Home again
Mar. 11th, 2005 09:51 amGot back late last night (early this morning?) from this last conference.
My talk was on the last day, so lots of people weren't there either physically or mentally. The talk itself I think went pretty well, although nerves/adrenalin didn't kick in until after I started my talk, so I could hear my voice shaking. Enough people asked questions or talked to me afterwards that I felt that people were interested in my work, even if they had reservations about it. Heck, I have reservations about it. Who knows, maybe more people would have come and talked to me if I didn't have to leave almost immediately after giving my talk.
The flight back was distinguished by the lady behind me who sniffled/snorted loudly throughout the first leg of the flight, and the large gaggle of ethnically-similar people who were quiet but pushy. But it was otherwise on time and uneventful, so overall a good experience. Yay, Southwest.
Only have to travel two more times in the next month or so...
