Up last night packing for conference. Manage to pack stuff in more-or-less portable fashion. Still waiting receipt of large poster & handouts, but will manage somehow.
Arrive at work today to find email saying "we need you to take some stuff to the conference". Inquire, fool that I am, and am given large and weighty stack of programmes. It is about the same size as a large laptop, and if anything a bit heavier, so they thoughtfully give me a laptop bag to carry it in.
Recall reading about how common theft of laptops is at airports. Make mental note to bounce through LA and Salt Lake City airports singing "Oh, my, what a lovely laptop I've got!" and take long naps while sitting on all other baggage.
Receive phone call. "Sorry, we meant to give you more stuff to take. We'll drop the rest by later."
Ah well. I'm looking forwards to this conference, but I will be soooo glad when all the pre-conference mucking about is done. Especially since I may yet end up carrying a laptop as well as the pseudo-laptop I've already got.
