The Calm Before

Tonight is the opening night of my month long show. I’m teaching my first new card orientation at my home church fellowship hall. I figured I could do it as a fundraiser and since I built this building during the pandemic I know what a fabulous space it is.

I had to go to Russ’ office after garden club this morning to work on the logistics of my Thursday zoom class. Russ wanted to make sure all the parts worked right. It took a little longer than I had time to give to it because I wanted to get to church and set up for tonight’s class.

Good thing I or here when I did. The very expensive and intricate AV System was not work. Four different women worked on it. Finally Sharon said I would need to use the portable projector. Fine, not good, but my computer did not connect well to it.

After lots of gnashing of teeth and tearing of clothes we got it to work. And my beautiful 84 slide presentation looked awful. I was about to cry. Then the portable projector stopped working.

I called my personal AB tech, Russ and he left work early and came to church. I left him to figure something out because I had to go home and let Shay out and take a shower.

Before I even turned the water on Russ called to say he got the big fancy projector to work by using my Hdmi cable. Turns out the church one had gone bad.

Now is the calm before the show. I pray I have no technology issues tomorrow since I have three classes with many hundreds of people waiting to learn what I have to teach them.

Derp breath. Deep breath
