Best Basketball Day

Yesterday, I played the best basketball of my life.

My friends and I rented out a gym where we play once a week. Its usually a five man team, one is a sub, and its up to seven points then we switch up opponents.

This is our second season, and it is the first time I scored more than 10 shots...in fact, I scored 15 shots in! I think last season the most I scored on a single basketball day was 7 shots.

The interesting thing is I am more known as a rebounder and I usually get my baskets in by way of offensive rebound and second shot opportunity.

Today I scored 4 shots from under the net and the other 11 shots were from the outside.

Why is this so amazing that I have to post it? Its because I am usually afraid to take shots. I always think that it will miss...and it usually does. But yesterday, I decided that I will do my best and to shoot. My mind was blank when I shot--and when I cleared my head and not thought too much about missing, I started to get it in.

The power of the human mind is so interesting. You cannot underestimate believing in yourself...a self-fulfilling prophecy if you will. I believe that I will be able to do this same level of performance for next week.

Yes I can!

Procrastination

Enemy of the State!

I made a check list in 2008 and accomplished a lot of the items on the list.

I am going to make a 2009 list!!!!

Take that!

Gym 2009

Went to the gym yesterday--the first of '09.

20 Minutes of the Eliptical followed with a nice 30 Minute shower ba-ha!

K...2 more months until my vacation! Gotta work hard!

Too Much Overtime = Bad

So I wake up at 5:25 am to get ready for work that starts at 7:30 am...work till 3:30pm...overtime until 9:00 pm...get home at 11:00 pm...DOTA until 2:00am...rinse and repeat.

Had to cover for a sick co-worker.

So tired. Maybe I should cut down on overtime.

What!? You can't be serious! Are you suggesting I cut on my DOTA!? No way!

Make sure to claim your hard earned overtime!

Last week I was conversing with a co-worker about salary and what not and touched upon the topic of overtime. This particular employee I was talking to is known as the Overtime King.

Having worked together during the holidays I had some questions regarding my company's overtime policies etc...

A couple of months ago the policy changed and to my errror I was still using the old system. I've corrected my fault and discovered that I have approximately $ 1,200 of unclaimed overtime.

Lesson learned...ensure your hours are accurately recorded and that you follow proper procedures.

Now...time to dive into the cash kwawawa!

And so it begins...

My blog is born!
