elegant professionalism

this has been a busy time at work -- the big boss has hosted a two-day conference which means that donna bobonna and i have been taking care of getting the table set up, the food put together and laid out, and cleaning things up to get the next layout in place.

sheesh! it's been stressful and exhausting. this is only the second one of these i've been involved in and i'm glad it doesn't happen very often. got there early yesterday, stayed late yesterday in addition to the day before. my mind can't get into my other work because i have to keep being aware of the timeframe/do the next thing on this conference.

ah well -- this afternoon it will be over. donna bobonna and i will take our tablecloths, platters, bowls, flowers, napkins, placemats, and other pretties back home and relax. but the next time i'm at value village i'm going to see if there are platters/tablecloths/etc which would do that i can just leave at work rather than toting my things around.

like i said, it hasn't been horrible, just stressful. and i think if i did it often enough i'd get good at it. i'm just not sure i want to be good at it.
