Expert from book:

The boys started coming in one by one. Some were in groups but most saw me and walked slowly toward where I was standing. They didn’t really know what to expect I guess, even though Coach Thompson had spent over an hour explaining the whole process to them. Once the locker room was empty we spent the first five minutes giving practice jersey’s out. Coach Reyes taped their last names on the front of their shirts so coaches and teammates could quickly learn names. This process could have been done earlier when they met with Coach Thompson but I liked being part of that. I had learned over time that if I wrote or read a kid’s name only about three times I could have it memorized. So by the end of this five minutes I’d have everyone memorized. Very helpful. But very frustrating to the other coaches. I liked it and I liked that it made them frustrated. Most of the players kind of freaked out about it. Later in the first practice I would bark at one them and use their name and they were so shocked that I knew it. I was happy because I figured they’d listen to me if I knew their name and said it every chance I got.

ohhh very nice. More to come. I'm in the second chapter now... it gets good :)

Sometimes...

Sometimes I sit and I wonder what to do next. I am so hot and cold at work. Last week or last couple of weeks it's been so busy and everyone was was yelling and screaming and dancing on graves etc. But now quite, still calm and boring. I wish I had a job that I just sat around and did nothing and made good money, until I have a job where I sit around and do nothing and make good money. Time is slow man. Anyway today I thought of a bout a million things to do that were not work related but that I couldn't do because I was at work. It's all so boring. I think that I need a new job or something. I like my job when we are actively engaged but when I'm not oh man I don't like it. I want to switch jobs with someone that works at home. I don't even care what you do. I just want to be able to fill the boring moments with stuff. Like a nap or sweeping or even cleaning something. I don't care I just am not able to sit here and blog or surf the net anymore. I of course could do some work stuff like call people and see where I can help or go talk to someone that probably could use some help. But I don't want to. It goes back to its easier to sit here and complain then to go out and find something to do. I used to think that I'd like a job where I'm driving around all day. Thinking "how convenient another QT, I'll stop." But on the other hand I'm not sure I'd stick to doing whatever it was I was supposed to be doing. I also think that I'd rather have a job where it's the same busy all the time. Like building or teaching, but then again who knows, I'd probably not like that either. I'll stay here as long as I can because it's the only job I figure where I can blog twice a week and it looks like work!
