Or rather I hate marathon days. There's a marathon this morning, and it starts downtown ... the same place and the same time as the Vikings Game. The chaos ensuing from that is bad enough; I need to find an alternate route to get to my parking spot. But my co-worker for the Game asked me last night to come in early and ... shoot, I'll keep it a secret, and it involves going into the closed area of the start of the marathon. Worse than that, I need to do this as the marathon starts. It's going to be a shitshow, and it appears as though the people I work for are either blissfully unaware or simply don't care that they want something done in the middle of a marathon.
We ran into a similar situation several years ago. It got so bad that people were literally yelling at another co-worker, seemingly for his incompetence. Things would have been fine if not for all the road closures due to the damn marathon. And so I have no earthly clue why a home Game is ever scheduled the same day as the marathon. Why can't someone -- race organizers, the team, the city -- decide or at least declare that the marathon has to be on a day when the Vikings are out of town?
I am facing certain disaster.
