Here are some things you probably never want to hear right before the service or event starts:

- "Hmm, I thought I saved those changes…"

- "There must have been a power outage. Seems none of the settings recalled"

- "I was just in the bathroom, but I forgot to take my mic pack off my belt…"

- "I just ran all the software updates for this computer"

- "I just upgraded ProPresenter to the latest version. I've been curious how it works"

- "I think the network is down"

- "This thing keeps crashing"

- "The speakers are making this weird, muffled, popping sound"

- "Hey, we just need to add _______ (fill in the blank with an instrument, singer, set piece, etc)

- "Hey, I just need a real simple graphic (or video) made"

- "I can't get the ___________ to turn on (fill in the blank with any important piece of equipment)

- As someone's about to speak/sing: "I'm not sure I replaced the batteries in that mic"

- "Where is ______________" (fill in the blank with a key volunteer who NEEDS to be here to operate the service)

- "You do remember we're doing baptisms today, right?" as baptistry sits empty or full of 60 degree water

- When asking to double check a video for the service: "What video?"

- "I didn't test this, but it'll probably work fine"
