If Valve would not release a thousand confusing updates for Counter-Strike, I might actually be able to play. Onward!

Tomorrow is going to be a fun day.

At this point, I've been up for well over 24 hours. I'm exhausted, but strangely not physically tired. I started off last night at work, after spending a fair amount of time at the church, wiring up some lamps in the ceiling. Pixel declined to join me on the scissor lift, for unknown reasons. I then helped DSMGG set up for today's LAN party, then moseyed off to work. Got home this morning around 07:00, caught a few hours of sleep, then went to do a church show in Waukee. It was a "Walk For Life" cancer-awareness event, and my church was putting on a quick production of their children's church service to advertise. The walk was held on the track around a football field, in icky, cold, wet weather. Of course, the sound equipment got it's own tent, but it was still rather miserable. I was there for almost an hour waiting to set up the equipment, because the guy who was transporting it was late. Woo.

The show went off without a hitch. Notice that I say "The" show. Singular. They didn't tell me when they asked me to run sound that I'd go through 2 hours of cold wetness for one stinkin' 10-minute production. Afterwards, I found out that the people who were running the walk, the school folks, didn't know how to run their own sound system, so I ended up staying after everyone from my event had left...to run sound for the rest of the event groups. Blaaaaah.

I'm at the LAN party now, getting ready to go home and catch an almost full night's sleep before another 24-hour stint tomorrow, starting at 05:45, when my computer will start making beeping noises at me, signifying that I must drunkenly stumble across the room, and enter my password to turn off the alarm. Once I get to church, the fun begins. I get to rewire the youth stage that I tore apart the other day to wire up the lights, and run sound for the youth and the children, most likely admonishing them the whole time to leave the microphones alone. The joy of Celebrate Recovery starts at 18:00, when I'll do more running around to collect microphones for the folkes to use.

Updates on Sunday...next entry!
