Jitters abound

batskeetsI have the jitters for a lot of reasons, but the major one is that I'm going to Wreckers tonight, and it'll be a scrimmage-heavy practice. I AM PLAYING DERBY TONIGHT OMG. It's been over two months since I skated a derby practice, but I feel pretty primed.
Oh, and last night, I started getting trained to do Action Stats, which is not easy, but it's also a really fun NSO position. It's the kind of thing that's likely to make me a better player, too, because it essentially boils down to watching what happens to/around the jammer, and judging whether it was effective or not.
So, I get to watch a lot of derby, nerd out about gameplay, and do a service for the players--they've apparently been begging for action stats at home team games for quite a while now--and that's just about the best job I can think of.
Somewhat hilariously, I'll be doing this position for the season opener. Ha. Ha ha ha. HA.
Otherwise? Work's going well, my cleanse-related caffeine withdrawals have subsided, and I'm generally feeling pretty good. Things at the House have been pissing me off, so I'm kind of teetering on the edge of overwhelmed because of that, but that's the only real complaint I have right now.
I had to pass on a couple of contracts, but those people couldn't afford me. Which, given my current workload, is totally fine. I have enough to keep me busy for January and February, and likely most of March, too. The right clients will come along, and I will be ready for them. I read an article yesterday that made me feel eleventy-billion times better about my productivity, and gave me some good ideas for how to manage my work style. Also,
And, DUDE. The sun is out! Onward and upward, y'all.
