So when I met up with Dr. C and Flavia this year, it was totally like old friends, who I'd only really met, like one time. So I'll be extra stoked to meet you next year, or whenever, when we can say, "Oh, we go way back!"<BR/><BR/>If I don't see you around, have a great rest-of-conference!<BR/><BR/>Oh, and by the way, I haven't seen the pit this year, but the two years I had pit interviews, there were no lovely curtain dividers, so all you could see was a sea of interviewing. Once I got to the tables, everything was fine, but before that, pretty crazy.Horacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15662740021328265642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7366909960546184927.post-756260898295349292007-12-28T13:02:00.000-08:002007-12-28T13:02:00.000-08:00Spot on about the Hyatt.

The lobby's at the bottom of this giant atrium, and all of the rooms have little glassed-in balconies looking out into it. So you can sit down there for an hour, like I did, watching the job candidates fret outside their interview rooms checking their watches every 15 seconds until it's time to knock on the doors and go in. It's a marvelous tonic for the nerves. Really.heu mihihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08529298049179816825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7366909960546184927.post-37256045569576111752007-12-28T11:20:00.000-08:002007-12-28T11:20:00.000-08:00I'm sorry I missed the blogger meet up!
