And the beat goes on... I am in work today as the final move out for the Assemblies of God is going on across the street. We are scheduled until 6pm but hopefully they will be done before that...it has been a killer week and my boss is on vacation so the reighns have fallen to me. I must say that the event has gone pretty smoothly with no major incidents... (there are always some minor complaints but that's business as usual). No thefts, no lost children, some minor medical issues (including one of my dock guards getting hit by a pickup), but nothing major. My dock guard was bumped in the hip as a pickup was backing into a space to unload. Minor bruise is all that was suffered, but it sounded scary on the radio when someone reports that a guard was hit by a vehicle on the loading dock... This event was swarming with people all over the place from start to finish. There were thousands of children here participating in youth activities and prayer councils and services and performances throughout the event at varying times and places so it seemed very confusing and crowded at times, but our staff performed well. The only thing left is for the decorator to pack up the ticket booths and carpeting and pipe and drape and head out of town.
And then tomorrow a new convention is moving in followed on Monday by another. But after this week, the schedule slows down and I have a week off and I am planning a trip either to Albuquerque or into Utah to satisfy my golf bucket list... (one round of golf in all 50 states). I may also do a Staycation in Arizona and explore the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. Or I may sleep at the pool and catch up on some much needed sleep here in Tempe. More to follow as the week evolves. It a light week compared to this summer of blockbuster conventions and I'm not working 15 hours days every day... (not every day but a couple). I am scheduled through next Saturday and then nothing (so they say) until I leave for NYC on August 24... (can't wait---there's an everything bagel with lox and cream cheese waiting for me there. And pizza, and restaurants that don't close at 10pm, and all night Dunkin' Donuts!!). So a little R&R and then the Big Apple.
A great big welcome to Charlotte Anna Sloca (not sure of the spelling), Cousin Beck's new daughter and hopefully a one day reader of the adventures of her friend (I have no idea---2nd cousin?) Jim. Makes for interesting bedtime stories, don't you think? (especially since she can't understand what I'm writing about--I'm having a little trouble doing that myself). So welcome, Charley (again the spelling is correct I hope) and I hope to be able to come out and see you in the near future... and of course all the best wishes to her Mom and BIG sister Grace. I know she will have plenty of love in that household.
