Realm: Conference - Subrealm: NAGCR AGM, Days 1&2
Yesterday I worked from home all morning, then hauled butt into town for the AGM, where I
- Adjusted the AC
- Brought the Visitors' Book down from the tower, on the (accurate) assumption that the tower was gonna be a mob scene later
- Helped unload a ringing simulator built out of 2x4s and weighted wheels
- Let in two German tourists to look at the church
- Helped E.H. put All The Food into various fridges and other spaces
- Helped unload, and then later set up, a miniring
- Bought beer for the picnic
- Met/Hung out with various awesome people*
- Directed various attendees as to where they were supposed to go
- Served as doorguard for a bit
- Said evening prayer with [Church Regular]--not AGM-related, though going on at the same time...
- Rang on the miniring--though unfortunately nothing exciting.
- Dealt with various crises. (Or in one case, attempted to deal with it but was too braindead to actually deal with it effectively, so our wonderful co-Conchair figured out a solution.)
- Had late-night Thai food, per usual, exc. with about five times the usual number of people...
- Had the person who'd nearly been my houseguest drive me and my ACTUAL houseguest home. Yay, almosthouseguest! I hope that the Berkshires are good to you.
Today everybody is on the Cape, at a tower which is lovely in every way but where I have been many times before; so I am at work.
Also, I have just realized that if this is a con, I should just accept that con-things apply, namely that
I am going to spend this time: Eating too much snack food, skipping meals, eating meals twice, possible drinking more booze than is wise, definitely drinking too much coffee, trying to use coffee as a substitute for sleep, taking a "You can sleep during Lent" attitude, not exercising properly, trying to lift too much weight, and spending more money than would perhaps be ideal.
* Somebody who I didn't recognize, from some tower I'd never been within a thousand miles of (Vancouver?), swore she knew me from somewhere; which might be, or might be the same sort of memory-playing-tricks-on-you that caused me to think that I knew a former Boston ringer from Arisia, when in fact she'd never been...
