The Official Banter Away Thread

Yeah, with the population we worked with, sleeping was instant termination, way too much of a liability. Adding cameras sure made things easier when dealing with overnight people.
Yep, instant termination.
 
Wife's birthday today, so lets see if I can not screw this up today.

Haven't wrapped presents.
Haven't bought a cake.
Haven't figured out supper yet.

Well, this is a better start than I had imagined. At lease I bought presents lol.

Oh ****. And a card..... I thought kids were supposed to make cards for their mothers.....
You might want to go make sure the dog house in the back yard is properly insulated. And has a comfortable sleeping pad.
 
10 hours of meeting has me wanting to hurt people.. so I am going to Dairy Queen for a chocolate dipped cone.

Got to work this morning with 156 unread emails.

My inbox was 0 on Friday when I left.

You must have and the kicker, they're exempt from the Do Not Call list. :confused:
 
Had to drive 90 minutes to catch the boy's first game last night. Made it right in time for the first pitch. It was a bone chilling 38 degrees with 15mph winds. Illinois ugh.

Anyway, they bat and then his team takes the field. I then realize he's on the mound. Let me say that he has unlimited potential as a pitcher, but control during games has always been a struggle for him. I think he just mindf***s himself and starts chasing it. He actually quit pitching last year and then the HS coaches told him that he in fact had not quit pitching 😅 We had a long talk the other night about staying in the moment and believing in himself. Still, really did not expect to see him on the mound. He ended up going 3 innings against a very good team and giving up 0 ER (3 unearned due to some errors). Walked and K'd a couple. I could see him out there adjusting when things were tough. Proud dad moment.

My son pitched in HS as well. This brought back those butterflies in my stomach feeling that I always had back then. Man, I miss those times!

Man, it's mentally and emotionally exhausting isn't it? I used to walk to the farthest place on the field to watch in private.
