Smoozing Conference
Tomorrow, I have to attend an Everglades Restoration Symposium & Exhibition. It sounds very environmentally noble, but that isn't why I am being sent there. My boss thinks that we might get a piece of the action. I think that is highly unlikely. We are an engineering and construction company that focuses on buildings & roadways. There are many environmental companies in this state, so what could we offer?
I know I am the marketing person, but I hate smoozing. Actually, I am quite reserved when it comes to strangers. I would rather listen than talk. Plus, I prefer to come up with a networking plan & send someone else off to execute it. I can usually get away with it too, because of all of the technical aspects of this business. Now that I have over burdened the company with new work, I have to start smoozing for the future. YUCK!
I am doing my best to motivate myself into going, especially since it is an all day conference and an hour and a half away. How can I do that??? Well, it is right across the street from one of my favorite shopping/boutique areas. I am hoping I can sneak out during some of the boring parts to stroll around and dream about spending money I don't have. Pretty Pathetic….

This blog is like a journal for me. It is also a way for my friends to keep tabs on me.
For people who don't know me, I come from a big family (3 brothers & 1 sister). We moved around a LOT, so I am not really from one particular place. I like to call Katy, Texas my home though.
Recent news, my Dad & Mother-in-Law were diagnosed with Terminal Cancer in April/May of 2005. My dad passed away 5-Dec-05 .
