a good week

So, a lot has been going on.

I finally found a replacement for myself that my boss liked and she started on Monday. We did two days of "Take My Job, Please" boot camp and now I'm officially in my new position -- Associate Producer.

I played in the Blogger Tournament on PokerStars on Sunday and was really happy with my performance. Out of 1470-something entrants, I finished 25th. That means I'm getting an iPod Nano, which is pretty awesome. Other than a ridiculous suck-out early in the tournament (my KK cracked some poor guy's AA, all-in before the flop), I didn't have to rely on luck too much. My pre-flop hand selection was really good and just about the only all-in I called where I wasn't ahead was the very last one where my AK never improved against TT. Before I called the all-in reraise, my entire thought process was "I know I'm in a coin flip, but I've got a Nano already, so...."

All in all, a good week.
