2nd Day in Vegas

In Las Vegas, it’s the second day of the conference. I’m currently sitting in a session that one of the project managers from my office is giving. I’m facilitating these sessions, which basically means getting people in the right place and passing out handouts. Feeling a little bit tired but it’s probably because yesterday was a long day and I just ate lunch. You know, afternoon lull.

Yesterday was spent setting up our booth and figuring out where I was to be and when. Last night we had an opening cocktail party, which meant lots of talking with customers. It was lots of fun for me to put faces with names. In addition to meeting customers I’ve been talking to on the phone, I got to meet lots of people who work in different parts of the company. The party went long which wore me out since I stood the whole time. Afterwards, a group from the office went to dinner. I had more sushi. (Can’t get enough!) It was a nice time but everyone was pretty worn out and quieter than normal. I went straight to my room after dinner, got a bath, talked to Kevin briefly on the phone, and fell fast asleep.

This morning I woke up early to meet a client. It was a 7am meeting…who makes 7am meetings? One of our developers ran the meeting so I didn’t have to play a huge role. Things went extremely well and we were off to breakfast to hear the keynote speaker right on time. The rest of today will be more sessions and then a large evening event. I guess we’re going to have a dinner with a show followed by play gambling. Should be fun!

Feeling really good about being here. This has been such a neat trip for me. I’m thrilled to be working in the corporate world.
