1 year aniv. for first Axon going hot!

[Motoss]

I'm listening to ALL of it again. It's on my Ipod, I listen while I drive.

God, has it been a year already? I miss this stuff.
Even if it was most of the reason I didn't pass my tuesday evening english class. But good riddance to that anyway.

I'm planning on getting at least the next two chapters of Creepy up for the 24th... does that count?

I stopped by my first axon yesterday. I'll probably swing by the fateful "turned in the SP" axon tomorrow. Ah, sweet memories.

I asked my boss one year ago today if I could leave early that day for an appointment.

I just ... couldn't bear to explain to him that I was wanting to ditch out on answering phone calls at the switchboard, as our company's Operator, so that I could go answer payphones across Chicago, from The Operator.



Happy Axon Anniversay Day!

I can't believe it's been a year. Happy anniversary everybody!

A trip down memory lane ...

Dizzy! Dizzy!

I took a sick day. I had no idea what I was getting myself into, but I was going to be there at that axon location in Ann Arbor at 10 am, no matter what. We accumulated about 20 beekeepers, since it was the only one within like 50 miles. Being right across from a starbucks, someone with wireless kept us constantly up-to-date. Unfortunately for that particular axon, our lead man was a little confused. We never let him live it down, but we've all had our chance to screw up an axon.

I then went to bed, because I'd spent the entire night reading everything I could about ilovebees.com and the accompanying blog.

Here's my LJ entry for the 25th.

Yeah, I hadn't planned on taking any time off that day, because I didn't know what would be going on... if there would be payphones, or if it's be something else.

I was Cortana's phone contact to the IRC channel, so that we could get real-time information about what was happening, since the VERY FIRST axon was here in DC. Unfortuantely, it was also broken, so it was never answered. I don't remember who got the first axon, but it wasn't us.

After I figured out what was going on, I took the afternoon off of work. I grabbed some sushi for lunch and took it with me, as I raced to the metro to head downtown. I don't know the location of the first Axon I helped with, but I know how to get there. I actually met AlienDial there, but didn't know who she was at the time, and didn't find out until a bit later.

I think I ended up answering or being back-up for 4 to 6 phones that day. I could probably still find them all, as I know where at least 4 of them are. Probably the most "interesting" one was the smithsonian metro station one. The phone was underground, and at that time I didn't know where to look for phones in the metro stations. So I eventually found some, after getting some help from Cortana (I was on the phone constantly with him that day) and waited. I think I ended up waiting 15 minutes, in the metro station, for that phone to ring. And given that I was alone, I was certain that I was going to be arrested as a terrorist. But the call came, I enhottenated it, and all was good.

I never believed that we'd be doing that for 13 weeks. Much less that I'd end up with an awesome bunch of friends at the end of it. Or that the following May I'd end up in Chicago for a kick-a** weekend of fun with everyone!

I was a bit late to the game, and didn't actually answer any phones until a few weeks in. After that though, me and a buddy made sure Pittsburgh had 100% coverage. I can't believe its been a year already! What a great experience.
