lumpygravy Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 I missed the Bay Bridge Charity Classic this morning because one of the systems I'm responsible for at work didn't come back up after a scheduled building wide power outage yesterday. I finally got things running but looking up at the clock, the match is probably at least half over by now. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has done/experienced this: putting work responsibilities before personal fun. I have to remind myself that work pays me and if it wasn't for work I wouldn't be shooting at all. This is a match that donates proceeds to the Toys for Tots. To add insult to injury, the weather today is absolutely spectacular. I'm pretty sure I can just send a donation to the match organizers to add to the pot so it's not all bad.

EkuJustice Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Wish I could. Mine went off the entire KY 3 gun match with absolutely stupid questions. I got to the point of about asking Gary If we could affix it down range on the rifle stage and use it as a "bonus" target Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digby7 Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 as someone that also responds to production outages - I feel your pain. Luckily my customers are considerate of my match schedule and their machines only seem to fall over at 1am or later on the weekdays - leaving weekends free for matches when I can go. I feel really bad for real estate agents - sunday is their busiest day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
