OMFG

We got yelled at today! I haven’t been yelled at in years! Hang on, let me qualify that. I haven’t been yelled at by professionals in years. No no, that’s not it. I mean I haven’t been yelled at by professionals who I respect in years. That’s it.

It was weird. Totally weird! I’m no spring chicken, I get the need to lay down some law. But ouch, in a group context it’s so hard to know what to take personally. If I had more experience in team sports I might be able to process this better. “You were all total shit today!” means that most of you underperformed, some of you were okay and a couple of you just played your last match. “But which bits were me!”

I felt that a lot of today’s criticism was aimed at me, but in a group setting I couldn’t talk it through. That killed me! There was no excuses for our transgression (inappropriate silence, if you must know), but there were extenuating circumstances that haven’t changed. So I can’t see how I can guarantee non-naughtiness in future. Argh. Grrr.

In better news, we’re storylining really great stuff. Watch Neighbours. In May 2008. Or now, if you want. You could do worse. Like watching a CSI.

And the Seahawks won 24-0 over the rather inept San Francisco 49ers. YAY! And I got to watch some of it in our tearoom, live from Seattle. Seattle to Richmond, the USA into Neighbours. It felt good in my soul.
