Game and stuff

I went to the Brewers game on Thursday night. I think I spent more time thinking about punching the guy next to me than watching the game though. If you don't know a damn thing about baseball, don't yell stupid things to make it sounds like it. Being louder doesn't make the words coming out of your mouth any more right.


In other news I hope that the NFL games tomorrow go a little better than the college games today. I did horrible on my fantasy football college teams today.

Hockey is around the corner....NOW WITH LINKS AS REQUESTED

Go to My Sports Blog to see the rundown on everything for the Badgers I wrote. The departed, the returning, the newbies, and my team predictions.

Some added on from that is my predictions for the WCHA for the season in which I will not put there because it is nothing but based on my liking of the other teams combined with how well I think they will do. For instance, I love Mankatos jerseys and want them to do well so they are a lot higher than most people would put them.

So here they are:
1. Sioux
Lets face it, their entire team is returning

2. Wisconsin
I'm bias and hanging my hopes on Turris, Street, and Connelly.

3. Gophers
LGM is getting her ass kicked for being a secondary fan of this god forsaken team BUT they are good I just hate them

4. Pioneers
They always have a decent team so I can't fault them too much. I have no quams with Denver as of right now or else they'd be under Duluth.

5. Mavericks
I don't care if Mankato was as bad as the Seawolves, they would still hit 5 with me because I completely love their jerseys. I like them so much I would probably wear one if I went to a Badgers/Maverick game in Mankato (just to ensure not to get anything thrown at me and because they are cool looking)

6. Huskies (St. Cloud)
Is it bad that I had to look up their mascot because I forgot what they were? That tells you how much I like them.They have kinda cool uniforms though. Better than Gophers at least. WT wins extra points above LGM for liking the Huskies more than the Gophers, but since she doesn't like hockey like the rest of us they are about even.

7. Bulldogs
I have nothing against Duluth they just aren't that great of a hockey team usually. They have a cool mascot though.

8. Huskies (MT)
I just have a lot against Michigan. Long story and no I won't go into it. I have a hard time liking anything in Michigan at all because I am bias against the entire damn state.

9. Tigers
I just hate CC and I hope they suck. Go Denver!

10. Seawolves
They just aren't really ever good. And the recent feud on RWD comment with Donald has made them fall to 10th place because before that they were tied with the Tigers. Not really that was a complete lie, they were always 10th on my list. What are Seawovles anyways? Seriously, I've never heard of one and I think of myself as cultured....sometimes.

Sidenote: If you look on the USCHO standing we're all number 1. That's how it should be, we are all winners. Until the puck hits the ice that is.


Next on the agenda....numbers. Why do players feel they need to change their freakin' numbers after their freshman year? Seriously, no wonder I can't remember who is what number until 3 games into the season. Grr. Some peoples children, I'm tellin' ya. How do they expect me to remember who they are if they change their numbers all the time. Except Street, he can change his (he didn't) all he wants but he'll just have to take his shirt off completely for me so I can tell who it is.

And onward...
My early nominees for the All Hottie teams are in. It might change after I see them up close and personal so these are just a hint at who they might be and who to look for/at when WI is in town. And I have came to the conclusion that the Badgers need to find better times to take pictures of theses guys. Most of them look like it was just after practice and they threw a suit coat on them and snapped it.


Drewiske
Has the guy next door look

Davies
Has one of those cute squishy faces

Bohmbach
Has the hard ass military look

Bendickson
Has the pretty boy look

Ford
Doesn't really have a look he's just hot. But his picture doesn't do him justice.

Street
Has the boy next door look but his picture is also horrible. He sure has a nice set of abs and great muscle tone all over.

Mitchell
As long as he doesn't smile goofy he's pretty cute

Henderson
He'll never see ice time but he's good looking.

Goloubef
A freshman but he is cute and has blonde hair and blue eyes which for me isn't my typical liking.





The guys that never had or ever will have a chance to make the hottie team:

Engel
He looks like a caveman

Grotting
Troll comes to mind, but that isn't right. I don't know how to describe it.


I have a goal this year of getting a picture of every player that I think should be eligible for the hottie team and post it so that voters on RWD's site can really get a good look at them.

Hockey Season is Official

It is officially hockey season and time for me to start talking about hockey now. I got my season tickets in the mail on Saturday and now it's time to sit down, look at the roster, and evaluate everybody. Okay so that isn't going to happen on here, but in my mind I will be. I am not quite the stats person all the time and I am horrible with checking up on player in the offseason and checking out the incoming players. Believe it or not, I probably have learned more about the new WI recruits for this year from all the other fabulous blogs I read. If I get around to it, I will probably put my two cents in.

I officially won't have the internet at work beginning Oct. 1, or at least in the capacity of a laptop with access. I bought myself a Motorola Q to keep myself occupied at work though. I am a dork, I know. I might even actually post from a game sometime if anybody is hot to know the score and it isn't on tv where they are....but you'll have to ask sometime in the same week as the game or I'll forget. Anyways, I probably won't post a shit ton on the Q because, well lets face it, it's tiny and nothing like typing on a keyboard. I think I might get up to 30 words a minute on that thing if I try hard enough, but compared to the 70+ I can type on a computer, it seems like it takes FOREVER.

So my new boss has to call me every 10 minutes to ask me what to do all the time. I might go crazy before the opening game of hockey this year.......

It's Been FOREVER

I know, I know, I haven't been on here in forever. Ya'll probably stopped checking to see if I was alive. I get sidetracked easy (usually by video games). Lately I've been busy as all get out though. My boss quit a month ago and of course they hire a new guy 2 days prior to her last day which obviously does not give her time to train him. So guess who gets to train the new guy?!?! You're truely. And guess who trained my boss when she started....yup, Me again. And now you're asking, well why didn't they promote you to it? Well I can answer that for ya, although it's a long story. Here is the shortened version of it. This time I just didn't apply for it because last time before our female boss was hired I applied because I had been doing the job for our boss at that time because he was a lazy ass mofo that didn't want to do anything other than have an affair (they are just best friends say them) with the secretary. Anyways, so I applied and thought I had a great interview and everything. I guess I didn't. I found out I didn't get hired for it by calling my boss one morning and he said he was on his way to work. I asked why because he was never at work before noon and he said, "well I have to train the girl taking my spot." Nice way to find out you didn't get the job that you had been doing for the last year. So then he trains her for 2 weeks but she doesn't learn anything other than how to flirt with the receptionist so she calls me the day of her first day alone and says, "I know you are upset over not getting this job but I also know that you know everything about this place so could you please train me on something other than flirting." And of course I'm nice so I did it. We became more friends than her being my boss but that was cool. Not getting promoted was the reason I switched to nights so I didn't have to deal with people anymore. I also finished out my week on days and went into the main office to turn in payroll and the general manager (head of the madison branch that interviewed me and I actually had a friendly relationship with or so I thought) called me into his office and told me that I had the worst interview ever, I am too young, and that I live too far away from Madison and to never ever apply for a position again because he was mad and would never promote me. (flirty boss lived 20 minutes further than I did and now the new boss lives even further than him). At any rate, I got fucked out of the job. So I didn't bother applying this time and the female boss says, "well the general manager asked why you didn't apply. I told him I didn't know" my response was of course that he had told me never to apply for anything again. and she says, "I know you told me that and I kind of mentioned it/hinted to him about it and he said that he doesn't remember saying it. But I am quite she he probably did." In so little words, our general manager is an ass and only does what is good for him and he always says he knows he treats people like shit. Great, grand, wonderful, now why would I apply again?!? Anyways, so this new guy doesn't know how to use any microsoft office applications, types with two fingers, and doesn't understand the schedule. What? Yeah, you heard me. He's a dumbass, one that lives in Green Bay to boot. Like he's going to be able to be on call. Nice. So I have been training him and doing the schedule and payroll for him for the last 2 weeks because he dind't have time to learn the schedule/payroll system (it's on paper, not that hard) but whatever. So tomorrow I am giving it up to him (I hope) and I will have time to do whatever I want again. Though this new guys is kind of a jackass so I am not sure I"ll be able to have my computer at work anymore or anything like that. We'll see.

In other news, I've officially played Oblivion for 170+ hours now. I really wish those motherfucking games didn't tell you how long you're actually spent playing them. Why can't they just save and say, "saved at 06:32AM" just so I know when the last save was. I don't want to know I've spent more hours playing a game than there are in an entire week. So I'll play more when I get home tomorrow. Only 1 1/2 months until Guitar Hero III comes out, and only 3 weeks until Halo 3 is out. I gotta finish Obvilion quickly here. I only have 5 more Oblivion Gates to close though.
