Watson Wisdom Wednesday

Rich, me and a few of the crew of the ice show would go to vegas once a summer. Being 5 hours away and having a day off we'd leave after our last show, spend the day there, and then come back the following morning before the first show. This was Rich's one vacation a year and he'd usually start it in the same way: he'd drink a beer, then go into the bathroom to take a shit and have a smoke.

The things you find most enjoyable things usually the ones you can rarely do.

One time Rich and I were loading in a new show, we showed up at 5 am, finished loading it in, took breakfast, came back prepped for a run, did that, went into the house to be reamed by the TD about how we didn't do it so well, did another run, back for a reaming. One final run at around 5pm and we knew once again we were going to be reamed for not doing a perfect run.

Now the odd thing was the TD told us we did a good job that day, we'd have it perfect for opening in 5 days and suggested we take a break and then clean up and call it a night. After a long day of being told we sucked Rich spoke up, 'Look Jack we've been here since 5am, how about we just clean up and go home?'

There's no point in taking a 15 minute break 30 minutes before going home.

An FNG once asked Rich what he was doing on a day off.
Rich's response:
Here's what you do you go by del taco 'cause they got TWO tacos for a dollar, then you go by the liquor store and buy TWO beers, go to the store across the street and get a magazine (they're cheaper there), then go home and lock the door.
