I am not out having dinner with Erin’s parents. At 5:01, after everyone went home, I discovered that not only did the second shift not show up, but Telecom screwed up the phone lines and the calls weren’t going to voicemail. As the manager, I couldn’t just leave so I logged into the loop line and took calls. Gosh I feel bad that I missed dinner with Erin’s parents but I am in Chicago to work and that had to come first. Now I am watching Drew Carey and eating room service chicken caesar salad. Tomorrow I go home. Lisa mentioned that maybe after work on Friday, we could go to Atlantic City or Baltimore for a little mini-getaway. I am all for it. I need to get away.

Do you guys have any friends in Baltimore? Let me know if you decide to come to town!
Yay Baltimore, you can go to the Science Center and see NASCAR 3D! I think it’s still playing there.
Yep, its really bad luck to have to break and engagement like that. I really get down on myself for not forseeing any problems like that. But I do know how you feel, I had to break a big commitment while I was working in HAWAII, it really was a downer to go all that way and miss out on a big dinner party.
