More than once I’ve been told I have the greatest job in the world.
Those who say it aren’t picturing the days when I’m hunched over a computer typing an entertainment calendar, sorting through at least a couple hundred emails daily and trying to fit all of the entertainment happening locally into a finite amount of space (or, conversely, trying to fill a section when most of that entertainment has been wiped out by a pandemic).
They’re picturing days like last week, when one of those emails was, “Hey, would you like to get a box of rye whiskey samples and fresh rye baked goods and participate in a Zoom whiskey tasting?”
