Gimme shelter got me thru the workday yesterday


Jan 9, 2019, 6:37 AM

I couldn’t sleep after the game Monday night. Rolled into work still on an adrenaline high from the game and everything was glorious. The sun was out and I got to talk to all my workmates about the game the night before. We all had to eventually get some work done so I sent one to work on the baseball field, one to begin cutting the football practice field and the other one to begin cutting the soccer practice field. I had to catch up on emails and to try to stay off Tigernet. After about two hours of catching up on emails that I haven’t checked in two weeks.

My job as a grounds manager for a private school gives us two weeks paid vacation over the Christmas break so we don’t have to use our regular vacation time to be off during this time of year.(man I love my job) so i haven’t checked any emails since before Christmas. I kept myself busy and cruised to lunchtime.

I began putting out fertilizer on our football field after lunch and life was good. The sun was shining on my back, there was a crispness in the air and I was riding back and forth on a football field and doing what I love to do. Then it began to creep in on me. The air was cool, but the sunshine was warm. The drone of the engine on the machine I was using was hypnotic......... man I’m getting sleepy.

That’s when I realized I needed a shot of that adrenaline rush from the night before to get me through the work day. A quick peruse of my playlist on my phone and there it was “Gimme Shelter” by The Rolling Stones. I put it on a loop and that sleepiness Just fell away. I have always loved that song, but it’s use for the intro to the National Championship Game has given it new meaning to me now. When I hear that song I just have to smile.

Man it’s great to be a Clemson Tiger
