Ten days to BlizzCon…

by elizabeth on August 11, 2009

It’s ten days to BlizzCon, twenty-three days to Dragon*Con, thirty-five days to GDC Austin. This, ladies and gents, is convention season. BlizzCon will be all work all the time (pfft, sleep), Dragon*Con will be half work and half play (at least — perhaps more on the play side), and GDC is all work but with less expectation of major news (thus less work, less stress, but still several days away from other things).

Work-wise, we’re neck-deep in BlizzCon planning and prep, which seems to be sidelining plenty of other equally necessary work. Alas, there are still only 24 hours in the day with which to accomplish things. When I’m back from BlizzCon I’ll have a pile of resumes to review (always fun, but they all start to blur together after the first fifty or so).

Fortunately Dragon*Con is half-vacation and after I’m taking off to stay with friends in Nashville for a week (including my birthday). I’ll be back home just in time for the first day of GDC, so it’ll all be about hitting the ground running.

I am not a hat person

by elizabeth on August 8, 2009


But now I have a corporate hat.

Really, I don’t mind either way, but I’m not much for larking about with logos on.

However, in this case hats (apparently) have been handed out at corporate HQ. I’m a work-from-home-er and would have difficulty caring less about this, but my boss’ boss inquired as to whether all of us had also gotten hats. When he discovered we had not, a few words were said about how off-site employees are employees and everyone should be treated the same, hats and all. I must admit, the speech made me feel a bit warm and fuzzy. Now that I have a hat, the whole affair makes me feel somewhat obligated to wear it.

So here I am. Wearing a hat. Hmm.
