I woke up at 7am today... Just found my eyeglasses an hour later which were not so conveniently on the side table next to the couch in the living room. I thought I was on pretty good behavior yesterday?...
It was my last day at NEBO. A gig I have gave my all to for the past 5 years plus. Honestly, it felt good to get out of my apartment. My apartment right now is a strong reality of my life that I am leaving behind. Anywhere outside of the apartment doors is freedom.
Work had a tension in the air. I think it was nerves of the final week of the holiday. Maybe it was just because it was a Monday and all the financial douches were eager to start their vacations whatever it was, it was a busy Monday and only few knew it was my last day before I got there. Hell, I wasn't even 100% sure considering there is a party of 100 people tomorrow I might have been needed for.
Today is going to be a clusterfuck of getting everything ready. New bank account. Finalize Christmas gifts. Wash the dog. Pack my life into a car. Then celebrate my last Boston night, least for awhile. The plan is to hit up Abe and Louie's. Eat a fabulously delicious lobster of some sort, then hit up the rum district.
Leaving Porter's last night I realized I wouldn't see my Rummy Steve in awhile as he is not working the bar tonight. This is another kid who will always put a smile on my face. He always wants to be surly, but he is just hilarious. Porter's has always had a thing for some innocent gambling. Mostly over/unders that end with the loser taking the worst possible shot the other can think of. At first it was as simple as tabasco. Gin & tabasco. Sambuca & tabasco. Then malt vinegar got involved. Then parmesan cheese. Imagine all of the condiments one might have in a restaurant bar and hope the combination doesn't make you hurl right after.
Anywho, as I thought I composed myself before hugging Steve goodbye I lost it and tears ran rampant. He reinforced what others have told me, "We will always be here when ya come back, ya rummy."
God love him!
Well I got me some stuff to do so I'm out for now. We'll be off to NY tomorrow :)
