Master of Disaster
I was at a gawd damn IAS regging event just about a year and a half ago where the speaker, reg, was the don rickles look a like, I got up in the middle of event and walked out, he looked at me as I got up and I could see fear in his eyes, and when I walked out the door some young punk SO guy asked where am I going, I says home, he says why, i says I gotta get some sleep, he says but but as I leave, whats your name, blah blah as I walk out the door.
The don rickles guy started his talk with how we might have to urge to leave, and blah blah blah, joking the whole way to get the audience to laugh and make us feel like we are having a good time, entertained. son of a bitch asshole.
I was on course all day and tired and didn't need to be regged for the same shit, with having to be back the next day early to be on course.
And then lo and behold I get the debbie cook email on excessive regging 6 months later.![]()
The endless reg sessions, "mandatory briefings"(= more reg sessions), and all the rest greatly contributed to my disenchantment. When your attitude shifts to "yeah, yeah, fuck you", you know you're on the way out.
