Take Me Out to the Ball Game

The baseball game today ended up being a double-header, so that was awesome. At first it was overcast and muggy so we all thought it would end up getting rained out, but it held off and after the first game the sun came out and it got HOT! We got 10 "Crawdad bucks" from our office to get lunch with. The meals only cost $5-$6 soooo we all ended up getting beer too because it was $4! Free baseball + free food + free beer. Just another day at the office, haha. It was a great opportunity to get to know people at work too. I ended up just sitting and talking with all the designers almost the entire time. They're all men in their late 30s with wives and kids and all that but they are cool. I don't know why I can't manage to get more friendly with the girls at work, especially since its almost all women. I'm just shy I guess and these guys are really open and whatever so it's really easy to just have a conversation with them. Also they thought the story about me & my brothers getting in trouble when we were little for trying to rip the tail off Conrad the Crawdad (the mascot) was funny, whereas the women asked if I was the kind of kid who got in a trouble a lot. Oh well.

I am going over in my head whether or not I should be embarassed about one thing though. It was really hot out and when I got up to leave I had a feeling I had a sweat imprint of my butt on my pants, so I went to the bathroom to check and there it was. Is this embarassing? I didn't feel embarassed. Maybe that's what matters. I'm sure people saw but it's pretty obvious it was sweat, and we had to wear nice pants since we had been at work before the game so I was a lot hotter than I would have been if I could have worn shorts. I've always sweat more than usual so I guess I am just used to it now. Oh well. I can't un-sweat, and I also couldn't have just sat there until everyone else left. I feel pretty okay about it. Maybe it's considered gross but whatever.

I don't have work on Friday so I am going to try to get my drivers license changed to NC. It kind of sucks because no matter how old you are, they make you re-take the test to get a new DL or to renew one. So I have to study the stupid little book before I go. I feel like I am 15 again. I will feel like an idiot if I don't pass. At least when I get it I will FINALLY have a horizontal drivers license! No more getting shit for having a vertical one! No more being mistaken for a child?? Well, probs not that. When I walked into the baseball game today it was summer camp day, and a guy tried to hand me my complimentary happy meal. I had to reject it out of pride.
