Yeah, I hate that commercial too.

Well, one week down, one to go up here in P-burgh. I’ve probably worked close to 70 hours since Sunday. The scary thing is, I’ve probably had the lightest schedule of anyone on the web team. But hey, I have to get up at 5:30 CST, so it all evens out 🙂 At least it’s rarely boring – the time flies because there’s so much to do. And it starts again tomorrow bright and early – we were supposed to have Sunday off, but due to so much traffic to our website (http://gc20004.org), we’re going to have to redesign it tomorrow since there’s a constant virtual logjam. If you’re lucky enough to actually get on the site, it’s excruciatingly slow unless you’re on at 2 in the morning.

At least I can get a good night’s sleep 🙂

Been in Pittsburgh for five days now – my how time flies. Seems like I’ve been working non-stop, though I’ve had it easy compared to some people from work that have literally worked all day and all night.

Other than a three hour delay in Washington DC, the flight was uneventful. It was cool flying into DC and seeing the Capitol, the Washington Monument, and the Lincoln and Jefferson memorials.

Pittsburgh is rather dull so far (then again, I’ve barely been out of the convention center). There’s a mile and a half walk between the hotel and the convention center, but it’s good exercise and kind of gives me a feel of what it would be like to work in a really large city.

No excitement on the General Conference front either – no angry mobs of people yet, though you do get attacked by people handing out flyers as you try to enter the convention center. But the angry mobs will come – it’s just a matter of time.

A couple of weeks ago I accidentally mailed two letters without stamps or a return address. Today I received one of them back from the post office – they had opened the letter, put the contents in a new envelope and mailed it back to me.

My question is this – wouldn’t it have been just as easy (and cost the same) to forward it on to the person I mailed it to in the first place?

I don’t know if it’s allergies or a cold or what, but I have been coughing up all sorts of unholy substances this past week. I sure hope whatever it is goes away before I have to head to Pittsburgh this weekend…
