Though I so did not keep a level head, I may have averted tragedy today; and I did it in true superhero fashion.

The coordinator for the annual county college fair quit. Not “quit as coordinator”, quit the entire state and moved away. Like a dolt, I volunteered to take over, thinking that since the schedule for this year’s fair was set in May, everything is set. WRONG! Something told me to call the facility and confirm that every recruiter from the East Coast (not an exaggeration, no, not at all), would be cleared to set up booths on the 11th. Yeah, he’d never heard of it. In fact, the facility is already booked by another agency that day from 8-4.

I had to put aside my fear and intimidation and call the big boys at the state level. I proposed moving the venue to our school’s gymnasium and hoped they wouldn’t be too harsh in their reply. They were like, “Dude, no problem, we’ll put the word on the listserv and let it roll.” Seriously.

Sometimes, things just work out for you.
