Hotels, earplugs and a freezing gantry

Sometimes I dread meeting people for the first time and having that inevitable "what do you do for a living?" conversation.
Compared to nurses, firemen and teachers, the job of football commentator sounds pretty dumb. Hardly a proper occupation for a grown-up, I think you'll agree.
Generally, just as I am struggling to convey how tough it is being sent to watch football every weekend, I get asked what I do during the week or during the summer.
Given the answer is "more football", I then have to give up and admit that it is pretty much a dream job.
