this morning #1690.
this morning, for the first time in a few days, i was feeling the side effects of getting a little too wasted. last night, after enduring my first day in my new role as manager, i decided that i deserved a treat. left work & hit the bar pretty hard. i remember talking with vinnie, this old, retired regular, for hours. venting, really. yesterday was the first time that i truly felt like i was on the wrong side of the fight. why’d i accept the promotion? money & power. obviously. cowardice at the thought of what would happen to me if i said “no.” my desperate desire for change. i was one day in & already regretting it. i laid out my struggle to vinnie. he may have had some true words of wisdom for me but all i can recall him saying is “life’s too short.”
