In reply to Not well. Huge week ahead., posted by pegasus on May 22, 2004, at 17:29:36
Thanks to everyone for your support and encouragement for my really tough week. It's all over, and I'm taking Friday off to help recover.
It wasn't pretty, and I'm exhausted, but I made it. My talks went well, except for at one point I gave the wrong talk! I had so many to give, and I just got mixed up about the timing and topics. And no one said anything until the end! Doh! I felt really stupid and apologized profusely, and then gave the missed talk later (to a packed room, so that was good).
At the schmooze fest I positioned myself in a safe-feeling corner, and just focused on being friendly. At one point my CEO was standing next to me and a bunch of people came up and told me how much they appreciated my workshop on Monday, and how clear my explanations were, and that they really apprecated it all. So that was excellent. My CEO tends to not recognize me much. (Today he sent an email to everyone about what a great job we'd done at this conference, and he mentioned my *boss* but not me!)
Thanks again everyone for your helpful words. It would have been a lot harder without you.
