Nine days went by so fast, and big events have happened! :)
First things first, the Giants advanced to the NLCS beating the Braves in four games! Woohoo! I had the priviledge to attend the first game of the series in San Francisco with Mike. I originally invited my dad, but work got him tied up. That game was a whole new level of fun, and Tim Lincecum's performance was so epic - a complete shut-out game with 14 strikeouts! Oh man! We sat in the arcade section, and I could not have been more satisfied with our seats. It was a great view, and the fans were amazing! For the record, the chant, "Posey's better!" originated from our section in reference to the other Rookie of the Year contender, Jason Heyward. Yeah! I don't think there was ever a quiet moment during the ballgame, and I enjoyed every minute of it. Then... of course, the Giants lost game 2, but went to Atlanta to take games 3 and 4! Mike and I were in Anaheim at that time, so we watched game 3 at Shakey's and game 4 at ESPN Zone in Downtown Disney. SO MUCH FUN! Of course, the Giants had to end the series in a Giants-fashion, TORTURE!
As I mentioned above, we were in Anaheim. :) On Saturday afternoon, my dad brought me and Mike to Oakland Airport to catch a flight to LAX. Upon arrival, we took the shuttle to Avis rental car lot, and I got my first rental car ever! It was a Ford Focus and such a gas saver -- yippee! I've never driven a Ford before, and it wasn't so bad! ;) Anyway, we drove to Anaheim, checked in at our hotel (yay, free accommodation!), and called it a night. We spent the following two days at the Disneyland Resort, taking three-hour breaks each day to watch Giants baseball! LOL! We also watched World of Color twice! It was just too beautiful to not to watch again and again. Aah! It was a fun, relaxing trip. Next time, we're definitely doing more at the park! Haha.. and our trip ended as we flew back on yesterday afternoon. Blah!
Today, I had to return to work. We were busy and short-staffed, but my boss paid for my lunch! :) Yeah! Oh, and I got a promotion! I'm not sure how I feel about it yet though, but hey, it's advancement! I'm currently trying to finish my modules by Saturday. I don't know how that'll go considering we are short-staffed, it's a busy week, and one of the staff likes to lolly-gag. -___- On the other hand, I'm going to classroom training next week; my new position will take into effect next week as well. I'm kind of nervous. >.<*
p.s. I have totally lost respect for a manager from a different site. That breeze, tsk tsk.
Ok, I've rambled. Time to eat a late dinner... *sigh* Then, wait for Saturday, the first day of NLCS. Bring on the Philies, GO GIANTS!! :)
