Exhaustion

Holy hell, I am spent.

Tonight is the first time I've been home before 9:30 p.m. in over a week, and it'll be more than a week before I am again.

As I walked in I saw my roommate had just cleaned. He said he had cleaned the bathroom too, everything except the grout. Which he asked me to clean. Moments after I walked in the door before 9:30 for the first time in over a week and the only time I will in more than another week.

Yeah, that would be f-ing terrific.

So, I have the dream job. The job itself is pretty cool. Except I spend hours each day doing the PR interns job (because no intern has been hired to replace me in the 2 months that have elapsed since I was offered my current position).

On top of the intern's duties, I have my own...which varies from taking random phone calls and e-mails, to writing releases about events we have NO information on, to writing stories for our program that our assistant GM tells me what to title, what to write about, and still changes constantly.

On game days I have to update standings and lineup boards. And stock the friedge in the pressbox. And make sure the pressbox has plates, and silverware and cups. And I have to get stat packs together.

I have to scan multiple papers and the intra-web-net for any possible coverage. I have to e-mail reporters and bloggers. I have to go to meetings.

After the games I have to write post-game stories and update the Web site. I show up the time as everyone else and leave at least an hour (generally much more than that) later.

My friend Lindsay is the greatest...she lets me crash at her place. That means that the 45 minutes I'd have to drive each way are converted to SLEEP. And she makes runs to the grocery store with me to buy pressbox soda.

I love my job, but I suck at it right now. It's not hard to figure out why. I have little to no direction, I have absolutely no time to figure shit out, and communication and organization are not staples of our front office.

I swear I'll update my blog again....someday. When I get an intern.

Or when the season ends.

Either way, please don't give up on the blog forever!
