Just a Day
I am officially boring. Really - I guess it was there all the time, just waiting for me to admit it out loud.
Here I am, in Vegas, a beautiful resort, and I was in bed at 8:30 Vegas time. So tired I couldn't keep my eyes open. Geesh. I wonder if AARP goes by how old you FEEL vs what your birth certificate says?
Yesterday was a long day. I was up at 5:00 central time, mainly because since I'm leaving tomorrow I don't want to screw up my sleep pattern too much. Anyway - back to back to back meetings. All Day.
I do have to admit I love this set up. Vendors have a room. We set it up with our product and have a nice conference table and the buyers rotate through. Appointments last 20 minutes. And they are strict about that. So - yeah, it's hectic, but you get a lot done. The best part is I'm not standing in a booth for 10-12 hours all day. THAT is much better!
I also understand what they meant about being busy when we get back. Holy cow. I have 2 really hot leads I'm not even going to wait for. I'm in the process of sending that stuff out today. WooHoo. Let me tell you, in this type of sales - 2 new accounts in a week is something to celebrate.
And tonite I will celebrate. We're heading out to the strip. It will be our first good meal since we got here (the food is the only bad part about this place) and then.....people watching. I might even gamble just a bit.
Cause I'm in Vegas damnit. In what, I will tell you, is the nicest place (other than the food) that I've ever stayed at. I was sitting here this morning, as my coffee was delivered, thinking I really should have a "good" reason for being this tired. I wish I were sitting here telling you Tammi Tales of Mischief. Stories of things I've seen and heard. But I doubt there will be any from this trip. And the bad part is I keep thinking I'll be doing this again next week. Every time I start to relax I realize I need to save my strength for that.
Well, there you have it. I, Tammi, am boring. But right I'm too tired to do anything about that right now. Maybe next month. Next month I'll play.
