Okay, so after 8 hours of rest and waking up to a bright and relatively warm sunny day, my spirits were lifted. I put things in perspective and was displeased with the way my glasses had been tinted a murky grey. There I was, making this conference the bane of my existence, when in actuality it should not rule my emotions so. I have friends who deal with life and death situations everyday. Literally. And they don't whine about it. Or at least, not to me.
I took things as they came. Today was probably ten times more stressful and busy than yesterday, but I handled myself much more calmly. My plate consisted of the conference program, emailing final details to speakers, sponsors, and poster judges, and reviewing the nametags for the 450 delegates--the latter of which would have kept me at work until 8pm without Oli's help.
But, happily, I finished everything that was pressing *sigh of relief*. I cannot wait until the weekend. Scratch that, I cannot wait until next weekend, when all of this is behind me. I foresee bellinis, sleep, and lots of TV viewing. I have more than 30 movies waiting for me on my PVR.
Oh, and CHAI!
