OMG! Who Lives Here?

One hundred freakin' sixteen degrees in Palm Springs yesterday, 110 today. The trade show organizers had an arranged for lunch out by the pool. So unpleasant! I have finally given up my dream of going to Burning Man. I just can't take the heat.

Busy fall tradeshow season is upon us

Oh my, 6 events in 3 weeks! Fortunately I only have to go to 4 of them. Did one last week, 2 this week and one next week.

It got a bit crazy trying to provision all of them and make sure the right materials got shipped on time to the right place. All the while doing my day jobs...

Why is it that when new execs join a company, the work load doubles? Shouldn't more people on board reduce the work? ((Hah!)

Tomorrow I'm off to Palm Springs; then on to Detroit Tuesday. No time to enjoy either place. Next week, I'll have an evening in Greenvile, SC. Our distributor is having their annual partner summit and I'm going to that. Looking forward to BBQ!

But, I had new hardware installed on Monday - bands on my back molars. The top ones are really messing with my cheeks. Been living on yougurt smoothies and soup for a few days, and am healing slowly. I miss eating. So I'm hoping I can manage some famous South Carolina pulled pork next week. last time I when there, in the spring, my inbound flight was so late I didn't get dinner, and was out the next afternoon. So this time, I have 2 days there and should manage one BBQ dinner.

Time to go tend the laundry and pack. The annoying washer is beeping ... why do we let our products make such awful noises?
