Typically, when I start these entries, I'll get started at home by getting ready for work, taking a picture, and uploading it to Blogger while placing some "add more here later" placeholder text. Fact is... I had almost forgotten I hadn't written an entry until about 2AM the next day.
As it goes, I'll be leaving for a business trip here in about 9-10 hours. In that time I will be...
...finishing up some laundry...
...taking a nap...
...packing...
...catching up on e-mail...
...obsessing over some last few details that I honestly cannot predict...
The trip I'm taking is pretty much the same one I took back in September of last year. They have moved the days around as a fair number of folks were complaining that it was too close to GenCon to do both comfortably. I wasn't attending GenCon, so I didn't mind, but I do see their point.
Due to a number of things, I'm riding solo on this one. I *AM* going to miss my family, and our store, but going by myself, I think it will force me to be more social and actually network more. As social and gregarious as I am at a game convention, I am not the boldest person at functions like this. Despite doing this for 3+ years, I still feel like the I have *NO* idea what I am doing sometimes. I think that is what keeps me getting better, though. I haven't grown complacent yet in what I am doing, and I still want to learn more about my "chosen" field of work.
Let this be a lesson, kids. Sometimes, you find your career path... Other times, it finds you...

If I weren't heading to New Orleans next week, I would've been there with him. Well, that and having to meet inspectors at the new house Friday morning. :)
