Been doing mandatory 12 hour days, 4:00am to 4:00pm.
Plenty of faces and names we all recognize in house.
Some aspects are fun and entertaining and much of it is just a mental and physical drain.
For better or worse, tomorrow is it.

Well at least you are paid for your pain. Imagine the rest of the poor souls that work for lets say Shell or 711 or Walgreens or Denny's.Slogging through all the traffic and for what?

I bet it’s a zoo in LV right now!

I won't be watching the Superbowl as I'm already saturated with Taylor Swift. I avoid the news and most media like the plague, but the hype is inescapable.

We’re watching our regular show tonight. I’ll catch up with the commercials tomorrow.

Looking forward to (hopefully) seeing a good game. If Mahomes is on, KC is going to be tough to beat.

My nephew recently got together with his bud and old teammate from college after a game. He looks like a mini doppelganger and more like a brother than Jason, lol. Based on that connection I guess I gotta pull for KC.  |

I'm going to watch the game. Not a fan of the Chiefs or 49er's but the Superb Owl is usually a good game. I could care less about the Taylor Swift hype or the Half-Time show. That's when I'll go do other stuff for a few minutes. I give Usher credit for being a great entertainer and singer but his music annoys me.

I have a good idea of the insanity that is LV these past couple of weeks. Kudos to those in the hospitality industry for enduring it. In place of the Super Bowl I’ll be watching the “Wind Blow” through the picture windows here in south Texas as I haven’t watched a professional football or basketball game ever since kneeling for the national anthem became a thing.

It was a great game! That missed TD conversion came back to bite SF.

I thought it was pretty boring until the 4th quarter. Didn't pay much attention to the commercials or halftime show. I see Kelce is taking some heat for that bizarre incident when he almost took Andy Reid off his feet. Dude.

A friend of mine has been a volunteer at the Superbowl for the past several years. He is part of a group of volunteers that set up / tear down the halftime set.
He was there.
He loves doing it; they practice the set up / tear down for three/four days prior to the game. Once everyone knows their "job" they get it down to a certain timing:7 minutes for set up/5 minute strike(?) or something thereabouts. They keep practicing it until it is consistently under time.

I glad it is over with.
The officers working today (I am off today) are working 10 hours. By Wednesday when I return things should be back up normal.
I walk a lot at work on a normal basis, but the past 5 days have all been over 7 miles per day. It will be a welcome couple of days away from the place.
The question everyone was asking is “who do you like in the game”?
My response was always, “I’d like to see the 49ers do well, but it’s hard to imagine the Chiefs won’t win”.
The game did not defy my expectations.

They didn't show it of course but I gathered that at some point a streaker hit the field. I'm guessing alcohol was involved.

I kinda thought it might have been Jason Kelce. 😆 |
