...We've entered February, which is the start of my two worst months traditionally. Of all the things that have gone wrong in my life, about 90 percent of it happened in February and March. I'm not saying I'm having the best time of my life for the rest of the year, but I usually don't have that many problems.
But after five full days, so far so good. I won $40 in about 20 minutes when I was in Las Vegas for the latest UFC fight on Groundhog's Day.
I'm also being proactive on the advice of a friend and trying to make the best of it and avoid the pitfalls. We'll see how that is coming along. I just need to be wary of the next 55 days. Damn leap year.
...And as for work, the powers that be moved the sports department to news. There are three reasons why this sucks: First, they stole my Mystery Spot bumper sticker when they moved my desk, now I'm going to have to go back to Santa Cruz to get another. Second, my desk is right by the main walkway so everyone walks by me. Third, I sit next to one of the most annoying people in the office (don't even defend him some of you who know who I am talking about). Not only does he jump into every conversation being held with information that only Cliff Clavin would love, but he also has a series of nervous twitches. The only positive is that I don't work all five days with him, but one is too many. I found my Gareth Keenan or Dwight Schrute, depending on which "The Office" you like more.
...Speaking of work, I was given a challenge by the sports editor: Put a football stadium next to the Queen Mary. It ran not only in the Press-Telegram, but also the Daily Breeze and Daily News. More than a half million potential readers.
Until next time.
