Finally, finally onto the softball field

A month and half into the season, yeah, but thanks to rainouts, only three games in.  The Sultans of Dot split a doubleheader Monday night, moving to 3-2 on the year. Playing security-guarded neighbor SAIC in both games, we won the first in the 9th — our first extra-inning game in five years of play — and got killed in the second. I was happy about the wins but happier we still had a field, given we supposedly sold the land two years ago. Went 1-2 in the first game and 0-1 in the second, platooning, but made good contact after figuring out a new swing at the batting cages. Misplayed one ball in the field, played another well. Hoped the games would help sleep — not so much. Bring on furlough.

    Do you have furloughs? I have 11 I need to use before the end of the year on top of my remaining 7 vacation days and 4 floating holidays. I am way too young to have this much time off ;)

    We do have furloughs! We have to take ours a week at a time. So, took one in the 1st Quarter and then will take my 2nd Quarter one next week. (Current plan: Sit on roof, read, drink, not think about work.) Have hardly used any vacation here this year either!

Thoughts?
