I have said it before, and I will say it again............I write this blog for my personal pleasure. And personal pleasure is something that I haven't had too much of lately. I still love my job, but the more I have done it, the more I find that I should be doing............I am logging 12 to 16 hours a day 4-7 days a week, and that doesn't even begin to take in to account the work stuff that I do on my own time. I have seen a lot of this great United States, and have met some very cool people. One of which was Katherine.
I met Katherine last Monday. Katherine was a guest speaker at a conference that I was working. She is 37 years old. I had gone to bed at around 7:30 on Sunday night, so I woke up wide awake at 3:50. After taking a nice leisurely shower, taking extra time with my hair and makeup, and then watched the early early local news. I was downstairs in the coffee shop a little before 6.
I had only briefly met her the day before when I met her in the lobby of the hotel to make sure she got checked in, so I was surprised when she came up to my table and asked to join me. We chatted over breakfast (which she refused to let me buy), and continued chatting as we drank mocha's out by a fountain smoking cigarette after cigarette.
We only stopped when I had to excuse myself to meet some people at the conference. As I walked away, she grabbed my hand and asked if she could see me later. I said yes, called her so she had my number in her phone and left.
It was 7ish when she called me and asked if I wanted to join her for dinner. I politely declined because I had just had a salad delivered with room service, but told her that I would be interested in having a couple of drinks if that were okay.
