5 Things I Miss
Top 5 Things I Miss
5. Playing Beer Pong - Damn that game was fun! I had the best partner in the world because he was 6 foot 5 and he played basketball in high school. We played in games in the bar, in people's homes, hell, we even played in tournaments. He taught me well and we kicked ass. That was back in the days when drinking was still fun for me and I could usually remember most of the night.
4. Days of Our Lives - When school was out I used to sit in the house and plan my day around this soap opera. I would make my lunch and have it ready for exacty 1 p.m. when it was time to sit down and watch. I never missed a day and I talked about it with all of my friends because we were all obsessed. Now I tape it, but I never have time to watch it and its a bit far fetched now that I'm not 15.
3. Ocean City, MD - Going to Ocean City for the summer was always a blast. It was pure freedom! No parents, no rules, lots of alcohol (pain in the asses at Seacrets on the Bay), lots of blackouts, amazingly no jail, and even if I had a boyfriend, he didn't exist when I was in Ocean City. It was like an alternate universe where the only thing that mattered was having fun. Oh yeah - there was a beach too! I made it out there every day even with a hangover.
2. My parent's boat - They still have it. They still go out on it every weekend, but it's up for sale now, so I think that'll be ending soon. I remember we used to trailer it to the marina and I'd always want to sit in the back of the truck. Then, when we got to the marina I couldn't wait to get out on the water and I'd be like "daddy, go faster - go faster". I'd always sit up on the bow (I'm sure that's real safe) and I'd hold on and we'd go flying over the waves. I had a jet ski for a while too. I never see the Bay or the Ocean anymore. I love Vegas, but I miss the water a little bit.
and the number 1 thing I miss...
1. Working at the Dept. of Defense. What a cake job that was! I never had to show up on time - they had flex time. We had tons of leave so we could take off whenever we wanted. We could take lunch if we wanted, we could take as long as we wanted or we could skip lunch all together. There were tons of military guys walking around - my personal eye candy. I'm talking Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines. Can you imagine ladies? The cafeteria had a taco bell and a pizza hut! There was a Rite Aid inside, a bank, a barber, shyt - you never had to leave which was a good thing because you had to walk a few miles to get to your car. Yeah, those were the good old days.
Well, that's it - Time to go to work. They actually make me show up on time at this place - Slave Drivers!!

I was trying to think of a job that I miss and there isn't any.
Oh wait, I do miss the job I had with ADP a few years ago now that I think about it.

Why did you leave the DoD job? It sounds like a good deal.

I miss the trips I used to take when I was in high school. My parents didn't want me gone for long so they would get the round trip plane tickets for me and I would return them and get bus tickets. In those days the plane tickets cost at least 10 times more than bus tickets, so with the extra money I could stay longer. I was such a miscreant I never bothered to call them to let them know I'll be staying longer. One time they got suspicious and insisted on taking me to the airport. I told them my friends will think I'm a mama's boy so don't you dare. LOL.
And yes Carmen I'm gay. A bit rusty but still.

I can't think of anything intelligent to comment about.
Sorry.

My beer pong team name was Cheech and Chong. It fit...at the time (maybe a little now ahem). Maybe you should have a "Beer Pong re-visted night....

I used to watch Days of our Lives with my mom in the '70's. Just to date myself, that included Doug and Julie first getting together, Mickey having amnesia and being found by Maggie who I think lived on a farm or some such thing--that's enough from me!

Ah the good old days.
The gov't is trying to pressure a lot of DoD civilian employees to fill admin roles in Iraq. Eeeek!
Lots of great benefits and retirement to give up leaving that job though!

Miss Carmen Poker Girl, I stumbled onto your blog and you have me hooked. I'm a near virgin poker player and am following your exploits. I'm probably one of the people you win money from when you're playing. Next time you are in Mesquite I'll "donate" money to your cause. Peace.

how I miss the trips to OC as well...so much fun out there, but you really couldn't beat Secrets happy hours for 2$ budlights on Sundays...

I am sooo jealous of your previous job... that sounds like the perfect schedule... I am wanting something similar.

:( on the boat being for sale.
Hope you are enjoying your summer even though you aren't in Ocean City!

Taco Bell AND Pizza Hut??? There is a heaven!

re: #3. I was in Ocean City last October and while it was beautiful, it was dead as a graveyard. Mom wanted to be there in the off season to enjoy the peace. Poo on that- I want to party!
