That’s what you get for waking up in Vegas…

Here’s what I did, learned, and observed in Vegas last week (at least the parts I can tell you, tee-hee!):

Did:

• Attended a work-related conference
• Presented a session at that conference
• Killed my BlackBerry battery twice doing conference calls with work
• Stayed indoors for about 2.5 days straight
• Talked to strangers
• Won $29 at craps at my favorite cheap casino
• Introduced strangers to my favorite cheap casino
• Drank a glass of grape-juice-like wine from a juice glass at my favorite cheap casino

Learned:

• We may or may not need to undergo a major or not-so-major project to comply with new accounting standards
• There are people in the US (actual grownups over the age of 30!) who have never eaten oatmeal
• Ginormous baked potatoes are a truly shocking site for people who live east of the Mississippi
• Sargento is a much smaller company than I would have thought! 

Observed:

• Being in Vegas right around Halloween, it’s a little challenging to tell who is wearing a costume, and who is just going to work.
• When the weekend plans involve replacing a bathroom floor and toilet, it might be a good idea to stay in Vegas.
