MySpace "Where's my mojo?!?" - Monday, January 09, 2006, 18:12

Here's a little secret / annoyance of mine. When I'm working, there usually is a trash can in my designated cube or office. This only happens when I'm on the road, where I always go to different client sites throughout the country. It isn't a habit at my home office, since I have a nice lidded trash at home, which isn't applicable.

Anyway, the bad habit I have at work is that whenever I have something to throw in the trash, I like to stay seated and "shoot" whatever it is into the rubbish bin. I even do this when I'm walking around and try to shoot at someone else's trash in their cubicle faraway, if it is within sight. I have to admit though, that I have accidentally thrown a rolled up, used paper towel at someone, because they came around the corner. More as in the guy blocked my shot. Anyway, why is it thata I do this? I used to play varsity basketball in high school and intramurals in college.

Back to the point of the subject. Today, I have missed just about everything I have thrown into the waste basket! That's roughly a dozen missed shots!!! And the saddest part of it all? It's a freaking small office and the basket is no more than five feet away! What is up with that? I used to be able to shoot backwards over my head without looking and make it. Where did my mojo go?!?

I don't ever drink coffee, but I had to today because I was falling asleep after lunch! Yup, there goes my pearly whites. But I doubt it has anything to do with my missed shots though... Good thing I am not a professional basketball player. =) Okay, back to work...
