unloved and exhausted

the last six days have been quite tiring, yet they have been some of the most fun of the summer. pine daze was a blast even though i worked eleven hours a day five days straight. it is a big party for all the members...basically a chance to get drunk for four days. well, we took that opportunity as well. wednesday night me and alyssa hung out with ben, jack, paul, and cory for quite awhile playing night golf at pinehurst with glow sticks and glow balls. it was a blast. thursday night we had a bbq at ben's house which led to paul leaving at 4am because he had to open and jeff and i sleeping in ben's basement. also quite a fun night. friday was jeff's birthday so the boys took him out to platte canyon bar/grill. saturday night was the last night of pine daze so all the pro shop guys went to the dinner and got smashed and then we went and hung out on number three. sunday night paul and i closed at work, then we ate at old chicago (yum!) and went to see willy wonka. i fell asleep for part of it, but the parts i remember were fun. the oompa loompas were disappointing, but oh well. i took the night off yesterday after opening and then playing in the second tournament because we had to fill teams since three people didn't show up. paul, jeff, and i all had to play on different teams. i think jeff's team was tied for second, mine was somewhere around fifth place, and paul's was close to last. it was fun. i played pretty well and won the longest putt made contest on 18, but couldn't put my name down being an employee, so i put my partner's name down. it has been a really fun week despite having fallen off the face of the planet and seeing only pinehurst members and employees.

i have today off, i close tomorrrow, and then i have thursday and friday off before i work another six consecutive days before my birthday. we're going to try to get ben to throw a big birthday bash here pretty soon for all the july and august birthdays in the bagroom/pro shop: jeff's birthday was last friday, alyssa's birthday is this friday, mine is next, molly's is two days after mine, and ben's is august 23rd. saturday will hopefully be a trip out to a pig roast with ben and jeff to see alyssa. we'll see.

now, i'm going to go try to spend at least part of my day off relaxing and getting started on harry potter before i have to go help some friends move.

cheers.
