Day 31 of Work & Travel - Parkwide Volleyball

Started work early today so that i would have time to rest a bit before going down to mammoth. somethine pretty eerie happened in the morning when i just got onto my register. I was talking to my fren for a while, den i hear a sudden click, i turn and looked at my cash register's monitor and i saw "8" being keyed in. No one else was around. Scary. The rest of the day was pretty boring, nothing much happened and morning's are always very slow.

I drove to mammoth for the Parkwide volleyball tournament. It was a pretty long drive, look me almost 1.5hrs to get to mammoth. First time driving out of Old Faithful and first time on mountain roads, it was quite fun, but gets boring after a while cos there was no music in my car, it only had a cassette player which kindda sucks. There was no audio input as well. Double sucks!! But it's okay, we got there safely and without getting lost.

There were 5 of us going there together as a team, not the same team as the one i play with last week. These guys are better, much better. We actually thought we had a chance of winning something, but i thought wrong, there were really strong teams around. Good thing we are in as champions of Old Faithful, so we dun have to meet any strong teams in the first round, we got thru to second round which is also the semi-finals and we lost!! But at least we lost to the eventual champions so i'm not too sad about that. And they were really good, we had no chance at all, they are college players from columbia, super zai.



We had pizza and nachos at the employees' pub at mammoth, that place looks like a cooler place to chillout compared to the pub in old faithful. Nice place. The drive back to Old Faithful was pretty exciting, cos the WHOLE journey was pitch black. There were no street lamps at all, the only light were head-on traffic which did not turn down their high beams when passing, ASSHOLES!!! I almost knocked over an animal if the car on the other side did not flash me to hint me to slow down. It was like a racoon or something crossing the road, dumb animal!! Got back to old faithful around 1am in the morning, very fun day of volleyball. :)
