I may have finally lost my mind

I’ve been teetering for years on the possibility that one day I might lose my mind.

While it may not be of a surprise to anybody who knows me, I think that day has finally taken place.

When I made the decision to purchase a paper, I knew it would be a difficult task. And it has been.

I’ve been fine with all of the news stuff, but the business part of things has been a lot to learn. There has been billing, postal regulations, picking up the paper from the printer and delivering it and a multitude of other things.

I’m glad I have short hair because if I didn’t, I would have pulled it all out. I shaved my head once in college. It’s not a good look so I would have scared the residents of my new town. I’ve probably already scared them enough with my crazy columns which have found their way into the paper.

With all of my tasks there, I have also been finishing up my work at the Green River Star. I’ve always had a rough time with organization as hard as I try not to. The two jobs I have are really what started to make me lose my mind.

Half the time I don’t know what or who I’m writing about and what paper it’s going into. Every picture I took in Montana was labeled as a Star picture and I’m sure I wasn’t able to fix all those mistakes.

I’m sure I probably even ran a Star story by accident in the paper, but my eyes have stared so much into a computer that I can’t focus enough to read a paper.

I’ve also been stuck in a hotel room with the infamous Peaches who has been waking me up every morning at 4 a.m. to voice his displeasure about his new surroundings.

I was able to get a beautiful house last week, but now its trying to figure out how to get everything from Wyoming up to Montana, while still trying to take care of my jobs.

I’m in Wyoming for a few days, and if you happened to see me, I apologize if I was out of it.

It’s just the new Jack. Crazy. One hundred percent crazy. But as they say, “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.”

Things will start to settle down and perhaps I will regain my mind a little bit. At least I hope so.
