3 Down, 1 to Go

Finished day 3 of a 4-day travel/work/conference marathon that started on Thursday.

I’d signed up to volunteer at Connecting for Change in New Bedford. In exchange, I got one day of regular attendance, which I elected to do on Friday, day 2 of the “marathon”. Tomorrow, day 4, is my volunteer day, but the conference will end at 3:30. Last Thursday, the first day of the marathon, was orientation for volunteers, and that took place after work.

Today, day 3, I attended a terrific WordCamp in Providence. Learned a lot and had my head turned around from back end to front end development.

I went back and forth on whether I had to stamina to handle four days straight. For example, I thought about taking the bus to Providence today, but the fare would have been $50 round trip. We got discounted parking, so even with the cost of gas, the trip didn’t come to nearly that much.

I thought about grabbing a hotel room or rooms, but the least expensive I found was over $50.

The weather has been great, the calm before the storm, so travel hasn’t been a problem at all.

One more to go, then I can concentrate on storm preparation.
