The specific gig: parking cars! Meaning working in the field as a parking attendant, directing traffic, pointing cars where to park in the dusty expanse of a flat grassy wasteland, and other miscellaneous duties such as enforcing one-way traffic, being a security guard at exit-only gates, etc. The most exhausting, most sleep-depriving, feet-hurting, living-in-the-dirt, braving-the-elements job I ever loved. I even continued to do it for a few years after moving to California! That's right, I'd fly from San Diego to Columbia specifically to work at the fair (oh, and to visit my parents too, of course). ¿Estoy loco? I hope to try and explain myself on this page, i.e. why in the world was I compelled to do such a thing, again and again for almost 20 years. |
