Random things

Thursday was a blah day. Something happened at work and had me thinking about it all day. The outcome was correct but if I did the leg work before, I wouldn't have been in the position I was. That will teach me to do work stuff in advance and not the last second.

Later this after afternoon, I will get driving my car 85 miles one way to photograph a wrestling quarterfinal match. I'm not a big fan of wrestling, so I wanted to give the assignment to someone else. No one else could do it, so I had to take one for the team and do it myself. I'm hoping it goes by quick.

A couple of years ago, I had to photograph two quarterfinal wrestling matches in one day. One match was the first of the afternoon and the other was the last of the night. Since there was a big time gap, I spent my time in the arena talking to the reporter and reading a book. After my first match was over, I went to the media area to grab some lunch. I was surprised at what was being served. It was mostly lunch meat. Normally that isn't a big deal because I like lunch meat, but it was a Friday during Lent. On Fridays during Lent, I abstain from eating meat. The only choices I had was a very small bowl of salad, orange slices and cookies. Not exactly a filling meal, at least for me. When I stop in the media area this afternoon, I hope they have more meatless choices then in years past.
