It's just come to my attention, a very sad fact indeed.
Work has always taken a toll on the numbers that I work and my mates have always known this. It appears that a significant proportion of my mates, including a number of guys that I would have considered my best mates, no longer feel the same way. Apparently, between work and the club, I've demonstrated that I don't have time for then and hence they don't have time for me. If the club means so much to me then I should just stick to that.
Just had an interesting chat with an old mate who spelled this out.
I'm sorry, but shit like that cuts really deep..
