It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.
That pretty much summed up my week as I tried to get ready to go. I worked just before the weekend, and as always, evenings are interesting. I usually do a week in a row, so I thoroughly enjoyed having the total cut in half, due to some vacation. I didn't get as much work done around the house on my vacation days as I would have liked, but I always plan to do more than I can actually get done.
It has been really interesting here at the conference. I've been studying for a certification and the organization throwing this workshop has spent a lot of time and money and it shows. We have just about all of the people who wrote the books for this certification test and they are really very eager to share their knowledge of how things work and are very approachable. We had a wonderful dinner at a very swank restaurant tonight, where we got to meet more people when they shuffled us around again. It turned out very well.
The weather has been rainy, but that's not a problem when you're stuck inside. The neighborhood's not that great, so you can walk some places away from the hotel, but not too far, because there's not a ton of stuff open. I've identified some of the more important spots, though--the mall and the closest Starbucks. This is very important, since this hotel offers no free internet access, unless, of course, you pay a room upgrade of 50 bucks. You'd think in this age you'd get it free, but...
Nevertheless, I'm typing away at this in anticipation of the dawn, and the opening of Starbucks....I wish you all good night!
