My first rule of summer vacation is: Eat an ice cream every day. It could be bought, it can come from the freezer on boxes or on sticks – or it can be a Sun Lolly (Brain freeze). It’s a treat, sometimes days it’s a trip – other days served while watching a movie. There is also a price issue… unfortunately. Sometimes I say very sternly that it’s time for ice cream. They boys finds the stern voice it hilarious when it’s something they do like. Crazy daddy – do it again.
Remember to make your vacation days special – celebrate with treats (edible and others). Check out from work completely and let time fly. Sign out from work emails. Keep the work bosses and game bosses and bad thoughts at bay with an ice cream a day.
Conferences are for conferring – and meeting people. Looking at the coming fall season of conferences – whom of the speakers will be on your dance card for a chat. There are two columns for each conference:
What speakers have you previously met, so that they know you?
What speakers have you had contact with on twitter & blogs, so that they know you?
The list with a good portion of wish-full thinking and pixi dust, currently at 2 confirmed participation in the below conferences.
