Uuuuum, So I think I remember how to do this...

Haven't blogged in awhile so bear with me

The basics
The flights in were good... Not GREAT... but decent.
The convention is going great so far. Classes are good... plenty to keep busy.
Got a few new tricks that I learned so that is good.

And then...
We were sitting out by the pool and talking when I looked around and laughed.
The three of us, as soon as we left the classes or the convention center we would take off our badges (because they are pretty fucking geeky looking, to be honest) but as I looked around there are all these doofuses STRUTTING around like they were wearing a frigging backstage pass (and trust me... I know what that Strut looks like) ;0)
So I asked the guys 'Is it just me... or do these guys think that that thing is a "I'm a fucking rockstar" badge or something?' I swear... some of these guys must not get out much... and a few look like they haven't gotten laid in god knows how long.
...And this just might be my cynical nature so correct me if I am wrong ladies.... But in the list of "guys that you would throw panties at"... Some random schmo at a Trucking industry based Computer convention doesn't seem like it would rate real high... Hell I may be way off base... But I think not.
SO it has been entertaining to watch... I mean you can almost smell the desperation on these guys... that and aqua velvet Limited edition "Manscent" but I suppose there probably is some horned up Trucking industry based Computer groupie.

~shudders at the thought~

Great... I am not going to Unthink that now... I will be sitting in class tomorrow and look around see some girl and think "She's a total groupie"

Vendor Whoring
I swear the Vendors love this place.... they have expense accounts .... and aren't afraid to use them!
They can justify eating the way they want as long as they are taking out clients or potential clients.... So THAT has worked in out favor.

I'll Leave you with This...
Having a good time but can't wait to get home

That is all for now I guess.

I just found out they are not going to let me go to the Atlanta conference! Al will be busy building the camp and Todd doesn't think we should go! You forgot to mention all the hookers and strippers they rent for you guys at the conventions! LOL- just kidding, Julie! We could have some fun down there one would think! Any mud puddles? Miss you, Bro- see you Thursday!
