Lots of days to cover

It is 11:12 am on Sunday April 27th.  I have not updated the blog in a while due to their not being much at the time to cover.  It was a good end of the week at the job with me actually doing some work which was nice.

On Thursday I really did nothing there was no work really to be done at all.  Friday I finally got to work as I updated the website under season tickets and groups.  There was some info that needed to be changed and some new info that needed to go up, so I was able to make that more updated.  Then we got our season tickets booklets in and It is my job to seperate all of them into the groups that get them.  I almost have it all done but have to finish it up on Monday.  Also on Friday, one of the staff did some cooking of the food we are going to be using this upcoming season.  It was pretty good stuff so the food at our park will be cheap and excellent.

Also on Friday, I was able to get a free ticket to the Laredo Bucks hockey game.  They have made the finals the last 4 years and were down 3-2 in the conference semi finals to the Arizona Sun Dogs.  The Bucks won the game 9-2 and were able to push the series to 7 games.  However, during the course of the game I found myself wanting them to lose and Arizona to win for a couple of reasons.  The Bucks were up 5-1 in the 2nd period and then trying to be jackasses they just started taking cheapshots to the Sun Dogs players.  I can understand if it was a close game and stuff but Arizona was getting smoked, and the Bucks were just going out there to try and hurt them.  I did not like that play at all.  Also the refs in the game really wanted a game 7.  The bucks had 7 power plays in the first period and 5 of them were very weak calls.  One other thing that pissed me off in the game as that after every goal the Bucks score the fans throw plastic corn on the ice because Bucks eat corn.  By far that is the dumbest gimmick I have ever seen.  They allow the fans to throw it on the ice for 40 seconds and it ends up delaying the game 5 minutes after every goal.  Just stupid.  The good news is that the Bucks lost on Saturday 6-1 and are out.  I guess the cheap shots came back to bite them.

Yesterday was a slow day as I pretty much just watched the NFL draft and NBA playoffs.  I also got a 3rd roomate who is one of the players trying to make the team.  He is from Puerto Rico and was signed by the Twins at the age of 16.  He is now 19 and just trying to find a way to play baseball.  He speaks enough English that I am understand him and is a pretty cool guy.

Well that is all I got for now.  I am not doing anything tonight and will just be relaxing before working tomorrow.  hope all is well with everyone.
