That Agency Employee Party

Posted on December 21, 2008

Bill went all out this year and rented a boat for us to cruise down the intercoastal on our way to dinner. He even dressed up as Santa Clause, it was pretty cool. The photo you see here was taken with my iPhone on the trip to Sailfish. Drinks, etc, dinner was excellent and the ride was really cool.

On the way back though things got a little rocky. Our captain actually hit a pilon/pole which should have been lit but for some reason it wasn’t. That was interesting to say the least. Drinks flying everywhere, little Nicole got kind of banged up while on the bow but overall we made it unscathed. Lucky I guess.

From there it was off to the bars for a few more, like we needed them. After that it’s all kind of a blur. I did make it home on time so I’m not sure what happened to everyone else. Bill sent me a text saying everyone was at Bradley’s where they got kicked out so I have no idea what happened.

Thanks to Bill, this year’s holiday shin-dig was a blast.

Wow, That Was Ballsy

After our 610 Clematis Holiday party last night Eli and I decided to head down to City Place for a drink. Hey, it was still early and for the most part we were the only ones at the holiday thing under 40 so we took off around 8.

First we went to Taverna Opa so he could ogle the bartender. Sat there for a couple beers and then walked over to Blue Martini for a change of scenery.

After our first beer a couple of girls came up and sat down at our table. Not ugly by any means but not 10′s either. We entertained them for a minute or two then they asked us if we’d join them for dinner at Ruth’s Chris. I said I wouldn’t mind getting a quick bite but doubtfully a full dinner. The conversaton kept going and Eli were closing out our tabs when I asked the seemingly obvious question:

So, do you expect me to pay for your dinner?

The answer was “…of course, isn’t that how it works?”

….No, it’s not how it works. You don’t sit down and invite someone to dinner and expect them to pay just because he’s a guy. Basically I asked her if she was “fucking serious?”, are you kidding me?! I told her no way, you’re out of your mind if you think I’m buy YOU dinner, especially if you just sat down out of the blue and expected some stranger to pay your way.

Things like this are what’s making me really despise the women here in West Palm Beach. Geez, the nerve of this chick!

Slowly But Surely It’s Coming Back

I forgot how much of a chore it is to grow your hair back out once you’ve shaved it all off. It’s been about three weeks and I’m finally to a point where I really needed a trim but you know the old joke, “looks like he cut his hair by himself blindfolded” or something like that. I’m really trying to make it not so obvious.

A few more weeks and I’ll be back to visiting the man-spa, it’s just a matter of time. Until then I’ll look…let’s just a… a little off.

That Was Aweful

Probably one of the worst birthdays to date. I guess it just started off all wrong. I just played it by ear and went down to Rocco’s by myself while I waited for friends to get ready. There I had a few drinks at the bar before someone came over and told me Trish was there. As soon as I heard that I split and headed back home. Met up with Eli and Chad and hit a few more bars. I couldn’t shake the feeling of Trish being around so I really didn’t enjoy myself and just tried to drink away that emotion. Not a great idea.

I’m not sure why it bothered me. Whether it was that she forgot my birthday, or that she was happy on my birthday and for the most part I was miserable. Regardless it left me with that empty meaningless feeling all night. The only plus for the entire day were the birthday wishes on my Facebook page from friends all over the world. I just wish I could have celebrated with them instead of spending one more miserable night out in West Palm.

I know it all sounds miserable and selfish but at the moment that’s pretty much how I feel. I hate being single, I’ve come to that conclusion. The holiday’s make it that much worse.

Yeah… It’s My Birthday
