Back on another plane, exhausted.
Business trips really wear me out. These all-day meetings are a drain.
Monday, we arrived at a beautiful resort, and it was a beautiful day in Phoenix. We were supposed to have a rehearsal and edit session and then meet with some of the execs of our big customer, but they ended up not being able to make it until dinner time, so we basically spent the whole day setting up for the meeting yesterday…unpacking boxes, rehearsing and editing. We had a dinner with excessive drinks, a bit of suck-up conversation, then came back to the hotel and crashed.
Yesterday was the all-day meeting. My portion of the meeting was a 2-hour presentation. I got nervous before I had to present, but it went off without a hitch, and I was pleased with my performance. In fact, I’ll toot my own horn: I believe I did the best of all nine of us.
The group we were presenting to is a very attractive group of people. Like, exceptionally attractive. It’s almost like a fancy club. And some of them are super bitchy. I feel a little bit like an ass-kiss, but I also know what I’m talking about, so I do get respect from this group.
Several Hours Later…
Anyway, now I’m back. I spent the rest of the day going into the office, getting the dog (happy to report that she was thrilled to see me - so thrilled she bit the heck out of my lip!), going down to the factory and then home by 5PM.
Walked and Talked with [Athena]. Another really great talk.
And then dinner with the Bulldog.
I’m home now, just ready for bed and simply wiped out. I gotta say it’s been a really great day when all is said and done. I don’t have everything figured out, but I know I put in a couple of great days’ work, played pretty hard and had some great company.
Today was an 8.
I love you truly,
GS
