And there's things that no amount of training or, you know, industry work experience can do.

Nobody's ever had sketchy.
Nobody's ever had sketchy information from the event owner or organizer in advance.

at this hotel the week that it was hitting kind of 36 35 36 degrees and that there was no air conditioning and no way of controlling the temperature inside the marquee so we were literally in a greenhouse and at 1 30 in the afternoon we clocked the out the internal temperature to be 38.2
in this marquee and we're trying to retain people's you know we tried every trick in the book to try and you know we were pointing fans out of doors at one end of the marquee to try and promote airflow out whilst putting fans in opposite directions you know
there's no training school for that yeah that's the sort of thing that you you just you just need people who have a a certain you know instinct or you know yeah and also coming back to the training thing so from a from a technical point of view it's the same as well like
And you've left yourself no room.
Yeah.
You know, they can run the iPad, but can they actually, they can run the app.
