Hi ho, hi ho, it's back to work I go. Despite my residual excitement, I pretty much passed out as soon as my head hit the pillow. I hadn't slept well the night before, because of course I was excited for the tournament to come. So yesterday morning was hard getting up, but once the excitement hit I was pretty much on a high all day long. I guess it's no wonder I fell asleep so easily.
This morning was hard getting around again, but I did get enough rest. I missed the bus, but Mom was able to give me a ride and I made it to work on time. The girls at work were all excited to hear about the tournament. Most of them hadn't known much about Roller Derby before I started talking to them about it, and even still many of them aren't as interested themselves. But they all know now, and are willing to share in my excitement even if they aren't as excited. Some of the guests even overhead the conversation and had to speak up. It was a lot of fun today.
Except for John, he didn't like us talking about things outside of work. Not that he likes us talking amongst ourselves much anyway. But he got to witness one of the guests reacting to the conversation and after that he let it go.
Though I'm kicking myself. It seems I forgot to tell Hal all about it. He joined me for lunch, which was odd for a Sunday. Normally we would have talked on Friday to confirm dinner plans for Saturday night. Of course, Friday I was off.
It's not like we make plans for the following Saturday evening while having dinner. He doesn't usually bring it up until Friday when he joins me for lunch, and he doesn't want to talk much outside of that. As nice toward him as I have been, he has been taking our dinner's for granted. Part of me feels good about sticking it to him that way. Of course the rest of me apologized for not mentioning it.
All that said, he told me he was glad I had fun and even asked about the tournament. He knew of the roller derby, but he'd never been to a bout. He mentioned next time I might invite him to come with.
We'll see.
