Addict

Hello. My nickname is skitch, and I'm a workaholic.

So I officially started my new job a month ago and I got assigned to the 1-11pm swing shift. I had put in my notice with my previous employer, but they've had trouble getting a replacement for me, so they've been happy to have me come in a few hours in the morning to do my 'thang. So now I work from 8a-12p at the old job, then pick up lunch and eat in the car during the 30+ minute commute to the new job.

Yea, I guess I'm pretty addicted to work. Or maybe it's the double paycheck every other week that's the enabler. Whatever the case, my replacement doesn't start for another 2 weeks, and there'll be some training and transition time needed, so it looks like I can milk the old job for another month at least.

Somehow, I've been able to squeeze in some time for another addiction, and played the 300 raked hands needed to clear the free money Party dumped into my account. I'll sign up for the occasional WSOP freeroll on Party and Full Tilt, but I just don't seem to have the mental or physical endurance to last them out right now.

So the cards are on the backburner for now, though they provide a nice distraction every now and then. In the meantime, I have to focus on my other current obsessions: Quizno's Prime Rib sandwiches and Jack-in-the-Box's Orange Cream milkshake. Oh yeah, and getting myself on the fast-track of climbing my new corporate ladder!

Anyone know where I can find a sponsor?
