Most meetings are little better, although if they involve only key people and are narrowly focused, they can be very useful. <BR/><BR/>While working for yourself often involves long hours, they are generally productive hours, and nothing short of starvation would ever get me back into the corporate world.vincehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16955307244053931069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6749898309498139507.post-53278513726395943882008-07-01T07:13:00.000-08:002008-07-01T07:13:00.000-08:00Nathan, my friend Stacey is quitting her job to do...Nathan, my friend Stacey is quitting her job to do exactly that. Well, actually, that plus any other organizing challenges (weddings, putting the folks in a home, moving across country, funerals, getting you a replacement birth certificate, black ops... oops, wasn't supposed to admit that last one).<BR/><BR/>It was so lovely to meet you, Tania! I'm working on a post about it now. :)Anne C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09444051201220766948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6749898309498139507.post-83712907310754489892008-06-30T21:36:00.000-08:002008-06-30T21:36:00.000-08:00The last conference I went to, they had *no water*...The last conference I went to, they had *no water* available for the attendees. None! We had to go buy water in the hotel gift shop. (or drink from the water fountain, which didn't work very well if you had a multi-hour session.)<BR/><BR/>Talk about idiocy!<BR/><BR/>I hope it improves for you. You'd think with all these bright folks people could 1) organize an event, and 2) accomplish a little process engineering around making the event flow smoothly. But usually not. <BR/><BR/>Let's hope Denvention goes more smoothly. And even if it doesn't, we can always people watch. ;)<BR/><BR/>Glad the earrings got there. And, uh, glad you have pierced ears. I didn't even think to ask.

I've been to too many lame ones where I wondered just how far did the planners have their heads up their asses to come up with what they did. I couldn't do worse (I think).<BR/><BR/>On the kittie-mat front...They're all torn between their love for catnip...ah sweet catnip...and the fact that the baby cats discovered the tub today. They go back and forth between fighting (lovingly) for possession of the mat and sitting on the marble shelf watching me shower. I'm encouraging mat-envy.Nathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00648438549121320566noreply@blogger.com
