Well, it looked like I had a chance to win last weekend. Heck, it looked like Last Year’s Winners and I were going to duke it out for a win. But then the late caution came and ruined everything. Good on ya, RCR, you finally got a win—at the expense of my pick!
I tell ya, you can’t rely on anything lately. Like my “staycation” that I announced last time—postponed indefinitely. One of the other assistant managers decided that Friday evening was a great time to up and quit on us, so I decided to cancel taking the week off (thankfully with the help of some bonus pay). Sure, I wouldn’t have been able to go anywhere, but I really was looking forward to dozens of hours of staring at the wall in my townhouse.
