WJ's Bottom Desk Drawer

[Whiskeyjack]

Feeling the blahs extra hard lately. I'm stuck in the office at least 3-4 more hours, and trying to keep my focus on things that don't suck.

Hockey playoffs.
A work project I'm actually excited about.
A new favorite BBQ sauce.
Boobs.
Making plans for summer shows, concerts, theater.
Planning college visits with my oldest.
The Red Sox winning streak.
Boobs.
Starting a new book.
Dinner plans with a friend next week.
Brainstorming a new character creation.
Boobs.
A few upcoming days off work.
Re-watching favorite stand-up comedy routines.
The smell of charcoal barbecues.

Ooooh, what’s your new book?

It’s strange that you didn’t mention boobs

Tonight Iam drunk. I am deservedly, well-earnedly drunk.
Tonight a visibly unwell-in-the-head man came into my church,into my office, intyo my group of grief-stricken widows, parents, and mourners of my grief support group. And he talked about his sins, he etalked about his love for JEsus. He talked about his divorce. And he talked about his faults and his depression and anger and loneliness. And he had a gun.
He didn't brandish it. He didnt threaten. He just had it. And he was visibliy mentaly unwell. Andwe talked. We talked for a long while as my grief support group quietly left one by one. and at the end it was just him and me and we talkeed for half an hour? 45 minutes? And he gave me a a hug and said thank youand left, like it wasany other Wednesday. And for him it might havebeen. For me, it was an unwell man in a low, low place, with a gun. which is a bad situation nto be in. He left in beter spirits. I leftt, checking to make sure i hadnt pissed my pants during the encunter.
It's not often my work makes me want a drink. Tonight it made me want several. So I'mwell deservedly finished my fglenlivet and onto my lagavulin and listenidng to metal. much to my wife's annoyance. but she understands. I got me a good one.

Also... i just realizded I said "encunter." I'mma gonna keep that word.

where is the Hug emote

As an Alcoholic, in AA...having spent time being part of the "On Call Group" I can truly understand this situation. Our paths to it may have been different, our paths to the outcome may have been different, but, our goals in the end, remained the same.

As an aside, my bottom desk drawer contains the Chip Trackers of my last 2 pets, a cat, and a dog, who both loved each other so much, and me so much, they often slept curled up together on my feet at night. They have passed into the long good night, but, their fond, warm and loving memories bring a smile to me each time I open that drawer and see their tracking chips.

My kid just got his SAT results. He said his only goal was to do better than me. He beat me by 10 points. Kid is smug as hell right now.
