Well, that's what comes after Asilomar 5.

So you're back from another one of your medical writing conferences?

That I am, Gerald. And I don't have a lot to say about it since I'm so damn busy.

Well, it was probably a nice vacation, right?

It was! I spent most of it reading Old Man's War and Homeland and watching Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood ( Read more... )

It's been a few weeks since the latest AMWA Annual Conference, but there are a few things I've been wanting to get down here!

Tell me all about them!

Oh thank God, Gerald, I've missed you. Even lists are too time-intensive this time.

Gerald > gerunds.

Well, I wouldn't go that far, but you do allow me a certain amount of freedom of expression.

For the fifth year in a row, I traveled to Asilomar for a medical writing conference, but for the second time, I don't really have time to write about it in much detail, which is just as well since hardly anyone reads LJ anymore. But I do have lots of gerunds, and hidden in them is some EXCITING NEWS, but it may be hard to miss. You'll see.

Oh my God, why haven't I been posting? Because my world is a crotch, that's why.

1. Work. Work. Also, work. So much work. I was at work till after 7 the other night, and, honestly, if I weren't busy with other things, I would be staying late(r) all this week.
2. My passport expired, and I need to get a passport photo and send in the application and all ( Read more... )

Oh, is it time for the AM WA Annual Conference again? Oh, do I no longer have time to write epic posts, even with the help of Gerald? Are lists less time-intensive?

It was that time again! Time again for the AMWA Annual Conference, this time in scenic Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

That sounds sooooo exciting!

Hi, Gerald. How you been?

Hungry.I'll bet. All right, whatever, let's do this. Can we get through five days in a reasonable amount of time? We don't want to bore the living crap out of everyone. They don't ( Read more... )

Isn't this around the time you have one of your crazy medical writing conferences?

Yeah, it was a couple weeks ago! You probably didn't even notice I was gone for a few days.

I always notice. I miss you.

Thanks.

I was being sarcastic, idiot. I was getting trashed with Raoul the whole fucking time.

I knew you two knew each other. So do you want ( Read more... )

From Atlanta to Louis ville to Dallas, the American Medical Writers Association sure doesn't like to gather in the typical conference towns. And even though I was from the area, I was unfamiliar with downtown Dallas.

This year's conference was going to be very important, as I was giving a three-hour cancer pharmacology workshop and speaking on a ( Read more... )
