Extreme multi-tasking. I'm attending a webinar and doing a training/certification course on two different subjects right now. And coming here to tell you people about it.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
There was a cursed fig tree, I'm pretty sure.
That's one of my favorite bible stories, because while God doesn't hate fags, he apparently canonically hates figs.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I went from never-been-kissed to 3rd base in about 15 minutes at 17...but I'd been reading quite explicit stuff since I was about 7 or 8. But theory is different than practice, yanno? And they say how you imprint on the first person you have your first consensual sexual experience with, and to this day, I looove getting my neck bitten. Man, I had to hide a LOT of hickeys from my parents!
Oh, and masturbating since, I dunno, 10 or 11? I don't even remember. I had read how to do it, and that it was normal and healthy so I was all "Hey! Science says I can do it! Let's see what this thing really is!" And I did it, and it was good.
Although I was terribly private and embarrassed to talk about sex with my parents, I was was extremely liberal in my own mind. And I knew SO MUCH MORE than my friends and classmates who WERE sexually experienced.
When I was a teacher the Health teacher, a guy, was teribly embarrassedr to do the sexuality lectures, so I offered to do them. And these were tough kids, lots of teen pregnancies, mostly Latino kids, so lots of machismo and adolescent sex hormones running hot and heavy, so I got a LOT of questions intended to freak the white female teacher out. Heh. Even in the anonymous written note section of the lecture, I didn't bat an eye at anything.
I got mad street cred from that. And better yet, kids started coming to me with relationship questions and issues they were embarrassed to talk to anyone else about, and that...that felt good. I was able to help.

I just expressed interest in a Bay Area position. Probably because I have more work than I can handle right now and I'm procrastinating on ALL OF IT.

Our wings are not tired
Thank you folks. This is really for my team. We've got a FOH mixer, monitor mixer, and backline tech working the gig, and then quite a few of my other normal crew helping out and seeing the venue in case we win the contract. I'm just the guy trying to think of all the possible gotchas and trying to make the night go smoothly. I probably won't spend any time behind any of the consoles.
