Happy No Labor Day

Hope everyone had a great day of not working. Mine kinda of boring mainly because I was still recovering my first Ohio State football game. Saturday was a gorgeous day in Columbus for football game. Ohio State took on Youngstown State, which their team name is...anyone...anyone? That's right the fightin' Penguins. Their mascot was a giant penguin that was wearing a scarf and a stocking cap, plus they also had a female penguin mascot. Who basically just had eye lashes to show that it was a female. The whole time I was watching them I was expecting Morgan Freeman to come on the loud speaker to narrate the penguins and the game.

(Morgan Freeman voice) "The penguins marched their way off the field and I'd like to think that the last thing that went through their head, other than that bullet pass for a touchdown, was to wonder how the hell the Buckeyes ever got the best of them. Well you either get busy living or get busy dying"

I was up at 6:30 and there at 7 and looked like I like I still was asleep, which I pretty much was. My job responsibilities during the game were to make sure 65,000 McDonald's coupons got handed out at the gates to the fans as they entered the game. My other responsibility was at half time I was given the first half stats and had to make about 2000 copies in 3 min and have them in the hands of fans as they wait to get food at half. Both went OK not the best but for my first time doing a massive hand out I think I did pretty good. One of the funny things though during the game was pre game around all the tailgates. We have these season long all-access passes to get us anywhere in the stadium. This is one of the reasons I love working in sports because this pass hangs around my neck and I walk around like in Wayne's World showing off my pass to everyone. Well walking around with some of the other employees in the tail gate area a ticket scalper saw our passes and wanted to buy it off us for a thousand dollars. Really tempting, we turned him down but it is in the back of my mind in case I do get fired from the job and need to turn some money around quick. The best though was after the game fans stuck around because we put the Michigan game on the video board and fans went crazy after they lost, I have never seen so much passion for one team hating another team. It is starting to come over me I really hate Michigan, mainly because they did not like my job interview with them, well their loss because Ohio State wanted the best of the best, so eat it Michigan!
