Remember when I told you I was about to start a 10 day in a row workathon? Well,that has been stretched to 14 days. My next day completely off is November 18 but the good news is that I won't be pulling any 16-17 hour shifts at the Nascar event this time. The schedule has me working 6am to 2pm on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday (5am) and Sunday with the football game on Saturday. The only problem will be Saturday night because I have to wait until the team leaves and I'm scheduled til 11pm with a 6am call the next morning... oh well. Then I'm back in Convention Center working 50 hours in 4 days... Piece of cake.
Friday night I was at the Orpheum Theater providing security for the Creflo Dollar Ministries... He is an evangelist like the ones you see on television with a very, very enthusiastic crowd... (the place was so packed they put seats on stage for overflow). I must admit that his message was well thought out and hit home quite a few times... (no I did not sign up to be a "partner" or testify in the aisle). But the message was clear and I am going to try to find a service and/or church that I can regularly attend when I not working on Sundays... (which is hard to do lately because Sundays are "security" days). But it's definitely worth a try. I enjoyed the services I attended in Virginia (and no the church didn't fall down).
Saturday and Sunday I was working a convention that brother-in-law Craig would really have enjoyed... it was a Tim the Toolman Taylor convention. DeWalt, Milwaukee, Bosch and every tooler there is had displays and tools and industrial gadgets galore... A real MAN'S convention. I saw a display for concrete vibrators and I HAD to ask the guys if those were for female weightlifters (heehee). They actually got the joke and then I found out they were from back East... (the people out West sometimes do not understand my "unique perspective"). But some of the tools were quite impressive. On Monday I was a personal escort for Sarah Palin (yes, that Sarah Palin, former Vice Presidential candidate) as she was the keynote speaker for the convention. Her speech began with her knowledge of tools and such in Alaska but then got down to the "victory" of the GOP and how bad Obama and the Dems were ruining the country. She wants a repeal of Obama-care and an end to all his programs. But she was quite interesting and very polite and she thanked me for my "service". I may not agree with some of her views but I admire her work schedule and efforts to repair the party... (even though I hate the party system--the only party should be the best for America party). But enough political talk...
I have to go now... I have a 3:30-10pm schedule today and have to be in Avondale tomorrow at 5:30am. Ciao for now...
