Postcard from the Edge, #1

From our remote location in funny, sunny, Cincinatti (MOTTO: our bums don't have an accent)

If:

  • You get up at 7:30 am, having stayed up till 1 am
  • Are hungover because people kept giving you booze because you're funny
  • Hang out for two hours waiting for the computer guy to show up
  • Don't remember the computer guy's phone # because it's locked in a case with the voting machine
  • You can't open the box because the key is in Virginia, and you're in Cincinatti
  • Stare bleary-eyed at a little old lady that just wandered into the staff office while she talks to you for twenty minutes about nothing
  • Bust your rear get everything set up in a certain room because the people there must have the room ready by a certain time
  • Wait two hours after that time for them to actually show up
  • Put out three fires and deal with two blind, wild-eyed panics in an hour and a half
  • Listen on the radio while your buddies try desperately to convince themselves they didn't throw whole boxes of important stuff away
  • Tell no fewer than six people "no, registration is tomorrow... TOMMOROW... TO.. MOR.. OW.."
  • Watch someone receive an e-mail that is a scanned piece of handwritten paper for a bio to be printed in a program
  • Listen to a mother and son natter at each other over a public radio band
Then you must be at convention!!!

I'll have a much more detailed post later, but this should give you an idea. And my job's easy. You should see what Dana and Connie have to put up with...

I WOULD SUGGEST YOU CALL YOUR WIFE AS SOON AS YOU READ THIS. IF NOT AT LEAST EMAIL HER WHEN YOU WILL BE IN YOUR ROOM SO THAT SHE CAN CALL YOU. CAUSE I AM TOO OLD TO HAVE A ROOMMATE. LOL
