Today was my first introduction to the trade show that my company puts on. Since I was a “virgin” they decided I should work Badge Check. My job was to only let in those who had badges… not a hard job at all, but 12 hours of standing on concrete doesn’t do anything nice for my feet.
I will say this, the show itself was amazing. I’ve never been to anything like it before. I was told that although we had thousands show up, next time will be bigger. Wow.
After show they put on an open house here at the new offices and invited all attendees to show up, so I decided to come and protect my office aquariums from all the now liquered up patrons (kegs + unlimited martinis downstairs = danger). Nothing happened, thank goodness.
All in all it was great, though I may never walk again…. except when part 2 happens tomorrow.
I’ve arrived back in NE after a drive from Hell. I’ve never seen roads so foggy in all my life! I’m honestly just glad to get back to somewhere with a decent internet connection. There’s no way GMail should take more than 60 seconds to open up. Ugh!
If you couldn’t tell, I’m still stuck in NoDak. Long story short, never hire an electrician to do a network guy’s work. Anywho, it’s time for bed… hopefully I’ll be back in NE tomorrow. 
Today I continue my preparations for my trip to North Dakota. My company is opening two new stores there and as part of the IT dept, I need to be there to make sure everything runs correctly.
I haven’t been to ND for about 7 or 8 years now… I wonder if it’s changed much. Oh well, I got much more to do and not much time to do it in. My next post will probably be from Fargo, brrr, I get chills just thinking about it.
I just wanted to say congratulations to John and Jessie, who just got married today! I helped take some of the pictures and if there are any good ones I’ll have to throw them on here.
