the closer i get to the city..
i'm leaving today for my first overnight(s) conference for work. it's not in any sort of interesting locale... it's in alexandria. at a resort, however. and everyone i've spoken to that is going is under the age of 35. legend has it, this annual conference turns out to be a big party for younger execs in the nonprofit world. i have been trying to figure out how to not participate too much in the drinking side, so i can still keep some kind of mystery about myself at work. i've done a good job so far of not divulging too much information over the last 2 years so that people think i'm funny and smart, but not too fucked up.
i'd like to keep it that way. no sobbing drunk nights. instead i've decided to reveal the half-hearted hippie side of myself and bring my practice poi, since apparently there will be a bonfire. it might be fun to show off some spinning. no fire this time though. not up there.
either way, i'm anxious about leaving. i'm nervous about rooming with one of my "friends" from work. worried i'll snore and everyone will know about it, i am that paranoid.
i remembered to pack a swimsuit however. i'll be back on tuesday.
