is only available at work. Until now! We just got wifi at work, so hopefully I will be able to put up a photo
or two soon.
Meanwhile, I love this job. Is it insane every waking moment? Sure. I have never worked so fast in my life,
but damn is it a roller coaster ride. We have been doing a test run of the show this week to work out whatever
bugs may arise when we start the show for real next week. This means that we had to put together a two hour
show, top to bottom in two days. We had to finish by six tonight.
I can't say it wasn't rough. Still, my favorite moment was when I was trying to finish a package and it started
to rain. It rains at about 3PM every day here. But unlike most days, where we have a heavy downpour, this
rain was the craziest storm I have every been in. 13 or 14 bolts of lighting followed by immediate thunder.
Again and again and again. Torrential downpour the likes of which I have never seen. This knocked out the electricity. Thankfully, we are on some sort of alternative power source. But our ac, lights, etc. were not. So there I was, trying to finish a package in a bay illuminated by only a monitor while sweating buckets, the audio
barely audible because of the noise of the rain pinging off the roof. It was amazing. I haven't stopped smiling
since.
I just set my TiVo to watch the show. I'm enjoying reading of your adventures! Watch out for snakes!

i love john lehr! and "10 items or less!"
Now you know how editors in the 19th century felt! Only they had to endure burns from the Avid steam as well!
ReplyDeleteGlad you are having fun, buddy. Hope your bay stays snake-free.
