[m i a o w] the cat

I am leaving in about 15 minutes to be driven to Brisbane with Lisa and Dennis, leaving behind M, Saf and Mow I am very sad to be leaving, as I thought I would be up here until we moved down to Melbourne, however, my boss had other ideas. I leave Brisbane tomorrow for Perth and this stupid conference, where yet again I will know no one and know nothing. Lisa has suggested I take up smoking for the duration so I have an excuse to race outside a couple of times an hour and escape. I can’t believe I’m seriously considering it. Gah. There is no hotel booked, that I can discover - and of course, my boss knows nothing about anything. I give up. Bye. Expect some mournful I-am-a-social-incompetent posts from the west…

I hate conferences for that very reason - I am always the wallflower. More and more I just go to the sessions I absolutely have to and find something else to do for the rest of the time. Must be something to do in Perth.

Ah ha! Two empathisers!! I feel much better. I am such a social mutant - I get out of whatever I can, and dread getting stuck with ‘experts’ who expect me to [gasp] actually know stuff. Robert, I would have tracked you down if I had a spare moment - you could of been the imaginary friend I keep telling my boss that I have in Perth, in the hope that he’ll say “Oh - maybe you’d like to catch up with that friend of yours on Sunday, instead of hanging out with me…”
I’m still hoping.
