I am planning to go to a work conference in a few days. It has been a long, long time since I a) went anywhere on my own; b) attended a conference... I used to go to all types of science conference back in my grad school days (but that was different, and I was different, and the world was different).
A couple of years ago, I attended a virtual conference - that was great! I didn't have to travel, or dress up, or talk to anyone.
And now - real-life conference, and I'll be required to look professional and have serious conversations with grownups.
This will probably be a good learning opportunity. I mean, publication planning - that's kind of part of what I do... sort of... A bunch of people from work are going, including Big Boss.
I like writing. I don't like the business side of things or the strategic side of things. Or, G-d forbid, networking.
Can't I just hide under a table somewhere???
/Why or why did I agree to this???/
