Back

It's Monday morning and I'm back from a business conference. I must say I had a pretty good time. I met the people I worked with for the first time. Since I work online I've known some of these people for 10 years now without actualy having a face or a voice (other than rare phone sessions) to put with a person. So it was nice for all of us to get together and just get to know each other.

The company brought all of us together and we even toured the main campus. That was pretty cool even though I pity the poor fools who work in the building. It's one endless maze of cubicles and the company store is pretty expensive. $56 for a shirt that I could have gotten for $10 at k-mart. The only difference? The company logo was on it. Oh boy ... lol. Cheap bastards! :)

One thing a lot of people had that I'm thinking of getting is the AOL Mobile Communicator. I'm not sure of the price but it's like a blackberry for AOL. You can get e-mail and IMs for it. Since we use AOL quite a bit for what we do, it's an awesome little thing and I'm considering saving for it so I can have e-mail and IMS when I'm on the road, or when I'm, oh, you know, all the way at a big conference and I've forgotten my laptop ... AGAIN. D'oh. Thank god they had a computer lab set up for us.

Anyway, about to go return the rental car. Blogging again soon.
