Six hours of a mathematician from New Jersey discussing retail sales management in a conference room for a major athletic footwear company. This is not hell or even a suburb of hell but it is a local call to hell. Mark was a nice mathematician mind you, and it is a really good shoe company (one of those companies that seem like a great place to work) but six hours of math being done on an old school over head projector makes me sleepy just blogging about it. Sleep was unavoidable, after all once his audio level was set, what was there for me to do? At least I could sit down: Ray and Dallen the camera guys stood for the whole shoot, fighting their way through near unconsciousness and coma while still attractively framing our New Jersey friend in a perfectly composed shot. It was rough to watch. The producer, Jai and I at least had chairs.
My algebra teacher in High School used an overhead projector and his was the first class after lunch. I was doomed for math; but the sweet forbidden algebra nap, drooling on the woodgrain formica desk top was beautiful. Today was a flashback to those carefree days flunking algebra in a dreamless haze.
