Another day where I am up and functioning before people at home have even gone to bed. I can prove it - Yep. Six of them in chat on facebook right now. There were 8 a few minutes ago, but some of them went to bed. I will be getting home when many of them are just waking up. By then I will have been traveling for 8 plus hours. Serious FML. I am more pissed off about having to go to a rehearsal tomorrow at 3 in the afternoon. I do not understand why anyone thinks having a prop rehearsal on a lawn is valid for the real deal. It's fucking useless. None of the marks will matter, nothing will be the same, etc. Waste of goddamn time. Especially on a Saturday at 3pm. My whole fucking day tomorrow is shot to hell.
Final day of training yesterday. Class went well. I think that everything went smooth. I was super professional and responsible. Made everyone feel good about themselves and what they accomplished in three days. I gave them an assignment when they arrived which I did in 20 minutes yesterday morning from the hotel. I gave them two hours. 90% of the class was able to finish. But during that time the whole class was stressing. At the end of the two hours I told them to get some perspective. Look at what they had done in two hours where as three days ago they had never heard of the tool. I could see the looks on their faces change when they realized how far they HAD come in three days and once they started focusing on what they had achieved they were all beaming. Those are the moments I do for which I do this job. Those moments when the light dawns. Not only do they get satisfaction, but I am pretty happy too.
Got back to the hotel around 4:30, packed, showered, ate leftover sandwiches from lunch, went to bed. Yep. I went to bed around 7pm CDT. Why? Because I was up at 2:30. I didn't sleep straight or smoothly of course. But because I went to bed at 7, all night my phone was blipping and booping from people still in PDT. Sorry not here right now.
And now I travel.
