It seems that just about everyone at work is in full Euro 2008 mode. So many conversations that are floating around right now surround matches that were, or are coming up soon. On my team there’s a Turkish guy, and he’s particularly interested in this afternoon’s match–and with good reason, of course.

All of this just makes me think of how this is such a tough time for someone how isn’t quite so sports minded such as myself. I’m unable to join in on these conversations. In fact, listening in I’m quite paralyzed because I just have no idea how to comment one way or another. It’s kind of sad, however, I don’t really think I’m going to take up a new interest just for the sake of some minor socialization, right? It’s not in my personality type–I’m quite fixed! I’ll be content enough to keep quiet and bide my time until the tourney is over. Still…damn it all!

Umm…go Turkey?
