Honestly?

Yesterday something interesting happened. I went to a clinic where I was supposed to work. I arrived and introduced myself, while everybody there looked at me with a, "What the hell are you doing here?" look. I knew something was wrong. Somebody showed me to the doctor's office where I sat and talked with the other vet. She then informed me that there may be 2 vets coming in today. Not good for me.

Why is that, you ask? Because that probably means that I was going to get the shaft. So I waited around for about 30 minutes when a woman told me that the other vet was supposed to be there (even though I called on Friday to confirm that I was supposed to work) and I was not needed. THANKS A LOT!!!

I had just driven 50 minutes through rush hour traffic to get there, and I knew that I was going to hit rush hour traffic on the way back home too. Nice. So when all was said and done, I wasted about 3.5 hours of my life on this gig.

But here's the kicker. Wait for it.........The other vet that was working that day (who took my job), was an ex-girlfriend of mine. You read the previous sentence correctly. Here's something even better, she broke up with me via a "Dear John" letter.

And the hits keep coming.

The Rangers made a pathetic Opening Day showing yesterday. The Astros did too, even though they won. Now Roy Oswalt, did fantastic, but our offense was business as usual. The Astros won 1-0. How did they manage the 1 run? A wild pitch. That's right, the only offense they could muster was as a result of a pitcher getting a little crazy with the spitball.

Poker Content:
The UKbetting tables kicked my ass yesterday. I lost about $140 in about 2 hours, which is pretty impressive, when you consider that I was playing one $2/$4 table and two $1/$2 tables. It was a never-ending string of 2nd best hands (flush loosing to boat, top 2 pair losing sets, etc., etc., blah, blah, blah). Brutal.
