When you are a loser

Am I a loser? I guess that is debatable depending on who you are.

I know I am not one so you don't need to worry about my self esteem now!

I've never worked for a losing team until now. It's quite different that say reporting on the UConn Women's Basketball team or UConn Women's Soccer.

The team I am working for has gone 1-5-4 this season and is tied for last place. I can't tell you how much it sucks to work for a team that doesn't win. It sucks the energy out of you at work. It's so much harder to work when you are losing. I just can't explain to you how meaningless everything seems when the team you are working for is losing. It's so much more difficult to sell tickets when you can't say that the home team is going to win. It's so much harder to just wear your teams logo when they don't win. You almost want to hide the fact that you work for your team when they lose.

I always knew what it was like to win and it makes everything so easy and actually boring. Then when you lose everything seems meaningless. So be good, but not too good. Well be too good. That comes with perks too.
