When you find your niche

While beating my head against the desk from staring at my monitor for several hours ( I've found it's actually a great way to relieve headaches quickly. Although it probably leaves some sort of brain damage. ) I began to think about how I like to kick myself in the teeth and volunteer stupidly for things I know are going to be a real job. I am of course referring to going through all of the votes for the Drunk Duck Awards you lovely people have sent in ( The fact that I'm sitting here doing this for so long is actually a good thing really. It means you're all doing your part and I appreciate that. ). The response we've gotten for the awards so far has been great, and I'm hoping that it will only grow more as the week goes on. I'm almost expecting to be drowning in a veritable sea of emails by the time the votes close on the 10th. But most of all, I'm really happy to see the community here coming out of the woodwork and taking part ( And I now have a working list of those of you who aren't getting holiday cards and candy if I don't see your screen names attached to a vote ballot.). So, even though it's normally supposed to be my thing to torment the rest of the world, it looks like payback has finally come my way. But don't worry, I'll get you all back for it. Even if I have to become friends with the new guy to do it.

( In all seriousness though, I'm quite happy to be tortured this way. I hope you guys will continue to throw your weight and support behind us for the future so we can make the awards even more successful.)
