So today was Fall Fest and like the good little employee that I am, I volunteer for some, sure to be miserable, duty. Historically, Fall Fest is brutal. Anything scheduled outdoors, in the middle of the day, in south Louisiana is inviting a rainstorm or heat stroke.

It wasn't so bad today. It was hot, but not scorching. And, the rain stayed away. Although by the end of it, my spigot skin had pretty much soaked me anyway. As it turns out, my "miserable" duty wasn't all that bad. My co-workers and I were given popsicle duty.

I decided I didn't want to be confined to the imaginery borders of our pop-up cabana. So, I'd take big-ol bags of popsicles and walk around the quad handing them out. I did this for about an hour and a half. People flocked to me...they thanked me...they praised me...they loved me.
