Working Weekend
I’ve been way to busy to put up anything new lately. In fact, last night was the first night in 12 days that I slept in my own (more importantly, new) bed. That’s because my days have been split between Memphis, Batesville and Heber Springs, working massive overtime at Life Plus University.
It was interesting to be behind the scenes and see everything that goes into putting on a conference and taking care of 40 German people, many of which spoke little English. A few behind the scenes tidbits that I was included in were: being one of the few people to know that the houseboat lost both engines and we were temporarily stranded in the middle of the lake; standing on top of said houseboat during a rainstorm helping to cover thousands of dollars worth of karaoke equipment with trash bags; searching the office for the preferred large coffee straws and Splenda; helping to organize the Life Plus Olympics (series of team building games) and tallying the scores; making a last minute trip to McDonalds to order 35 double cheeseburgers, dumping them into a plastic tub and later disposing of the uneaten ones; and my favorite--signing my name to a not-quite, but almost 400 dollar lunch bill on the company credit card.
It was hard, exhausting work, but a lot of fun. I was so worn out that when I had the day off yesterday to recuperate, I slept through most of it and was still able to sleep fairly soundly through the night.

Did you have a fast food relapse after order 35 burgers? I trust you did not.

They smelled damn good, but I did not partake.
