Stay tuned for more Sundance stories
What have I been doing, and why haven't I posted any additional stories about volunteering at the Sundance Film Festival?
Saturday: Played Super Mario Galaxy almost all day. I think it's the best video game ever and am still seeing star bits even when the game it turned off. Did some laundry and waited for Sunday.
Sunday: Went to Park City for the SFF. Got home around 2am, finally went to sleep around 3am. More on that later.
Monday: Woke up at normal time to go to work. Computer told me it had a critical RAID array problem. Called Ben, who had the day off (my company doesn't care about MLK or civil rights, apparently) and he said he would check it when he came home. Went to work, where I had to restart my computer twice to get it to boot correctly. Ben called me with "worst case scenario" that I'd lost everything. I was overcome with panic for an hour or so, when Ben (still casual in tone, which pissed me off and comforted me at the same time) called to say that there was a glimmer of hope. Still panicked. Ben finally called back to tell me that the one hard drive had failed, and the other still had my data. Relief, finally, as well as perpetual panic because I am way overdue for backing stuff up. I needed to prune my data that evening, so instead I came home and ate dinner and pretty much crashed for the night.
Tuesday (today): Computer is working with one hard drive. I'm making copies of the most important documents (I think) on my drive but I need to go to work. I will write more about the SFF later today.
My experience at Sundance was incredible. I already know that I will volunteer again next year if possible. And I can't wait to go back this weekend! Or some evening after work this week to see a movie.
