What can YOU say in six sentences?
Whirlwind with happy ending
Been there and back again (apologies, Prof Tolkien) courtesy of the magic of air travel and cannot believe that 24 hours ago I was sweating my arse off in a Florida convention center trying to erect a display booth. The boss told me and Marge to dress properly, so (taking her at her word) we assembled the erector set from hell in slacks and blouses in a room with no air conditioning, working alongside equally wet, dusty, unhappy men from the sales team. Naturally, dinner was cut short when we had to go back to the center to pick up the guys, and I wanted to crawl in a hole and die when they didn't believe my explanation of why the van reeked of beer (Marge knocked my frosty glass of Yuengling into my crotch) and I'll never live this one down. Anyway, I wonder if the boss noticed I was missing from the post-assembly meeting in the hotel lobby? Oh, and I didn't even mention that our rooms were occupied when we entered them at 9 PM, stiff and tired, or that the Princesses strolled into the convention center yesterday to shmooze and bat their lashes. But I was graced with dreams of Bruce last night and woke tired but happy.

Damn, sorry about that transgression! I'm partial to Paul Di'Anno myself. Those first two records are tough to beat....

The Boss fixes all. (Or is it some other Bruce?) Either way, this sounds like a tiresome gig that you guys made fun. Every van should reek of beer.

About those "princesses," I say hide their makeup bags when they're out of the room. Then watch them sweat. Grrrr.
You told us a complete story in six. Well done.

Sounds like an episode of "Mad Men." (No, I'm not hooked on the show. I've seen maybe three. I'd much rather read about your adventures with beer-soaked slacks and princesses.)
