And there is this one thing I am glad I am not doing

First of all you have to give credit to the healthcare workers, the doctors, nurses, first responders, teachers even the service workers who are getting yelled at to shot just to get people to wear a mask in their store for the safety of all. There are many workers who are not appreciated and under appreciated right now. 

And there are many more I cannot think of here late this evening that need recognition, too.

And this is a job I would never do at any given time, and in the big picture most of you will not care, but I thought about this for a moment. It is both sad and humorous at the same time.

How would you like to be the staff and mid managers working on the Republican National Convention? If you haven’t drank the Trump kool aid or are just desperate for a job to feed your family why are you working on this madness. 

I just picture these poor people having to work 25 hour days, with competing tasks, nothing certain in anything they plan, some events in two different cities, and you got to find a way to make the biggest and saddest ego on the planet happy by finding a venue you can stick 15,000 people in that adore the man. And on top of all this come up with a solution during a pandemic that the man himself is trying to wipe from our memories so these 15,000 screaming people feel it is okay to go. And all the while all the “elder statesman” of the Republican Party are avoiding it like the plague. ha ha ha. 

So you have business in one city, screaming throngs in another you have to manage, make happy, avoid a complete death meltdown two weeks later,  and it is Florida in August. If the heat doesn’t damper everything a hurricane might ruin any chance of holding an event outdoors. And right now an outdoor event is your safer event for the pandemic. And you won’t know if a hurricane is completely out of the question until a few days before the event. And no matter what you plan no one is going to be happy. 

Yeah, that job description sounds real enticing right now.

And unless someone takes back reporting of the cases, you are probably working blind as to how bad the pandemic is in late August and will be expected to attend yourself. 

Unless my children were starving and that is the only job I could get, I would stay away from that madness and stay as far away as possible. It surprises me there hasn’t been a mass exodus of staff especially when you hear the party leadership is skipping the event. What must be going on in your brain to want to work this madness?

Anyway, the rest of you have a great day tomorrow.
