The DNC brought the busiest day that Invesco Field has probably ever had. What a day. It was a day that I won't soon forget. I wish I would have been able to watch more of the event, but I had a job to do. Today was no different.
After my "playing hooky" the yesterday, I came into a newly stocked warehouse, which I was not expecting at all. I went through feelings of anger and self disappointment, but that didn't last for long as there was an entire stadium to stock. My crew has been reduced to five people and only four showed. Thankfully we had around ten temps for the day. I did my best to place people in certain tasks for the day. Before I knew it, things had sped to pace I have never seen before there or at any previous job.
I started at 7am, temps arrived around 9am and at Noon we had a crew from the Dallas Convention Center (who have been here all week) come and lend assistance and who does the Director of Operations have them answer to? Me of course. So I had around twenty people looking for me to know what to do. So I did my best and being the leader everyone at work wants me to be. Still unfamiliar territory, but I wasn't about to give in and say I couldn't do it.
The speed at which time flew by was insane. The Dallas crew, which included people far above my rank and pay kicked so much ass. I wish I had people that worked that hard, fast and efficient. It took 12 hours, but we took an empty stadium and made it ready for game day tomorrow. It's not a Broncos game, just the CU vs CSU game, but it might as well be a Broncos game due to it's fan turn out.
My day went smoother than any other day I've had at this job and I shined more than I have ever done. So here I am enjoy a couple glasses of wine (and some cocktails too).
Tomorrow is going to be easy and then I have two days off to enjoy. Monday is dinner and wine at Cru and Tuesday is Yelp Denver's Elite event. I'm actually going to bowl for the first time that night. I'm not worried about embarrassing myself, it's about about having fun. Quite a difference I've made in the past few months, let alone the last few years.
I can't wait for the day when I a behind a desk again doing computer work.
