Last week sucked. I took what I felt to be a really hard knock at work, and it just sucked. Possibly what sucked the most was that I learned that I am a huge crybaby, even at work, and my emotions are thoroughly capable of humiliating me in front of my boss.
Which is why this week's forthcoming events could not have come at a better time. My library is sending me to a conference! It's the PLA (Public Library Association) 2008 Conference, in Minneapolis. I am super-stoked to be going--the Midwest! cold weather! And if that were not awesome enough, I get to see one of my very good friends there!
So I am spending tonight packing, sorting through my notes, checking the weather, and trying to put behind me what was has been the shittiest week I've had in a long time. Minneapolis will be like a librarian spa retreat...maybe they'll give a workshop in how not to cry at work.
Seriously, though, it's all so adult-like. I am going to be networking...with business cards! I will be attending workshops and receptions and grilling vendors and discussing readers' advisory databases. I cannot wait!
Wow, I'm a crybaby and a nerd. Hot.
