Post-con recovery....
Feb. 18th, 2014 07:00 amBoskone is done and everything is out of the hotel. I still have a bunch of con suite boxes to go through at the nesfa clubhouse to remove all the food items from them so they will not attract bugs or critters in storage for the next 51 weeks. Most of my personal gear is back home and unloaded, and I have a load of dirty wash cloths to run through the laundry and bring back to NESFA.
It was a very long and exhausting weekend for me. This year my minion-fu failed me. I was unable to recruit people ahead of time to work the con suite. Thus I was waking up at way too early in the morning to get into the hotel each day to start the coffee, and staying way late to take care of things until close to midnight. I may reconsider my decision to boycott sleeping in this hotel. I will try to recruit more folks to work on the con suite, but historically, I am not very good at that.
Beverage consumption was noticeably lower this year. LEss soda pop consumed, but more coffee and tea, I think. Partly I'll attribute this to the storm thursday and saturday impacting our attendance, and the hotel air not being as dry as previous years.
I got home yesterday in the early afternoon, and had to unload my van so I could carry the broken snowblower to the repair shop. Once those tasks were done, I sat in the easy chair and caught up with my parents, and listened to the electrolux salesman delivering a new (EXPENSIVE!) vacuum cleaner to my parents. Then I retired to my bed where I slept for about 15 hours. Now the alarm clock is going off and I have to go back to the day jobbe.
