Cubbies!

So its 1045, just got home form work at about 930 and still have a BUTT load to do...probbaly b/c one of my bestest friends came into town yesterday and had some FREE CUBS TICKETS...here is the story. :)
Get a text that they are free and we should come...FREAK OUT and one of our bosses hears me who will remain nameless (Steve) and says "bet you wish you could go huh?" and smirks and walks out the room. So a little freaked out...Renee and I start emailing back and forth...probably about 18 emails in a row trying to get enough courage to ask Kevin, the other main man. I secretly write a note to Geoff, a guy we work with starting out the note "Shhhhh...." and he laughs at us telling us to ask Kevin. While I am doing this, Renee is texting Elizabeth asking her what she thinks. She responds with "He is a Gentle Giant, ask him!" and so we muster up the guts....even get what we want to say ready and ask. It should have gone "Kevin, would you be ok with Renee and I going to the cubs game and coming back after wards to finsh up work?" but this is not a perfect world and this is how it went "Keeeevvvin?....ummm, ok, so do you think ,I mean would it be ok...well we have these tickets, umm, Ok, can we go to the game? We will come back." and then I think I threw up. Anyways, he answer was (amazing might I add) "I dont care where you work or when you work as long as you do good work" then told us to go have fun. Seriously, I respect this man so much.
So, we go home, get our t-shirts and flip flops on and even sun screen as you know what happened at the sox game... and we get there...NOT NEEDED. Our seats were in the shade, lol and we were FREEZING! BUT, we the tickets were free...free free free and I dont care how cold it was, I loved it!
Here are some quick pics from the game.

hey girl!! so glad you got to go to the game. and i respect your boss, too, for his good attitude ... a huge contrast to the people here who are *never* around for all the meetings they "schedule" and then just leave you sitting at your desk for hours on end waiting waiting waiting, not going to lunch, and then decide that maybe they'll come see you when it's convenient for them with NO consideration for the fact that maybe you are totally starving because you've been chained to your desk for 5 hours waiting. *sigh* seriously, then you're made to feel guilty for even *asking* if you can take off for lunch to meet *someone else in advertising.* UGH!!! what is with these people? xx
