Worked all day at the booth yesterday. Was there from 10 until 7. Had some time to walk the floor. What I realized was just how boring this shit that I do is. Rephrase, implementation and the final product isn't boring, but the people and the products themselves. Oh my god. Especially when you put them all in one conference hall. It's just a sea of clones all doing the same thing with a different front end. Took me less than an hour of walking the entire floor to realize I didn't care about any of it. Nothing jumped out at me as being anywhere near exciting. I did have a decent day in the booth though. It went by faster than I expected. I had a few people stop by just to see or meet me in person. That was kind of fun. Later in the day two of my clients came by and we sat in our little lounge area drinking some beers and talking about the conference. Otherwise it was a pretty boring day. Headed back to the hotel around 7, stopped on the way and picked up a bath bomb. Got back to the hotel, ordered up some room service, took a bath, and went to bed. B and I talked a bit but also nothing exciting. I think she is starting to adapt to me being on the road which is good because I have at least two more trips between now and the end of the year. Just need to get some confirmation on them. But it will definitely take me where I want in terms of status. Close to the wire, but at least it will be done. I had to wait for someone for a little bit yesterday and did do some gambling - $2. Yep. I am a wild man. Lost it of course because this isn't Reno with its loose slot machines. But hey at least I can say I gambled. Whee. I need to pack but am having troubles because I picked up too much swag. Need to make some hard choices this morning. Some stuff just ain't going home with me. Oh well. I have to be over at the booth in two hours then off to the airport. Then when I get home I get to see if I have jury duty or not. Fun.
