Frustration

QuickImage Category Bitching LS 2009

Frustration is waking up at 5 am in your hotel room in a strange city dreaming about Lotusphere.

Frustration is when that dream involves presenting your session, a session that you know will be the best session you've presented.

Frustration is knowing that the session would not only be the best you've done; but be the best one at any Lotusphere, ever.

Frustration is realizing the deadline for submissions is waaaaay past, and you'll have to wait for Lotusphere 2010.

Gravatar Image1 - FIELD Curiosity := "Peaked";

Gravatar Image2 - I like your dreams better... Mine usually involve showing up at a conference, knowing I'm on the schedule to present, not having a clue as to *when* that session is to occur, and I've done absolutely NO session preparation whatsoever. :)

And yes, I've already had two of those so far.

Gravatar Image3 - @2 - I've never had a dream about being unprepared. Not wearing pants however; is a different story altogether Emoticon

Gravatar Image4 - I agree with Duffbert... I like your dreams better also!

I have two that I keep having..

1. This is a dream where everyone I know attends Lotusphere but me.

2. I'm presenting at Lotusphere, but the power supply for my laptop (the one with the stupid custom-looking plug) get's misplaced between the 1st and 2nd time I'm presenting, so I spend the whole night looking for another one while I'm afraid to turn on the laptop because it's probably only 10% power left in the battery.

Come to think of it... #2 happened! Happy ending (as you were there)... Nathan grabbed it (he was one of the presenter after me) and had it in his room! All I remember is diving over chairs to give him a hug!

I just hope that #1 never happens again...

Uh, damn! Hope to see you submit your session, have it accepted, and that I get to see it at LS'10

@1: I like that

Cheers

Gravatar Image6 - Suggest you look into the solar charger for your laptop or the backpack that charges....just in case.
