A new job and well, a new job

I can't really go into detail on this one, but today marked another new dimension on the job.  I will get into details either end of the week or early next week, but on day 2 of the new job I got a whole new perspective on the new job.  Again, I know this sounds stupid, and doesn't make sense, but I will fill you in when I can.  Just know that I took the job, then turned the job down, now took the job, and now got a new job description.  Oh, and I took a 3 week vacation during that also.  What a month!!!

One thing I forgot to bring back up.  So someone told me about this fun game to play at live events called photobombing.  So I decided to try it out at the Kenny Chesney concert.  What you do is wait for someone who is hugging their significant other for a picture.  They are usually planning an overly romantic moment with some beautiful background.  One person, your accomplice, volunteers to take the photo.  Then you position yourself directly behind the photo.  The couple will be so intent on smiling and taking the time to put out a perfect picture they will hardly notice you.  Right when the picture is taken you do something really strange in the background.  Now, this doesn't ruin their picture as they can always crop you out, but it does make for some funny photos.  

So, Kacey agrees to humor me and try it out.  It could have been the Pabst Blue Ribbon she had before the concert started, but either way, she actually humored me and had a little fun with me.  So, she takes the camera and gets this couple in a perfect pose.  Here's a little hint for everyone thinking about doing this - choose someone smaller than yourself.  In this case, she chose a what resembled a large body builder.  I was slightly worried, but figured all the energy went to his muscles and not his head and he couldn't be that smart.  So at the right moment I pull my shirt over my head.  He now has a great picture of him and his girlfriend with an overly large pale, hairy chest directly behind them.  I thought it was funny, until he looked at the digital camera and was pretty pissed off.  Luckily, I came up with a quick story that i was joking around with a friend up in the second deck and PROFUSELY apologized.  I was pretty scared, but couldn't help but laugh when he showed me the picture.  

I challenge all of you to try this at the next concert you go to.  It is pretty funny, but don't get caught.  That was pretty scary!

Until tomorrow...
