast,  by 1:00pm I'll be in route to the bar and you won't be able to get ahold of me until sometime...  or someday.

Oh...  and look who else may play:

Sounds like a damn good excuse to be drunk by quitting time to me...   God I love being in management!    Don't get me wrong, I haven't missed a full day of work since the last 10 day vacation, which oddly enough occurred right around the same time, the week before Memorial Day,  and to the same wonderful roller coaster heaven, with the same group of friends.   Cedar Point be prepared, because those boys from Iowa are heading your way again!

Where was I now?    I'm telling ya'...  my heads in the clouds and going nowhere in a hurry.    A man shouldn't have to work this close to such joy,  it makes people crazy.   In fact, the only reason I have an extra 1/2 day of work is because I'm so damn compassionate and understanding!   One of my employees that usually works on Saturday is going to Wrigley to watch them beat the Pirates, so I guess I'll fill in for him (but only because he has a good excuse).   I told him to booze it up that day, because he sure as hell isn't missing Monday.  In fact,  if he were to die between now and May 27th,   I'd have his dead carcass wheeled into the office to take care of any and all business for the days that I'm gone.  

That would make the perfect candidate for a complaint department!   That's a great idea!!   DAMN I'm good!!!  Just for that, I'm going on break.
