To all my Constant Readers and others,
A very merry Christmas...
In the past 20 years I've spent about 2/3rds of them somewhere other than my home.
Early years at IDS/SMT I was almost always at the NBA Christmas Day games... Occasionally I would be home for Christmas eve and morning, but catching a flight to setup for other events like Winter Classic or on the way to Oz, or like the last 4 years actually IN Oz for the holidays.
Now I'm in Tampa for a majority of my time, but I did make it back home for Christmas Eve, Christmas Day but I’m heading back to Cigar City on Monday...
One thing about being responsible for all the IT/technical elements of the arena (as opposed to only for one event in the building) is that on most issues USED to be what we referred to (ironically) as TAMPA- 'That Ain't My Problem, Asshole'...
Now, it's my building, it's *all* my problem.

Home For The Holidays is such a classic that it's a song, Jay.
ReplyDelete;-)
Especially the use of it in the current Apple TV campaign.
DeleteKinda hits close to home...
Thx BP, and give TQotW my best regards.
Merry Christmas to you and yours, Jay! It won't be like you haven't already seen 'most' of those problems and solved them somewhere else! :-)
