PGX (please go extort {someone else!})
Ha ha.... ok, that wasn't a Gooooood way of fiddling with the name, but its been a long weekend leave me alone! :P OK! lets start with friday,
Day1
my first day of working at the PGX. I arrive at 3:15 (15 mins later than i would've liked, to be discussed in the next blog i post!) to Verne getting anxious with me b/c he swweeeeeeaaaaaarrrrrrssssss up and down that he told me to be there at 1, however; that would've required him CONTACTING me to tell me to come at 1, which i can assure you, he did not do. So w/e, fuck him very much he left me alone. *WHAM* a slam of ppl rush in to post enter, pick up pkgs, etc etc, and suddenly i realized.... I FORGET HOW TO USE THE GOD DAMNED PROGRAM! but i remember enough to get by with the rush of ppl, i hand them all their new numbers, get them to sign liability waivers, all is wonderfull.... UNTILL one demonic little girl comes in and says "i forgot to get my number..." she did WHAT?! ok.... not a biggie, right? wrong, this little girl with her absent mindedness... managed to throw off nearly 10 ppls #'s compared to the computer system!!! AAAHHHHHH!!!!!! so i smile, give her a new number, and then panic city. Call Kim, she comes, tells me what to do (Sooooo simple to fix... takes AGES, but simple) I look up from my computer screen to glance at the time.... and tis 7:30!!! *phew* at least time is passing w/o my direction, go home pass out!
Day 2
Woo hoo!! get up early, leave my best friend whom i'm stayin wtih for the weekend a note for when she gets up (aren't i a nice friend) i stop at Timmy's to get some green tea and a bagel, then off to the fair we go. Go to my office and brace myself for the impending "rush" 3 hours later, the rush never actually came. w/e, not a biggie. So i've started catching up on highpoint (Verne didn't bring me a rule book the day before, so now i'm a day behind), and in order to do this... i need to print stuff out. So i open the exhibitor list, and hit print... then all hell breaks loose. THe printer starts swearing at me... you konw, cartoon comic book swearing... but only ONE line of it per page and it does this on MANY pages... so i just keep throwing the same pages back at it (which prolly only enrages it further) and then VERNE walks in.... YYYAAAYYYY!!! his solution is to grab a HUGE stack of clean fresh virgn pure white paper... and shoves it in the printer, praise the lord it doesn't jam, however we're now ruining HALF A PACKAGE OF PAPER... and can i just take it out nnnnoooooo.... he stands ther watching it! finally (when MOST of the paper has gone through) he turns his back {I valiantly rescue the paper and start refeeding it profanity paper} he grabs his cell phone and phones TWO PGX officials to inform them i've fucked the computer.... fortunatly one was Kim, my cool computer lady who knows Verne is a horses ass... *sigh* Also at one point today, a lady left her camera in the stands... someone valiantly (i like that word) picks it up and turns it in to my dungeon, *cough* i mean office. So i humbly wait for someone to retrieve it, even stay late during my lunch break and plan to return early... however the fuck face manages to come on the short period i was away from my prison, discovers the door locked, and goes to the PGX office to bitch about me taking a god damned lunch break! w/e, john the arena keeper went in for her and got it.... grrrr... went home and devoured Pizza with Mel Cole and Nic! (thanks Cole for the CC and SC)
Day 3
Last day... duhn duhn duhhhnn..... (that was dramatic music for the unimaginative) And i am awoken at 5:00am before wonderful Mel goes to work.... apparently she suspected i was dying or somthin, i was thrashing around and breathing funny... so she valiantly (hee hee) comes to check on me... however i was fine, went back to sleep, woke up at 7.... shit, i'm supposed to BE there at 7... get up get dressed grabbed cowboy hat jumped in car and SKIPPED the timmys' run. I walk in to see what appears to be a class going on (wtf?) w/e, go upstairs, Verne kinda chuckles at me, i sit down at the computer, oh its actually after 8, i just can't tell time (FUCK FUCK FUCK!) and then.... Verne doesn't lecture me... was nice to me..... and the rest of the day went off w/o a hitch?!?! how the hell does that happen?!!? Verne said nice things about me to other ppl, and at the end i got a VERY special volunteer (which i WASN"T i was paid upfront) award from Horse Council for the person at the show who put the most effort forward to make the show somthin special! I also got to award one of the highpoints i took so much time to tabulate.... so that was my PGX Light Horse show office experience... and now this SUPER SECRETARY needs sleep! *dramatic bow*
