Back To Fabulous Fridays

Work was very slow, except that Erin finally decided to go home sick around 2:30, and a couple things that HAD TO BE DONE RIGHT NOW came in, so I wasn't able to take my break. I'm usually more along the lines of "no, this doesn't need to be done, I need my break. Because illegal," but since I take my break so late, I just went ahead and did everything. Kristi, the girl from SAC tried to condescend to me about something in the afternoon. Eventually, she'll learn, but until she does, I'm just going to stop caring about trying to be nice when I'm so clearly right. Opted to do some grocery shopping when I got home, since I was out of just about everything. Big Eric invited me to Betty's around 9:30, but that would have pretty much ensured that I didn't get to Rich's. I almost didn't go anyway, since I was in such a flurry of listening to new music for Ashley's CD. Actually, one of the nicer things of the night was that I texted John Ermin. He declined, but acknowledged that he ALWAYS declines, and promised to make up for it. My stomach got suddenly wonky around 9:30 as well, which it's been doing for a while now. I almost never hook up on nights that I go out, but the idea that I couldn't, if such an opportunity arose, has kept me home on many occasions.

Did, eventually, drag myself out despite myself. Very much the right decision. I chatted with Richard Britton, danced and danced with Big Eric, served wit and served moves to delightful and bitchy drunks, respectively. Richard kept me after closing, which is always weird for me, but I gave Big Eric a ride home. He doesn't really like Dax all that much - the feeling is not mutual. Realistically, I am much more on Big Eric's side of that particular power dynamic. I am not single for a want of suitors. Well endowed, well off, thoughtful, attractive men. But I've been on Dax's side of things too, and the worst part is not outright rejection. The worst thing someone can do enter into a relationship they don't really want to be in - to then at best, take the partner for granted, and at worst, get "back" at them in subtle and not so subtle ways for being stuck in the relationship. I told him as much, though he was rather inebriated, so I don't know how much sunk in.

God only knows why, but I hopped online when I got home. Immediately got hit up by AlexSDtop, who was getting a small group together. All stuff I should be interested in, but sleep sounded much better.
