Today was all business. Okay, maybe not ALL business, but I didn't see any sights, so I didn't have any pics. This morning, I decided that instead of running, I would do some tai chi. First stop, the luxurious fitness center. Nope! No room for tai chi there. So far, the only thing that place has been useful for is a drink of water. I went up a floor to the conference area. One of the hospitality staff came by, so I asked him if I could do some tai chi there.
"No. We've got a group coming in here in five minutes."
Dang! They start early around here. Next, I found myself out in the car park. It is underground and had the faint smell of diesel fuel. There were comings and goings during my workout and I got some pretty strange looks.
Breakfast was pretty much the same as yesterday, but I did have the beans on toast today. I suppose I could get used to it, but nothing beats a Snickers bar and a Coke.
The remainder of the day was filled with briefings, software demos and round tables. Interestingly, none of the round tables where held around a round table, but we did have some interesting, if inconclusive discussions.
I'm currently reading a book entitled Human Interations: The Heart and Soul of Business Process Management. At the mixer after the sessions, I had a chance to meet Keith Harrison-Broninski, the author. Turns out, he loves jazz and funk. There was some overlap between our favorites, but we both have a bunch of new music to share with each other.
Tomorrow is my big day. I'm giving my presentation. I think I recruited at least two attendees, so I won't be completely alone unless they change their minds. Then, it's off to Amsterdam on the Holland Hook!
Tai Chi in a parking garage... what a wierdo!
