Y6 D156

I earned my keep at work yesterday that's for sure. My feet are so sore still it's not even funny. Almost 12 hours on them. I got up yesterday around the same time as now, 6:45ish, and got ready. I woke B around 8 so we could go down together to get some breakfast. We came on back up to the room and I took off around 10:30 to head over to the booth. By the time I got to the booth it was about 11 and there I stayed until 6. While in the booth I did two presentations and helped get everything ready for the client dinner. Our booth is so damn small. We were on top of each other all day. I kept off to one side just to stay out of the salespeople's way. When I did my presentations I had to kick them all out so I had enough room for customers. The presentations went okay. My boss did one at 12:30 and unfortunately it was a little light because lunch just started then. The same thing happened at my 2pm because lunch was just finishing and some labs were starting. My 5:30 however  went really well and had a good number of people. Right at 6, my coworker and I went over to where the client dinner was happening. This was a bit of a stressfest. We had it at the Linq - aka the glorified ferris wheel. But you have to park away from it and walk about 1/4 mile. Which meant we were hauling butt from the car to where the party was AND we still had to setup name tags, organize seating arrangements, etc all in about 20 minutes. Our blood was racing. But luckily everything went off without a hitch and everyone was happy. A good time was had by all. We did cocktails, followed by dinner, and around 9:45 people were able to go up in the wheel. I chose not to and instead headed back to the hotel. B had been alone for 12 hours by now and that was more important to me. She had a fun day herself - she managed to catch a cab, take it over to the shops, and kept herself busy. I was greeted with a surprise bag from the Disney store. More Tsum Tsums!! YAY! She got us the Alien, Hammy, Mickey, and Minnie. That gives us 20 now. We told each other about our day and crawled into bed around midnight. A busy, stressful day, but also pretty successful and rewarding.

Today is not as bad. I have one presentation at 2, some meetings after, dinner at 5:15 with folks, then No Doubt at 7. Tomorrow we're getting up early and heading to Reno. Woo! What a crazy week.
