Note
Flight home last night was delayed a little out of Buffalo, and then sat on the ground in DC as well, both on the plane and on the shuttle bus. Thank goodness I didn't have to sit next to the guy that the people in the two rows ahead of me were buzzing about, apparently he stunk something awful.
And, after ~10 nights with about 2-4 hours of sleep each night, I crashed last night and slept until 10:30. Good thing I already had the day off.
It was a very fun weekend inn BFLO-land. Just the right mix of helping out and hanging out. Cool being able to get the results up from the meet site using my phone's personal hotspot.
A couple of painful parts, one being the Saturday night dinner. Against my better judgment, I decided to go with the QOC group to a place in Springville. OK, I really like all of the QOC group present, but I shuddered at the thought of a big group dinner, but I decided to go along anyway. There were 12 of us to start and four more later. The room they put us in was perfect - all to ourselves and plenty of space. Music was a little too loud though, despite a request to lower it.
Sadly, despite the lack of clientele in the rest of the place (a sign perhaps), the service was painfully slow. Took two hours. Ugh! Thank goodness the company was excellent. And, since I had an empty chair next to me, I got some rotating conversation without having to scream down the length of the table.
Ice cream across the street after. The very tasty and generous <$2.00 ice cream cone worked wonders. After 9:30 before we got back to the hotel, though I guess that didn't matter because I wasn't going to sleep too much anyway.
A group lunch was offered up on Sunday. I politely declined and had my mini ravioli out of a can instead. :)
