Explanation at Hand,

Okay, I'm with tech services obviously. Guess what requires tech work? THE 2005 SUMMER GAMES! And for who? THE SPECIAL OLYMPICS!!!!!! UHHHH YAHHHH DUHHH!!!! With 5000 meter runs, 4 lap relays, and 300 meter walks. Oh yeah, three days of that will definitely give you a change of heart on the special olympics. Then you realize that some of them are from where your mother works and you remember who they are. And you root for a sniper to go on safari. 12 hours every day, outside, setting and running P.A. systems and other assorted tech. Sun burnt? O-o-o-o-o-oh yeah. Okay, not 12 hours every day. One day it was 11 hours.

However though, nothing against the sports, I just dislike the people who run them. It's been 5 years since they had the games here at Towson. It was because they were dipleased with us. So they tried again now that we've had up grades. Opening ceremonies, the girl who created the current Special Olympics title song sang before the fireworks. The people who run the events though are the only ones that I see who are retarded. They start everything late and have no concept of time. So they have some windbags give some speeches that aren't very important, just a 10 minute version of "This is important to everyone." So the girl begins to sing graciously, and they tell our crew chief, who is running sound, to cut her off because of time. He ignores them and acts as though he can't he them. That's not the problem. They walk over and tell him to his face to cut her off, and he has to do so, without a graceful fade, just straight mute. Then they complain and hate us because we cut her off 45 seconds before she was done. I don't know if it got straightend afterwards, but imagine an entire 3-day weekend of this. Se la vive. (or however it's spelled, i only took 2 years of french)

So in order to relax from this, I watch small people comedy, like where the link will take you. That's right, expect a link for each entry I post. Just because I get sick of e-mailing them sometimes. So, for a two week period of time, I will have worked 95 hours. And 22 days straight without a day off. I'm a little buffer, a little crazier and I really miss the Yankee right about now. Anyway, it's been fun and I'm glad it's over. I did though get to drive around the campus on a gator (four wheel terrain and work vehicles--- it's like a mix of a four wheeler, a golf cart, a john deer tractor, and military jeep) so we could transport equipment and go from one place to another without traffic (we could drive 25mph on sidewalks, 35 when we hot rod the throttle, I'll explain later)) and without using our cars (if we have them). Anyway, enough for today. Enjoy short man humor.
