I Was Terrible...

I suggest that instead of just flagellating yourself, you use this as a "learning opportunity". Think your way back through the games and write down (or at least note in your mind) two or three things that you had questions about, or you feel you didn't handle correctly. Then contact your assignor and ask the questions, and discuss the sitches to see what you should have done, or how to avoid the problems. This way, you can feel that the game was worth the time since you got something out of the game other than a paycheck.

I agree. I cant even think about pronouncing the word much less begin to know the defenition. It sounds pretty riskay to me.

That is what I have been coming up with today. I have been making some mental notes in my mind about what I can talk to my evaluator about from the game last night and hopefully learn from my game last night.

Thanks to everyone.
