It was so tough to wake up this morning. I am eating so badly, I’m sure that I contributing to the malaise. I am changing the eating game when I get back to DC. Food is totally my enemy. I love it, I hate it. Bleh.
Anyway, I was late to the caucus meeting, I’m glad I made it. My new friend and Tourism mentor, George gave the group a list of leads – people to make contact with during the week. It will be tougher for me since I don’t have appointments, but I think I will be able to do follow up when I get home. More work to do, but I don’t mind.
I met a nice woman by the name of Katie. She has my same title over at Ford’s. She’s was really and spent most of the day together till she had to go to her appointments.
I met some cool people from Nederlander Group Sales. Once upon a time, I worked in the same building as Nederlander. The Group Sales Manager actually knew who I was. LOL. I guess I was a pretty memorable receptionist at Didney. Who knew? They wanted me to come out and have drinks with them. I don’t know what is wrong with me, but as much as I wanted to go out with them, I knew I couldn’t or rather, wasn’t going to. I have got to fix that.
Today’s luncheon was sponsored by the Branson, MO CVB. It was an incredible show, mostly country but really interesting. It makes me want to go visit the city. They have 100 shows there. The streets must be lined with theatres. If you need work in the theatre – that’s prolly the place to go. Even Sight and Sound is building a new theatre there. Pretty amazing stuff.
The coolest part was when they trotted out Andy Williams for the finale. Everyone at my table who knew who he was said “ I didn’t think he was still alive”. LOL. I am fan of old school standards singers, so I was stoked to see him and loved that he sang “The Shadow of Your Smile” and “Moon River” Come on! How great is that?
After some seminars ( I have taken enough seminars to get a professional development certificate J ). If I take a couple more I will completed the seminar portion of a professional certification program accrediated by the ABA. I am thinking about it. It cant hurt. George suggested that I join a committee at ABA and get more involved. As soon as I get an assistant, I can be more active in stuff like that.
My computer is still not connecting to the internet properly. I haven’t been able to check my work email. There are probably a jillion emails piling up. It will take me all day Sunday or Monday to clear it out. ARGH.
