Jinxie's Ravings

Bitchy, witchy, mama to the bone. Broken roller derby queen. I live in my head and on my porch.

Can't sleep, roller girls will eat me...

Today is the day of the big tournament. I was somehow entrusted with a position of responsibility in this extravaganza and it has turned out better than expected. Well, it hasn’t started yet. So…i guess it hasn’t turned out at all yet but I guess what I am saying is that I am ready. I am ‘league wrangling’ which means that I am responsible for making a sure a team is happy, has their paperwork filled out and gets where they need to be. This started out as a one day job but as we looked into the logistics of it the job description expanded and it has ended up being huge. This is awesome. For one, it allows me to geek out on my particular geeks which are seeing how far ahead I can think to anticipate other peoples actions/needs. I don’t really know of another way to describe that. I would be a stellar assistant to a movie star even though I am incapaple of organizing my own life. So I geeked out preparing packets, developing a system to track forms and making eveything not only efficient but aesthetically pleasing. Oh, the site of all those perfectly organized and coordinated folders gives me ladywood. ANother awesome thing about this is that my bestest friend in the world Jane and I are working together on this- we are in charge of all 10  wranglers-and damn we make such a good team. Seriously, we have it down. We have been inseparable for more than 2 years now so I guess we just know each other well enough that we just automatically take up each others slack. And we have this great good cop/bad cop thing going for management style. Best of all when I had to be bad cop for a minute, she totally backed me up. I don’t know that I have ever had a friend that actually backed me up when I stuck my neck out. Anyway, it’s 5 am and my efforts are about to come to fruition. YAY.
