Apparently the only thing more chill than going to a Sales Conference is going to one when you're not actually on the sales team. I did my 5 minute presentation, had zero questions, and now I'm completely at leisure and it's only 3pm.

I always hear that in my mother's voice, given how fond she was of Where The Wild Things Are. For as much as I consistently refuse to go Home Again, I really need to reckon with the fact that it's not just me that pays the cost of that decision.
