Frizzneyworld:
I have not been posting this week because I am in Orlando at a conference and holy mother of God, I have been busy. I have been working and/or in meetings pretty much nonstop since Saturday. It's been good - I don't get to see many of these people anywhere near often enough, so just getting the chance to sit down and shoot the shit with them for 5 minutes is enough. Ok, it's not really enough, but it'll have to do.
An apparent side-effect of me not seeing people that I am very fond of is that I tend to be overly affectionate with them when I do see them. I know that was misread by at least one person, who I practically had to remove from my side with a crowbar the other night. I hope it wasn't misread by anyone else. I swear, though I may think a number of my friends are pretty dreamy, I only have eyes for that hot DJ at the karaoke bar.
Anyway, highlights from this week that (mostly) do not involve what I do for a living include many, many free drinks, watching some colleagues perform karaoke - some good, some very bad, speaking on a stage in front of 800+ people and not shitting myself, monkeys, the Spiderman ride at Universal, and watching a friend try to slide down a hill using a cookie tray as a sled.
As much fun as cookie-tray sledding is to watch (or do, according to the friend, who later attempted the same feat on an escalator with slightly less successful results), I am really looking forward to going home. I don't like being away from my own bed for this long, and I cannot remember ever being this exhausted. Okay, maybe I was close to being this exhausted after being in labor for 21 hours, or after that one time that the remote broke and we couldn't find new batteries for like 15 minutes, but other than that I think this is one of the most tiring trips I've been on in recent memory. When I get home I'm going to reward myself for a job well done with lots of naps, some hot tea, and a full frontal massage by a freshly waxed supermodel.
