Pretty much. Sorry your volunteer coach who is spending hours and hours per week with your kid is inconveniencing you for 20 minutes one time.

Well, to be fair, because this is a "travel" team, this coach gets paid to do this. I think he makes a living coaching two teams. We spend a crap load of money on this soccer team.

I don't ask for much. Just tell me what time practice ends, and I will go pick up my kid from practice.

That being said, it sounds like the masses have spoken.

Can your kid get home on his own? Who drops him off?

We have a complicated deal worked out with a couple other families. Three practices a week, each family covers a day for all three kids (plus a couple "scholorship" kids whose parents don't have cars). Practice is at the middle school about 5 miles away (so no walking). On Mondays, wife drops the kids off, and I pick them up.

It's not really a huge deal. It's just that I planned to do a couple of things based on the 8:00 time that was sent around a couple of weeks ago, and I'm a little grumpy. But the coach is only doing this because he wants to maximize his time working with the kids, which means it is coming from a good place, not a selfish place. So I should really not complain.

Oof, what a day. As I posted here, a couple of weeks ago my MIL passed away, so it was a whirlwind of cross country driving to Ohio and back, consoling my wife and her sister (who is interesting from a mental perspective) and helping them deal with their step-father who is 90yrs old, and likes to pretend that he's not all there, so he wouldn't have to help make any of the decisions.

Yesterday I got a call that my dad went into cardiac arrest and may be brain dead, because even tho they restarted his heart fairly quickly, he's completely nonresponsive. He's in cardiac ICU on a ventilator, and they can't explain why he hasn't woken up.

In addition to that, I am actively job searching, so today has bounced from talking to the ICU nurse, to a very positive phone interview with the president of our largest competitor for a much better position than the one I have, to speaking with the case manager about who makes end-of-life decisions for my dad, and trying to figure out when I need to drop everything and head down to Florida.

I feel like a yo-yo.

Meeting with my ex-BIL today to try and broker a settlement between him and my sister. They need to move on with their lives and finalize their divorce. They DO NOT need to take their divorce to court and fight over everything.

This shall not be fun.

Holding my first practice today for soccer. Told the parents we would finish sometime between 6:29 and 6:31pm.
Click to expand...
oof - good luck with that brother. What age group? I am currently coachin a group if U7 kids. The only reason i agreed to do this was because my youngest son is on the team. I got the roster and I have twice as many kids on the team as any other coach. They play 5v5. I have 11 kids and other coaches have like 8. Getting the minimum playing time for the kids is a pain in the #### and a major hassle. I also got the bad news bears of soccer teams. Seriously have a kid who when I look at him to talk he looks back at me completely blank. I mean nothing there in the eyes. I want to seriously stick an ice pick in my eye. We have practice tonight. I am not looking forward to it.

This is my last year of rec soccer. Putting the kid on a club team next year.

Not a fan... just reiterating what Mrs Sweet J told him to do.

That time sounds like a good chance to catch up on the internet. Especially since he can't look at porn at home.

That reminds me: they just delivered an I-pad to me for work. I haven't the foggiest idea of what I am supposed to do with this machine that my blackberry and laptop can't accomplish. But I'm pretty sure I shouldn't look at porn. Right?

I had a friend with a Samsung who googled some pron the night before a conference.

next day at the conference he fired it up and went to a google search of one of the speakers.

the search splash page has his last four searches with pics of each.

Just how would one remove these hairy creampie hippy mature items from his default search page?

In Chrome, upper right corner, click on the 3 lines and click "history", then clear history "from the beginning of time"

Little things are ticking me off today. Got this email from the manager of my son's soccer team:

This is a reminder that practice on Mondays will be at [Middle School] from now on at 6:30pm until 8pm. We are still dealing with daylight and tomorrow, the sun will go down at 7:32, so please be aware that we might not go until 8pm yet.
Click to expand...
This makes no sense. Either practice goes until 8:00 or it doesn't. I don't want to drive 20 minutes across town to pick up my kid at 7:30 and then wait until the coach decides he's done and will have the kids go home (7:45, 7:50, or 8:00, or whenever). Just give me a #######ed time to show up and I'll show up. So I sent this email:
Hey, Alison,If practice goes from 6:30 until 8:00, I think the plan is to pick up my group of kids (Will, Sander, Nick) at 8:00. Hope that isn't a problem.
Click to expand...
And she wrote back: You'll need to check with Grigor because I don't think practice will go that late without lights. So why the F### don't they just say "practice ends at 7:30." How effing hard is that? So I write to my wife: I don't want to be too much of a pain in the ###, but if the coach schedules practice to end at 8:00, I don't want to show up at 7:30 because he "might" get done early. I don't see a problem with showing up at 8:00. And she writes back: It will be dark at 7:30 apparently so I'm not sure why they don't just start practice at 6pm tonight. Just plan to get there at 7:30 and cool your heels if needed. Has the whole world gone crazy? I just wrote to my wife: That's stupid. They either need to have practice end at 7:30, or [coach] can wait with my kid until I show up at 8:00. Am I wrong here?

Cool your heels.
 
Kill me now. My 3rd grader has some architectural tour of Chicago field trip sometime in May. They were supposed to pick out a building and then recreate it. Well apparently they picked today. We now have a family project, nice cop out school, to build a Baha'i house of worship. :mellow:
