Gah. Lost post. Stupid slipping key command finger things.

I'm trade show girl at the moment -- thank you, Jane. You can read what I've written here by searching on my name. Some of this radiology stuff is seriously cool. (Some, alas, is not. Woe is me for giving up caffeine all those years ago...)

Perks of trade shows: Occasional cool giveaways (a Belgian company gave out little boxes of chocolate with its press kit). A press card. Free meals (I even got a business dinner with Jane last night at the Weber Grill reastaurant. Thank you again, Jane.). Cool people. Big flashy booth things. Clips. Getting paid.

Not-so-great-things: Actually getting up at the same time everyone else does. Sore feet (not for me -- I'm Press Conference Girl, and therefore only go between the news room and the press conference room.) Press conferences that do not, in fact, have anything even remotely resembling news. Being surrounded by people talking medicalese. Not actually seeing the outdoors -- or even a window -- for 8 hours at a time. Having to smile and look pretty -- or at least professional -- when I'd much rather snarl and look surly.

The getting paid part still wins, though.

Have I mentioned that Jane rocks? Thank you, Jane.
