This morning I was riding down in the elevator of my hotel at 5am. When I got on there were two very attractive, very drunk women. I was bundled up for the elements today (-1 windchill currently and dropping) and had my credential around my neck. They were asking if I was going to the game. I said yes, I was going in to work. They giggled and said that they were going to the game as well, but were going to sleep first.
I've often wondered what it would be like to be one of those people. We're always going in early, and invariably, there are people going to bed when we're going in to work. There are also people already tailgating when we're going in to work. I often wonder what that would be like.
The kicker of the story was- they were very happy I wanted the Packers to win, and they were actually at the wrong hotel. Ooops.

A different Life

I do that too....wonder about that different life, about the people staying in the hotels because they are on vacation and don't have to be downstairs at 4:30am waiting for a van to take them to the airport because they have to go to work. People think I have such a glamorous life, but I've given up a lot to have what I do have. I don't mean to sound sad...I just wonder what it would be like to be so carefree.
You don't sound sad. You realize and take advantage of many of the opportunities your job affords you. I try to do that as well, and many times I do.
I've said I want to be able to go to a college football game and start tailgating on Wednesday afternoon and go home on Sunday.
