Homecoming Game

In addition to me interning in DC, I also work for the events staff for Mason Athletics.  This past weekend I worked the homecoming game, but the funny thing is...I didn't know it was homecoming. I don't know if that's my fault or bad marketing by the athletic department and the school as a whole to promote that it's homecoming week. I didn't realize I was working the homecoming game until close to halftime when I noticed they were talking about George Mason alumni.  I was wondering why the PA announcer kept talking about Mason Alumni, and that's when I figured out that it was homecoming. When you work back hallway you aren't able to watch the game. That's why I didn't know right away that it was homecoming. During halftime there was a line outside the bathroom, so that was another way I figured out it was homecoming. 





Before the game, one of our workers got stuck in the old elevator that we use to transport items from the bottom floor to the concourse.  It was kind of a scary moment because she was in there for at least 10 minutes.  Thankfully she got out.  Since that incident, I don't trust that elevator. For the game on Wednesday, I had to take the ice bucket upstairs using that elevator, but I was concerned that I might get stuck this time too. So, I pushed the ice bucket into the elevator, pressed "2", walked out the elevator and watched the elevator doors close, and walked up the stairs to meet the ice bucket in the elevator. If the elevator got stuck again, at least it wasn't going to have me in there.
