Tuesday, November 14, after dragging myself to work from the red-eye flight I took on Monday night:
ziasudra: *stumbles into office, half alseep*
Boss: Go online and book a ticket from New York to Cleveland right now.
ziasudra: Bzuh?!?
Boss: Mr. Executive Director wants you to go to the conference. Other Guy In The Organization is going too. Just book a ticket and hotel and call Mr. Executive Director when you arrive.
ziasudra: Okay...
So here I am, in Cleveland, Ohio, attending a conference. So far, so good. I've got a couple of free Cleveland Cavaliers swags and have thrown my name in for a free ticket raffle for the Cav's Friday night home game. At the reception tonight, there was a big cardboard cut-out of LeBron James right behind the French fries.
Oh yeah, and I also went to conference sessions on community development-related topics. No, this isn't a basketball conference unfortunately ^_^;;
