I had a meeting at 7 in the AM today. As you may have guessed from the fact that I am commenting on it, this is highly unusual. I watched four slightly different riffs on the same software demo for five and a half hours straight. Perhaps not surprisingly, I drank way too much coffee. Here's what I remember:
6:45 - Best parking spot of my career.
7:00 - Enter the meeting, wondering why in the name of all that is just there's no coffee.
8:00 - Done sucking down the instant coffee I brought from home. Nervous about the future.
9:00 - Session 1 ends. Coffee has arrived. Take back all the awful things I thought about the meeting organizer. Okay, almost all.
10:00 - I make a bet with myself to see if I can hold still for five minutes. Forget about the bet completely fifteen seconds and three pants adjustments later.
10:03 - Remember the bet. Wonder what I've been doing with my hands. Peer over my shoulder anxiously to see just exactly who now knows I'm a complete lunatic.
10:06 - Can no longer even pretend to hold still. Try breathing deeply to relax. Begin to have difficulty keeping my eyes open. Start holding my breath, unsure if I was holding it before.
10:10 to noon - No idea.
12:10 - Note that the time passes faster when I breathe deeply. Wonder if that means I was asleep.
12:25 - Bolt.
Look on my posts, ye mighty, and despair.
