oh how the mighty fall...
ok... so i said there was a conference this week. the cynical staff here has been debating whether management overinflated or overestimated the numbers of people who were coming.
under 70 people registered, according to the website. some of those were retirees and some were vendors. i didnt have to drive (hooray) to the golf outing, so I dont know how many went there -- but it had some unregistered retirees.
i just talked to the chauffeur for the shopping excursion. well, one of them. turns out they only needed one, because only 2 out of 8 people showed up. and so we didnt need to rent the 15 passenger van.
and of course, our tech guy who went over to help vendors set up? 3 out of 20some vendors had actually showed up before lunch, when they were supposed to all arrive by 10am. who knows what it will be like tomorrow.
also, the map for the vendor area was not clear as to who was setting up where. maybe they just all got lost, but methinks they all mightve decided not to show up today.
