Country USA has always been an intense experience. However, I had more involvement this year. I never thought a skinny dude like myself would be able to handle a situation involving six drunk guys.

Also, I wasn’t as nice this year. If people didn’t put the front of their chairs on a line, I made sure they did. General seating people wanted to cut through the reserved section “just to get out faster”. I didn’t let them.

Honestly, it’s a tough job. It’s all about working from dawn until dusk, having only one break, and spending your entire day managing the crowd. I got both praised, and spit on. It’s an experience that happens once a year.

Everytime I get home on the last day, I say to myself “What the hell just happened?” lol.

Today is the opening day! Five days of excitement in Country Music land. Honestly, I never really was a fan of Country until I started working at this event a few years ago. The fans and the stars keep the day going and make the time pass quickly.

There’s also the anarchy of working an event like this, but it just comes with the package. Everything is just so overwhelming there, none of that really matters.

I screwed up AGAIN today. My cell rang at 7:30am and it was Sam’s Club wondering where I was. Once again, I’m a complete moron.

It’s odd though. They haven’t even pulled me aside once to address my sudden change of behavior. I’ve messed up sixteen times in the last month. I thought I’d be fired by now.

The scene in Spiderman 2 when Peter gets fired from his pizza delivery job has been in my mind alot lately.
