Over the years I've gone from hating
the PBS semiannual fundraising extravaganzas, those moments minutes
seemingly hours of commercial infringement upon my PBS viewing to the
point where I swear times I would stop watching public television
altogether but of course had her fall through and that's what they
expect. Well I have gone from bad to some form toleration and just
cutting my viewing time, and listening time because it has the radio
to down significantly. It accidents when I started listening to
WNYC out of New York City because they did not run their fundraising
time the same time our local station in Sadr bypassed that whole
event for a couple years until they all went to the same time
periods. So the last couple years especially as I started winding
down for my work experience I thought why maybe I should volunteer to
be one of the folks on the phones during the PBS fundraiser. But I
never followed through until this fall. I haven't mentioned my
interest in this quest to Dianne Mooney immediately supported me in
the idea of volunteering for a couple shifts see if I liked the work.
So I did.
So I made the call, I asked the
coordinator just how accessible building was and he assured me the
place was all accessible, next asked about public transit when she
was less sure about that was okay I could understand that so I
decided, since I had a day before my first shift, I would go over to
the broadcast house after we had the farewell breakfast with Brooks.
I was pleased to find after a little skulduggery and persistence that
I would be able to get to the broadcast house on weekdays with little
or no problem and that would be straight off University Tracks. I was
pleased. Now because I've done more and around the had anticipated
and I is not charged my chair is deeply as I should've the night
before I felt the need to find some power to suck in for a little
bit. I had the shuttle dropping off at University medical Center and
I went to the cafeteria of a small bowl soup and some crackers and
found a plug-in. Actually searched for a plug-in after a one to find
a place out-of-the-way where I wouldn't bug anybody and more
importantly people and not bug me .
I'm just amazed at how well University
medical Center hides their outlets. I was driving down hallways I've
never gone down before. As I was passing one I look out the window
opened up onto an outside yard there was an interesting site. There
is a huge red and white cloth covered Quonset hunt it took me a
second to realize this was some kind of a M*A*S*H unit. There are all
kinds of personnel setting up this display our training module or
whatever it was, they were red helmets with D R T course which meant
Disaster Response Team. These guys were slick– – they looked like
they knew what they were doing. And then for some reason what I
thought were sleeping bags stretched out on the side of the tents I
realized my horror is body bags! Don't know why but it kind of did.
Maybes because a lot of attention Ebola has had on the world stage of
late but it made me feel like these guys are getting ready for some
big they knew something that I…
