  • mmmm...jet noise...

    so i worked a little booth at an airshow at one of the bases in town. if you've never been to an airshow, it's where the military says "hey look how awesome we are! we have jets and shit! WOOO!!!" and sends the populous home half deaf. they're pretty freakin' awesome, actually

    but i digress.

    so we were only selling via and pastries. that's it. it was clear as day that we weren't selling anything else. we had signs up. sooo many people got sooooo pissed off that we didn't have espressos.

    common people!

    does it look like we hauled an espresso machine here? do you see a full coffee shop behind us? no. you see water heaters and a shit ton of via. you want a caramel macchiato? too bad. you want a frappuccino?
    do you see any fucking blenders?!

    oh, then we also kept running out of coffee cuz there were so many people. we aren't super people, we can't shoot hot water out our finger tips. water takes time to heat up people, chill out for 10 minutes and you'll get coffee.
    there were so many people, we had a half hour wait for stuff. it was ridiculous.

    and almost three hours later and my ears are still ringing.

    Hee, I worked an Airshow with the CAP and we sold pairs of earplugs for 50. a piece. You know how much we made? About 500 dollars! Yeah, those engines will leave your ears ringing!

      reminds me of a rock concert I worked at my high school 33 years ago during my 2d year. Sweatly Teddy Nuggent was the headliner and I was sitting on the stage near one of the amp/speakers. could not hear much of anything for like 24 hours. I'll take the roar of a jet anyday

        Or getting stuck in a room not really big enough for a dozen or so bagpipes.
