When you have enough time on your hands to write something like this you can’t be working to hard can you?
We did everything we were supposed to do and then we did everything everyone else wouldn’t or couldn’t do. We decided all the planning that took place really did help us in the long run as we had the appropriate level of activity for a department like logistics, which in this environment are the equivalent of fire fighters during games time operations. What that really means is meetings in the morning to give everyone an update on whatever and then moved to the break area for some food and after that falling asleep on a couch somewhere until something broke or fell down, which luckily enough didn’t happen very often.
I’ll write some more after a few hours sleep…
