I'll see your nerd...and raise his hum drum...

wcs has shared his 'nerdy' pastime whilst Andrew has come out of the closet about his love for the 'hum drum'.

Well, I have my own nerdy and hum drum hobby. I maintain speadsheets of football attendances. All year round I record attendances for England's Premier League and Australia's AFL, NRL and A-league. I can't recall why I started this hobby but I have been doing this now for about ten years.
Week by week.
Club by club.
Season by season.

I can't explain it but the hobby gives me pleasure.

  1. Spread sheets are like porn to me. I use them for cataloging my comic book collection, movie inventory and CDs, as well as my party invites and bowling scores and days until vacation. WOOHOO! I'll track anything...love this stuff!
