so tuesday seems to go by as a regular day. ... at least, as far as i can remember. ... so... lets just skip it, eh?

wednesday, july 28th - 2:00 pm

wednesday, on the otherhand... wednesday had somethings goin down!

most importantly, the latest 4kids softball game!

now, we've already played 4 full games, and stand at 3-2 -- the extra game coming from a forfeit, where the other team simply didn't show up, cuz they forgot the game was rescheduled. woo, says i.

anyway, quite honestly, i was getting tired of the whole softball experience.

i mean, as i had imagined it in the beginning of the year, it would just be this fun, near-weekly gathering of employees on the field, to enjoy an uber casual game of softball. i thought it'd be a great way to have fun and meet a buncha my co-workers in an out-of-office environment.

but that really isn't what it has turned out to be, thus far.

rather, its been a somewhat embarassing, somewhat political ordeal that seems to try as hard as it can to remove the aspect of fun.

flat out, it aint.

i mean, in the casual, who-the-fuck-cares system i was envisioning, i assumed everyone would get a chance to do everything. everyone would get their turn.

but its so different. there's a set lineup of players, mostly those who played last year, and rarely ever someone new. everyone seems to try too hard to win and they're upset with losses or bad atbats. the girls who are required to play (the rule mandiates 4 must be there at all times) never even get a shot, as anytime the ball comes near them, someone runs in front to cut it off.

cuz, worst case scenario, it'd be so fucking horrible if a ball was dropped, or something.

then there's me, and my sad story.

i know that there were, like, 50 people who signed up, and i understand that i'm very low ranking and, especially, new to the whole company, but... to have not even gotten a single chance is belittling.

i've been to every game. and, as the season has gone on, and others have realized the lack of fun, less and less people attend. its down to the point where jon and i (and whatever extra girl there is) are the only people not playing.

... at all!

we don't even get put in after, like, the third inning. or get to switch with someone in the field on occasion.

and this is sposda be a fun league!
