that's over
So, MAAWG is over for another few months, at least. (MAAWG is an industry group of which I am a member, and there are three meetings per year).
I am tired, because wow, that's a lot of talking. It's great in some respects, because I see people who have been my friends for years on end now and I really am happy to see them and I miss them in between times. But it's also like 96 hours of people and talking and tell me about yourself and what have you been working on and what do you think about this and can you fix my problem and do you know this guy. Plus there are many many drinks and occasionally a little food but nothing resembling real meals.
And then I get home and Sarah is all where has my mama been and there's sitting in my lap and "I give you a big hug and a nice pat and a little kiss," and OMG I am exhausted. Tomorrow I go back to the office and I have a staff meeting at 9 am and a performance review at noon and a strategy meeting at 2 and a task force meeting at 4 and then I *must* go to the store before we go home.
This weekend, no matter what, I am spending one hour sitting in a quiet room, alone, and knitting. If I have to stay up late or get up early, I will, but my introvert nature is rebelling and it must be appeased.
