Still, you did something to support the party, more than I did.

Yeah I guess. My main motivation was to be able to drive in a police escorted motorcade though Fail.

Secondary motivation was to help the party. Check.

I don't know if I would volunteer to do it again. I showed up at the hotel at 8, we sat around till 8:45, got the vans, got to the hangar at about 9:30, sat around until 11:45, moved the vans, sat around until 12:30, moved the vans again, sat around till 1:30, moved the vans again, sat around till 2:30, planes landed, people got in, drove them 15 minutes to a different hotel, went back to the hotel we started at, parked the vans, and went home. I got home at 3:30, went to bed, didn't sleep worth a ****, got up at 6:30 to come to work.

6.25 hours of nothing, then 15 minutes of driving, and we're done.
