My nose is running...and I must stop it!

Last week was incredibly busy. Tuesday through Thursday, I went to a lovely little convention for game designer type folks. Also attending was the general manager for our company; we were both surprised to see the other there and fortunately, she's a woman because I wouldn't have noticed her initially except that she emerged into the throng from the ladies' room which caught my eye. :-)

I'm glad she was there. I didn't know anyone who was going, for not even my persuasive female charms could get Broos to this convention (although retrospectively, it's probably better that way as he's now so busy himself :-( Poor Broos and Suz!) so I foresaw nights of room service dinners in my room. With our GenMgr there, however, I ended up being whisked around and introduced to people I'd never have met otherwise. Including a couple of important fellows who are working on Sims Online. Muahahahaha! It pays to mention an obsession!

Our first day-long session was together, and then we went to dinner with about 15 other people from all sorts of other online games. She and I went to breakfast meetings and it was nice to sit down and chat with her, as I've never actually spent time with her before this. I got some insight into why our little game is set up the way it is, too, so all is good.

Meanwhile, Rob was languishing at home and had a cable modem installed. Not without some issues, of course, as the cable guy had to come back on Saturday to finish it up -- and even then it took us four calls to customer service to get everything in place. But at least now I'm on with those blazing speeds promised!

He ran over a dead skunk on route to the airport to pick me up Thursday night, so now the Eclipse smells horrible. Heh!

All right, now I must go and exercise. It is my new resolution to use that darned Orbitrek and work off a few of my newlywed pounds. I hope everyone has a lovely week!

Thinking of you, Corey. ::hug::
