Back from Loscon.
It was a bit of a Drama-con, but we are Ops, we know how to keep it under the radar. We took turns having our mini-meltdowns.
The bad news is that I spent most of the con either working or trying to rest so I could work. I didn’t really show up at the con until it was time for breakdown. The good news is that I did managed to show up. I was bouncy and singing and having a high old time tearing the Art Show down. I like de-construction. I was my normal energetic happy self during that entire time. I like that version of me.
I have a number of possibilities for where to work World Con. Option, options, options. I might just attend with fresne and capricious_k, I might wander the halls or do masquerade with the friends I costumed with that world con, I have been asked to work Ops, I could work Member services, Information, Con Suite, Staff feed, I might work Tech (they found out I was a Master Electrician and would really like me to work) or I might be able to swing turning our joke idea into a real possibility and need to get added to communications. I think I like the idea of working tech, more physical motion and feeling of accomplishment. But if I can get the last one to work out, that would be a fine and dandy result of my playing connect the dots. Then again, it is all about line control.
I seem to have this thing about line control. I can’t not help. I see a line that could work better, more information passed along, entertaining ways to get people to do what you want, I have to do it. It is a compulsion for me. I even did it at the airport when I was on the way home.
I thank everyone that had a hand in getting me to con and making it a good experience over all.
Goddess of Line Control
You need to post the story you told me on the ride home about airport line control!
You have earned your Line Control Merit Badge!
Glad you made it Gina, Loscon wouldn’t be the same without you. Get in touch with me soon on the ideas for Worldcon and lets see what we can make of it.
And don’t forget, none of us who handled the JMS line fiasco at LACon III were actualyy members of Ops. None of us can truly get it out of our systems but you truly are the Goddess of line control.
