radlilimSeems I'm turning into a once a week blogger. Things could be worse. A few random things.
We had the gay softball league draft night this week. That's where all (or most) of the coaches sit around and we take turns picking people for our teams, in an attempt to make all of the teams even for the coming season. It's a req league, so the goal is for everyone to have fun, learn softball skills, and there should be no team that can easily beat another. That doesn't always work and I'm annoyed at one coach. But I think we have a decent team. We only won one game last year, and that was by forfeit. But the group will be fun, I hope.
I'm no really winning books in contests from book blogs these days anymore. And there is a reason. Two really. Now that I have my tablet, I have a ton of free books I need to slog through, read and enjoy the good ones, try and delete the bad. So I only try for contests where I'm really interested in the book. And it seems that there used to be a lot more hard sci-fi, horror and fantasy on these blogs, and now it's mostly romance. Which I'm not interested really at all.
I'm still getting a handle on my new job. Still not sure why everyone says I'm doing a good job. But I've decided that as long as my boss, direct coworkers and the COO say I am, I'll just believe them. And I'll deal with it then, if I hear otherwise. I have no solid number or stat to judge my performance anymore, and this leaves me confused and searching for some justification for "doing good". But it sounds like customer service and project management don't really have one, I'll just have to learn to deal.
