Of Deserts, Snow, Conferences and Updates
Well, where to start? Um...
This last month has been an absolute BLUR. I started out going to the 2008 Consumer Electronics Show in early January. Had an incredibly fun time while I was there, even though I got sick ('tis the season... see below). Got home and promptly hit the ground running, work-wise. First, I became a partner in First On Scene EMS. Yep! I am co-owner of a business! Second, my work at the St. of CA has kept me incredibly busy, with prep work for 2 conventions, plus my usual work. We are talking 16-hour work days! And not just M-F. EVERY DAY... But I love it!
So, Monday Jan 28, I boarded a plane for Orange County, and ran our booth at a packaging show. Contacted A LOT of people! It was definitely worth the cost, time, and effort. By Thursday, I was exhausted, and got home after 10:30pm, due to flight delays, even though I changed my flight to an earlier time. Threw my clothes in the washer, went to bed, and got up at 4:30am to get ready for... a trip to Death Valley! We had a marathon out in Titus Canyon, and First On Scene is the EMS provider. We took the ambulance down there, and had a good time, providing EXCELLENT medical care out there. Got back LATE Sun night, threw the clothes in the washer and dryer again, and was up and gone by 4:30am yesterday to go down to pick up another ambulance we were buying (Business is picking up!). Got stuck at the Grapevine for 1.5 hours due to snow and fog (More fog than snow), then got over the hill. Picked up the new rig (well, new to us... it is a used ambulance), and headed home. Got home after midnight this morning. Got up at 5:00am, and went to yet another convention for work! Crazy schedule, huh?
So, I am here in the SF Bay area attending a conference for the next few days. I will update more when I have a chance, and will hopefully post some pics soon.
