Losing is for losers.


I am a bad loser. The company I work for threw a summer party at an amusement park this weekend. It was really fun. After lunch we had a big raffle with lots of cool prizes. I didn't win any prizes, and I hate everyone who did! Just kidding.... mostly. I don't like losing :-(

Despite the fact that I hate losing, I still love competition. When people say they want to play a game but "not keep score" I want to punch them in the face! If we're not going to keep score then what is the point of playing?? How do we know when the game is over?? How do we know who wins?? I don't want to play with people who aren't keeping score, they're no fun. 

Of course, I don't expect to win every time, but I am sure as hell going to try! And you can expect that unless we are competing at something for which I am at an obvious disadvantage (golf, tennis, etc.), I expect to win. If I don't win, I am going to be upset for a while. I'll get over it, but I am going to hate you just a little bit for just a little while.

If that makes me a jerk - so be it!
