I worked at the Metrodome today for the first time.  I was nervous because I felt conned into selling credit cards.  It seems like most of the people just wanted the fisherman hat or beach towel.  In my 8-hour shift, I helped sign 115 people up.  Sometimes it sounds like a lot, and sometimes a little, but I'll say this: I was never bored.  There was so much going on!  I was getting overwhelmed sometimes, with people people people moving so much! But when someone was standing there calmly in front of me, my world was at rest.  I still don't feel comfortable promoting something I don't endorse.  I just prayed that the people who signed up have the wisdom to cut up the card or know how to use it responsibly!

I have never seen so many people in purple in my life!  It's neat to see people really supporting someone/something.  It was even NEATER to see couples come in hand-in-hand w/ opposing jerseys on!  Who says a marriage w/ different views on sports/politics can't work?  Hurray teamwork!!

Sometimes I felt isolated, because for half the time, I worked in a booth by myself.  Other times, I felt suffocated, sometimes uncomfortable (my co-worker hit on me), soemtimes really happy . . . the joys of working!

So, people aren't that scary, most are nice and smile back at you, and everyone's crazy (if you've ever seen how some people dress/act at football games or other sports events, you'll know what I mean!).
