I woke up about 20 minutes before my alarm. I had left the window shade up overnight, and the mood light on inside the shower. I should take some pictures in this room. I did take some down the lobby while getting steps.
It's a vibe.
My cel phone dinged, and my work wife said she was getting off the train in downtown. I knew she had to go to Dunks to get some donuts for the team so she dumped her stuff off at the office and walked to me.
I had wanted to do that gym thing, but here I was scrambling to get ready to run downstairs to get with her.
We got our donuts and coffee, came back here to drop me off so I could get ready. Shower. That whole thing.
I got to the office at 9:30 in time for our team meeting, and donuts. We headed to the lobby, and clients started to come in. Registration, chats, catch ups. A client from the Eastern Shore was especially happy to see me. This was the first big in-house conference she'd attended and we had a great time catching up. Her boss showed up and they were scheduled for a private tour of the building.
More clients. More co-workers.
Everyone went into a group session and I opted to sit at registration instead of going to the big group session.
The day was kind of a blur. Lunch. Sessions. Chattings. And then Dinner and cocktail reception.
I sat with a client from Kansas who I saw in the morning walking around with his wife and kids early. We had a great catch up and chat about how they drove all the way here in 2 days, the wife and kids were doing the absolute tourist thing while he was tied up with us. They are leaving Friday morning and driving to Santa Claus Indiana, there's a water park/holiday themed holiday destination and there is a german restaurant that, he's not kidding, he's driven 11 hours to get to and stayed at a hotel next door so he could eat there several times.
I guess I'll put that on my "maybe let's go there" list.
Around 7pm, my social battery was asking for me to check out of the scene, so I did. Back at the hotel, I realized I should have gone to the market and grabbed something, because I'd be hungry by like 8. Sadly, I did not. And by 10 pm I was mad at myself, but I didn't want to go walking around the neighborhood to the market.
That's okay.
In the morning, I'm supposed to head over early to meet with a client from Guam. They are here for the conference and having tech support problems. Considering that when it is 13 hours ahead of us there, having them in the same time zone is a joy. So I can tackle some of the issues and problems that they have, and have breakfast. Alarm is set.
I didn't get a good picture, but, I am reminded of how I love this neighborhood in DC. I did see a man wearing a top hat walking 2 pitties down the street, and ... I resisted saying hello.
Digits below some pictures from the hotel when I just went on my last steps of the night journey.
