What A Unique Birthday
Traditionally, I lament my birthday. Fellow friends, family, and coworkers attempt, in many ways, to encourage me to enjoy the day as something special. Usually, though, May 1st is simply packed with everything I'd rather not be doing.
Today, it was still packed with things I'd rather not do:
- Prepare for a concert on Sunday. The concert features participants of whom only 20% are actually accomplished singers and at least 40% are defiantly opposed to appearing to be actual singers. The remaining 40% are exceptionally average performers. As I see the math, there's a 60% chance of pathetic.
-Performing for "Law Day" ceremonies. For those of you unfamiliar with "Law Day..." Well, simply put, it's far from my Patriotic leanings.
-Waiting for service at a family restaurant. We've been really good about "in and out" at Friendly's, but tonight they were fairly incompetent. They were slow enough that I was actually able to convince Susan to leave without getting the free icecream. We arrived at 4:40. We didn't leave until 6PM. That's an eternity with a 3 and 1.5 year old.
On the positive:
-I have an awesome family. Their hugs are gift enough.
-My Elementary kids were exceptionally kind to me today.
-My Family was exceptionally great in coping with the slow service.
and
I have an interview for a potential new job! I got the phone call today. It was a nice present. I'd love to work with these folks... Here's hopin'!
