  I was assigned to work in accounting at assemblies for several years, when I was an MS, then and elder. I noticed that cookies, donuts, and other items were brought in and left in the kitchen by generous jws, even though food service was eliminated. The items were for workers to enjoy.

  I'd go back mid-session and enjoy some cookies, etc. Then I'd go back in, sit with my wife, and grin with a sneaky kid who just got away with something, lol. Then I'd tell her what I was up to, and she'd get a little jealous and then laugh a bit too.

  When I was a teen, a friend and I would take the car and go driving during the afternoon sessions. That was fun, too. :)

  I always volunteered...ALWAYS. It was the only way to break up the monotony. I'd get to leave my seat halfway through the program and proudly display my "volunteer" badge so people would look on me approvingly..LOLOL

  Of course, then I had kids just so I'd have an excuse to get up with them!

  Then I left. Now I don't have to worry about it anymore!

  The last few years, we REALLY didn't want to be there anymore, but hubby had a work assignment, that he accepted because we could park our RV on the grounds, at the Tacoma Dome, if he worked the assignment. So, we would make our cursory appearance at the convention, and then sneak out to the trailer, and drink coffee and read our books until time to make our way back in, for appearances....or not.

  What was funny, is in that little trailer park, there were many doing exactly what we were. No one ever asked "why aren't you inside the Dome?" We all just waved and went into our own trailers.

  Sleeping, staring at girls, walking around and flirting with girls. If at all possible I'd leave the convention and do whatever I felt like in the various, often boring, cities the conventions were held in.

  I don't feel like Satan but I am to them.

  I would pass my time by leaving early, pretending I wasn't feeling so well and wandering around the Reno Casino's. I'd be back in my room by the time the joint emptied out.
