“I don't know how you do that,” I told him when I saw him at church the following Sunday. “It's so hot up there,even in the dead of winter. And if you make a mistake, people die. How do you handle the pressure?”
He scoffed at my question.
“It's no big deal,” he said.
“I've been doing this for years.
The furnace pretty much runs itself. I'm_just_there_for_the_ride.”
“Well, I'm glad it's you and not me,” I said. “I couldn't do what you do.”
A few weeks later, Steve and his crew came into the office to pick up some tickets for a football game the company was sponsoring. I was on a tight deadline to deliver some advertising copy, so after I greeted Steve, I returned to my computer to continue working while my staff took care of the tickets.
After a few minutes of tiptiptapping on my keyboard,
I had that funny,
awkward feeling that I had an audience.
I glanced up and saw Steve leaning against the wall,watching me.
“I don't know how you do that,”he said.“There's so much stuff going on up here.I don't know how you keep track of everything.And if you make a mistake,millions of people are going to hear it on the radio.How do you handle the pressure?”
I scoffed at his question,even though it sounded eerily familiar.“It's no big deal,”I said.“I've been doing this for years.Most of this stuff writes itself.I'm just here to make sure it all gets to the right places on time.”
