Commercialism in Softball, Now I have seen everything.

Monday morning I should have been bright eyed and bushy tailed, however I was not. I even went to bed at about ten thirty last night. So, I decided that since I had some time to burn this week I would burn it and sleep some more. I did not get into work until about nine-thirty. When I got in I learned that there was another problem in juvenile. It was quiet for weeks then I do a courtesy check up visit and they have no problems. The next day a printer goes down, the day after that a monitor. So, I have learned my lesson.

In-between working on that I was trying to get a new employee with the Sheriff's office set up with e-mail and a domain account. I was getting a computer for the health department in Pullman ready to go. I was trying to deal with the other problems as they came up. I was pretty busy.

At 1600 hours I left for Pullman. I installed the computer at the office and then head to campus. I stopped in and saw George. We chatted about money, houses and life.

Then I walked to the CUE building to the computer lab there and hung out with Ryan for a while. We were talking about our Intramural softball team, the Valley Road Nadirs. First we talked about the players and if there was anyone who would not fit into the plan we have for this season. We are tired of losing, and that is not our tradition. So, Ryan said what I was thinking Brett, though he is a good player, and a good hitter, does not seem to be a team player. He does not seem to care what his teammates are up to, he spends all his time sitting with his girlfriend on the sidelines.

We were also talking about having a sponsor this year. We will get shirts for four dollars each from the Nacho Man. I think we will change our name to the Nacho Man Nadirs. That is yet to be seen. Commercialism, you gotta love it. I am thinking about sponsoring a softball team for the summer men's ball. I will have to see how my money situation is, plus I need to see if I will have enough people.

I had to run to fire training. We were doing part two of the MCI (Mass Causality Incident) training. It was fun stuff. We were learning about setting up command, transport, triage, treatment, base, and staging areas. There was a lot to learn, and the only way to get good at it would be to practice it a lot.
