Conferencing
I’m at a conference (again) - by myself this time. Things I’ve learned:
- Turns out The Kid and The Husband miss me. The Kid has a clear and unquestionable preference for The Husband. I don’t exactly like this but I suppose it is understandable (as grad school friend likes to point out – “who doesn’t?”) So, I guess I’m happy about this new knowledge. Since I’ve been gone, The Husband is all stressed out about money, my mother, and Intervention. The Kid won’t sleep and apparently, cries for me or at least appears to request my presence.
- It’s a small world after all. It’s a small world after all. It’s a small, small world. I happened to discover the identity of a blogger. I should point out that I only read about 10-15 blogs regularly and I only discovered this addictive hobby in March 2006. So, this discovery was quite a surprise (especially given that it happened so quickly).
- Even though I am old, married, and a mother I can still rock. I closed the bars with other grad school friend our first night here – not sure I’ve recovered yet.
- I can promote myself when I want to (apparently), I’ve practiced a whole bunch this week. Someone will hire me.
- One airline charges $2 for a blanket and pillow. They keep the onboard air temperature at about 60 but I refuse to give in – I’ll freeze to death before I pay for an airline pillow or blanket.
- I can eat sushi everyday.
- I'm applying for at least one grant this year.
