Where has the summer gone? I spent a lot of the summer working on the house, which was very rewarding, but it also feels like I missed summer somehow. It also doesn’t help that I got all of 2 days off this summer, both of which I used banked overtime for. To say I’m looking forward to my vacation in October is an understatement. I can’t wait! Only 53 more days now… I wonder when our tickets will come in the mail, should be sometime this week or next. That will be super-exciting!
This past weekend, I had some good R&R time at the cottage with CT and nej. I had a great time. The weather was really nice on Saturday and yesterday (I had yesterday off work), and Sunday was a cloudy day. It was very peaceful and relaxing and it was soooo nice to sleep in! I haven’t slept that long in months!
So, back at work now. Some exciting things coming up. On Thursday, we are having a company BBQ in the evening, so it will be a good opportunity for CT to meet some of my co-workers. Should be fun!
Also, there is this huge conference coming up in a couple weeks. It’s a 3-day thing and every year, senior management attends to network and schmooze with current and potential clients. This year, they have asked me to attend! So, it will be the president of the company, a senior manager, and me going. Yikes! I’m a little nervous since I don’t think I’m all that good at schmoozing, but it will be a good opportunity for me to get some practice in and network. It’s out of town, so I will get to stay in a fancy hotel and go for fancy meals at the company’s expense and the whole deal. Should be interesting.

I bet you'll be a pro at shmoozing c-dub. I've surprised myself and actually gotten really good at in in the past year or two. When we were at the conference in Monterey, kbums friend commented on how good I was at small talk with strangers :) it's definitely something you have to be in the mood for though.
The conference sounds like a good time. Shmooze away!
