Cat Days Afterthought...
13 years ago
General
Know that I don't always know what I'm going to say. Games, Entertainment, Self, Weather, Politics, Events, History, Philosophy, all are fair game and any are free without the waring eyes of family or work.
I'm glad I went to Cat Days, not only for the fact I could get away from the house for a couple days but I could spend it around people I rather enjoy their company. But... it was a chore. An absolute chore.
The last week or so some of my friends were feeling under the weather, as thus projects were delayed and I was already playing crisis management, it was to the point of not knowing if Cat Days was worth attending. Everyone made it there and back safely, at least. Damage control can at least wait for a couple days. And as I sit here typing this... I learn of more damage to repair.
Driving to and from the event was okay, on the way to pick up my friends I almost was in a car accident. Highway split off and at the physical last moment someone decided they were in the wrong lane, swerved in front of me causing me to both hit my brakes and pull away from him. But there was a car to my side so I couldn't even do that! I felt I was loosing control of the vehicle but I got the adjustment I needed and could return to the gas pedal. No collisions anywhere. Thankfully the rest of the driving that day was safe.
Being at the hotel.. well, it was nice knowing that the room was easy to find, and in prime location to ConSuite and Headless Lounge (joining doors TO headless lounge for convenient late night navigation). A couple noise complaints over the weekend but I think those were isolated incidents. IE: If everything worked out between MNFurs and the hotel as it SHOULD have, it most likely wouldn't have happened.
What I really didn't enjoy was how my time was spent when not volunteering. Constantly running up and down between 2nd and 4th floor, trying to locate either a person or a specific item. I missed a few things I would have wanted to sit in on (that's the price you pay when you volunteer) but when not working I ended up looking at the schedule and saying "damn, there's nothing I care bout!". So let's go find out friends, no wait their busy with their own shit!... okay let's find food... okay time to go back to the desk. Hit the pool? No it's late at night and closed!! Mead? NO. I don't even know when that was! I get a moment to catch up with people and they are asking me to drive them somewhere because I'm the designated driver! Suddenly too tired to give a shit about anyone and just want to sit down play card games. Then realize I got my second wind and it's time for bed.
Literally, the only time I ever felt like "I get to do something without over exerting myself" was Cards Against Humanity.
And then it was over! Wake up around 9:00 Sunday morning take a shower, everyone else is still asleep. Wake up around 10:00 and start throwing everything together so we can meet checkout. Stopped at the Mall of America (which I don't like that place on principle) for lunch, and then were home by 3:00. Everyone went their separate ways and I ended up crashing in bed until 6. I got to bed around 1am and slept for 12 hours... how the fuck was I so tired I didn't do shit (AND THATS THE PROBLEM).
The Cat Days went smoothly I think for what it was worth. A few things were learned, but the two "half days" went by fast. I missed them.
