It's now 5:30, the work day is over. People are going home. But I'm still here. See ther's 4 more hours before gametime. So I can take the time to either go home or stay here and get some stuff done that I normally can't get done because there are people here.
Today is one of those days I have to stay here and gets stuff done.
One thing I forgot to mention is my manager work. Every week is a new game. Every game requires an evite (or invitation) to go to the team to see who can make the game. Anything before 6:00 is pressure on the team to show up. There are people who don't get off work till 6PM. so they end up missing it. Then I have to find players to come in and play.
This week though, I don't have that issue. Everyone except Jeff will be there. so I will have a full team, 5 guys, 6 girls, and me (goalie). Any more than that will end up cutting into people's times. So I'm happy. the pre-6pm games are madness. last pre 6pm game, half the the team couldn't make it. So I scrambled. I emptied my Soccer Rolodex, and even found new people from my Six40 (Church) group to come in and play. It sucks; even more for those who paid and can't make these games. it's part of being the manager.
But I also have a rule on that. If you're a guest, you don't start. Starting is a privilege for people who are paying members of the team. Of course, if we don't' have enough people, you'll start.
2 more hours till dinner. How much work can I get done.
