The Perfect Assignment

[gdc25]

You ever get an assignment that you swear you should be paying "them" for the pleasure of working?

This is my second season of working for a slow pitch league for a local corporation. It's a employee's, and family, only recreational league and there is a unwritten no-complaining rule. (they just play the game).

The best part is... the league is played at the companies rec center which just happens to be in a conservation area that has 3 very well maintained fields, a lake and a woods.

There are 3 of us that work the league and we have a little competition among ourselves, that the first person there gets choice of diamond. The "choice" diamond has a view of the lake and the woods.

And the best part is our favorite spectator. At about 6pm a Bald Eagle perches high on a power pole and watches. Actually he/she/it is watching the lake and if you're on the "choice" diamond every once in a while you get to see the eagle grab a fish out of the lake.

It's like going on a short vacation twice a week.
