Our Off Season
Wednesday, May 14, 2008
The time has officially come I’m sorry to say. Time to hang up the boots, take a break and a well earned rest after what has been a hectic 9 month campaign. (Don’t you love the photo from week 1?) I feel like I’ve got nothing left to give. Emotionally, physically and mentally I’m spent. It’s not about the writing, I love the writing, you all know that. It’s what happens in between the writing that makes it tough. The thoughts…(pause)…, the mental training and everything that…(pause)…goes along with it. If it weren’t for the pre-season I could certainly see myself going around again…….

Life Goes On

G’day, long time no speak! I must apologise for the lack of update last week. I wasn’t feeling great Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday and by Thursday and Friday I was in Melbourne again working hard as always. I just wanted to say a quick hello before i go to bed. My grand plan was to update tonight (it’s Monday 1145pm here, 845am there) but my eyes have got the better of me. After a few late nights last week and some more working from home this evening i know it’s not even worth attempting to write for the next hour. Come back same time tomorrow to see what has been happening over the last 2 weeks.....and our impending off season.
Hoping you’re all well.

Draft Day
Tuesday, April 29, 2008
“In a trade from the Green Bay Packers, the New York Jets select...........”
“What do you mean, in a trade” I yelled at the TV holding my yet to be dried coffee cup in one hand and the towel that was set to do all of the hard work in the other.
“No trade, why trade, what the heck are we trading for?” I couldn’t stop moaning. I had waited all morning for this. Waited through the 8 inane minutes it took each team to select their player after the team before them was done. I had waited for the scroll across the bottom of the screen to tell me the key loss and key gain of the Packers over the off-season. I was even waiting for the Packers logo to show amongst the next five teams to pick along the left hand vertical of the screen.

Hi-ho, Hi-ho…

As mentioned in my very brief update last week, I am once again a proud member of the Australian workforce. And not too soon I might add. I started to think about the last time I pulled my suit on for a day at the office and after a quick check I can reveal it was Friday the 6th July 2007. That’s just over 9 months, or, to be more precise, 281 days without a pay check.

Next Week
Tuesday, April 15, 2008
G’day All,
It’s official, I am no longer a full time Packer Backer. Yes, as was always going to be the case I was back at work yesterday and so far it’s just peachy. I can’t update fully right now as I’m in Melbourne on orientation and without Internet access. I wanted to at least let you know what i was up to though. (I’ve stayed back in the office to do this short update.)
I’ll update the site over the weekend when things aren’t so crazy and give you all the goss on what I’m sure will be one heck of a week.
Hooroo!
