Assignment?

At some point during the spring sports season, I will be on assignment. An assignment created by me, for me to do. It's for NISB.

Be prepared. It'll be lethal.

REALLY Not doing too well

I know I keep saying it, and I never do it. BP turned hellhole once again as their heater broke. Again. I was stuck working all night in the cold. Again. What a way to come back after having five days off.

Now I have a cold. And I'm looking. Again.

I've been off of work the last five and a half days, and I really don't want to go back. But I have to. It's the only thing that is bringing me dough.

Had a good story idea on the Shootouts, but the Journal-Standard pretty much touched on the idea. Looks like I'll have to rework this. I'm falling into the SVCC Telecourse "trap" at this moment. Give me a good couple of days with Shootout stuff, and I'll be back to form on studying.

As always, I'm looking for good story ideas for Northern Illinois Sports Beat. I'm taking a break from writing game articles for a while - so anything will do.

Then, I've got to get some finances in order - and hopefully I'll be out of the red and into the black soon.

It's been quite a while since I last posted on here, but that's because I've been busy over the holidays: working, writing, seeing games, having fun with the new presents, sleeping, and thinking. I covered the Warkins Cardinal Classic at Erie, a Byron-Oregon girls game, and the Rock Falls Shootout since I last posted.

I get to test out the new work schedule tonight. I work tonight, and I'm off tomorrow.

Speaking of tomorrow, I had some plans wrecked. I was going to go down to Chillicothe and take pics and write a feature on the new gym at IVC, then hurry and make it to St. Bede where there is a girls game with Prophetstown. However, I found out today that my Sociology telecourse orientation is tomorrow evening. Crap!

Being sidelined isn't new to me. I'd like to get more done for the site. Announcement on that shortly, on NISB.
