Yeah, Matt and I were being respectful of the group who decided to have dinner all together right when we showed up. We were under the impression it was a happy hour, not a "sit down" meal when we showed up at 7pm. This "respect" to me includes not smoking, drinking, and staring at a bunch of people trying to eat a full-on meal whilst I gaulk. We would have been happy to join everyone for the meal had we known it was going to be that way. I apologize if this comes off as being "not part of the group" but to me, it is more of a manners thing and has nothing to do with being shy, rude, or avoiding any particular subject matter or person.

I had fun. I had so much fun, I didn't go to work the next day..
Yes, I know no one forced me to do anything, it was purely my own choice, but I did sleep in till 10 am, caught a new movie (I Robot), and washed the ride on one hell of a beautiful day yesterday!!!
Alas, I still have a job, damnit!

Or is that live down too !!!
Almost as if I really win when I lose. Yeah I'm sure that will start some stuff all over again. Now as the haze begins to clear in my brain, I don't recall WW ever accepting those terms.
