went out with tony after work tonight. went to the casino (i won!) then to denny’s to eat. it’s been a long time since we’ve hung out, outside of work. first time we’ve really talked in a long time. and we didn’t even really get into anything too deep, but it was really nice. he is a really great person and a really great friend. sometimes i forget (in a way). he made sure i know he’s there for me to talk to about anything if i need to. how’d he put it… hah…”without the ackward pauses in conversation” haha. he said it was nice to see me outside of work and smiling again, because he noticed that i don’t ever smile at work anymore. because i don’t. because i’m burned out. it was really nice to spend time with him, and smile again. feels like i haven’t in a while. so yeah. had a good time.
