Did we break up?

It has now been officially 9 days since I last heard from Dan, and I am not counting the voicemail he left me at 1am on Friday night, knowing full well I would be sleeping. I'm not sure what this means for our relationship, but every other guy I've dated has ended things the same way, by never calling me again. I'm afraid the same thing has happened here. We had wonderful plans for this weekend and next, and now, with no communication, everything's up in the air. I don't want to be broken up, but it seems once again, I am not given the choice. Fuck him.

The weekend that never was

I'm not sure what the "mandatory" meeting Dan had this weekend but when I called him this afternoon, he was at the beach, specifically the jersey shore. I am so mad because I should have been there. I feel like he made some shit up just so he didn't have to drive to Pittsburgh. There's a lot we need to talk about but I'll have to make a list so I remember. He's really good at distracting me and getting me talking. And all know how much I love to talk.

You're a big booger for not calling me the past two days. You better remedy this quick or I will be pissed.

New equipment wanted

I submitted the paperwork for a new PC today at work. We'll see if my request is granted. I did have over 50 printed ticket numbers from issues I've had in the last 2 and a half years. I can't believe I'll be denied, especially since the last one was such a spectacular fail. I was online and random things started to disconnect, then my entire computer froze. When I rebooted, it reset to factory settings and deleted my profile off it. All day today, I've been lamenting the lack of my own settings.

Community Service

I have been in a bummer mood since Friday night, when I got a phone call. I was supposed to meet up with Dan this coming weekend in Pittsburgh, as it is halfway between us, but he had to cancel because he had a mandatory thing for his internship. It was only on Saturday, but that would entail him driving out on Friday, driving back on Saturday, driving out and back again on Sunday. Not exactly conducive to a great weekend. Our schedules are booked up for the next month, so the next available time we have to get together is 4th of July weekend (Booo traffic!), which I have an event, or the following weekend, which is the Paint the Town make up day.

Paint the Town was supposed to take place today, but was rained out with monsoon-like weather. We had already tapped the kegs for the after party, and who wants good beer to go to waste? So, we held the party in the morning instead. We had the beer, and all of the breakfast food that was left over, and some of the lunch stuff that had already been delivered. Plus, I had a boombox in my trunk that I got out and set to the radio station of our sponsor.

The problem? The beer wagon was on the edge of the parking lot, and the event tent was over in the middle, leaving a good 50 feet between them with torrential rain. Someone came up with the bright idea of a beer shuttle. We had a red tent that we manned a person on each leg. I would yell "All aboard the beer shuttle!" and we would shuffle about 20 people at a time over to the beer wagon to fill up. We had it timed so we headed over about every 6 minutes, so we would announce that too. Well, of course, I made so many trips over, I had to refill as well. Consequently, I was drunk by 11 am (but not the only one!). I managed to be quite entertaining to a lot of people, and somewhere on the interwebs there is a video. After a while, I had to wait for Drew, as he was assisting with ladder pick up, so I climbed in my car and fell asleep.

Apparently, I sent several drunken texts to my boys, and a hilarious voice mail to Dan, of which I don't remember what I said. I talked to him that night, and he told me that it was so cute :) He could totally tell I was drunk on the message, though. It has been a while since I've had more than 1 or 2 drinks, so it does not take much at all anymore- even less so than post surgery.

Anyway, talking about my Dan situation (damn his broken phone!) with a couple of people, taking a well-deserved nap, and good ol' fashioned drinking helped lift my mood.

PS- It's been one month today! This officially ends my challenge of keeping my relationship with Dan off Facebook. Not sure if I win; I'll have to ask on Monday. I don't think I'm going to go crazy and post all the pictures of us, or update my relationship status, but I will relax on the status updates, and posting in general. Hence the reason why I uploaded so much stuff today!

Three weeks and counting. :)
