Yesterday, I got paid to drive to st. Louis, and eat mcdonalds. It was great.
Another job perk: Yesterday, when I got to work, I was invited to a slipknot show. I don't care much for slipknot but Devil Driver and 3 Inches Of Blood were opening up and I wanted to see 3 inches of blood. Plus it was free.
We get there and we have to park in this special parking garage. Then, we walk in and are imediately greeted by three people in swanky attire. They are ushers. They pat down my coworker, but let me walk through(sexism!). We head down a long corridor, every now and then being greeted by a new usher, asking if we need any help find our seats. My coworker knows where they are so we don't.
There are doors all through out the hallway. I have no idea what they lead to, but they are all numbered. Finally, my coworker picks a door. We open it up, and inside is a nice dimly lit room, with one of my bosses, and a few other employees. There is a private bathroom, a sink, cups, two steamers, and a mini fridge. The steamers have hot wings and toasted ravioli. The mini fridge is stocked with beer. Lots and lots of beer. There are seats in the room as well. They are super comfy theater seats. They look down on the stage. We have this whole amazing view of everything going on on the stage, and everything going on back stage.
After the second band, a man walks into our room. He is another nicely dressed usher. He hands my boss the bill. For all the food(chips, chips and salsa, hot wing, ravioli, popcorn, pretzels, cashews) it is $300+. A small bowl of cashews is $18. But it was all paid for by the company. The minifridge of beer was completely free.
It was amazing.
Also, board, after what happened in the relationship thread, I am not sure how I feel about you. I'm pretty disgusted by it all. I don't really want to discuss it much beyond that, but if anyone wants to, please keep it in pms.
