Unexpected Anaheim Convention Center Hotel Diversion
My business travel schedule had me staying in Seattle and then flying directly to Illinois. The game plan was that I’d stay in Washington until Monday morning, fly to Midway, check-in, and be ready for meetings on Tuesday, early a.m.
Unfortunately, a co-worker has come down with something and she’s not able to make it to Orange County to man (er, woman?) the booth at an event happening at the Anaheim Convention Center Hotel.
Instead of having a fun filled weekend in the Seattle, Washington area, I get to work it all. And then I get to take a red eye from Orange County airport to Chicago. Ugh.
Okay, maybe I’m over reacting to the change of plans. I really do enjoy being at the conferences; talking with the expo attendees as well as other businesses hawking their wares. While it is exhausting mentally and physically, almost every time I attend these types of events I get a sort of super charged after effect.
And in a bit of irony, I literally just received an email from a very old friend of mine that lives in Fullerton. When I knew her she was staying in Dana Point, which is much further south and along the California coast. Apparently her work needed her to base herself out of their offices in the new industrial park off Orangethorpe and Acacia.
Oh, it’s ironic because when I discovered I was taking this weekend assignment, I actually flashed on her and wondered what she might be up to now. Because Dana Point is so far south from the convention center I just figured it wasn’t going to happen so why try.
Now I’m a firm believer that your thoughts get put out into the ether and the universe acts on them. In mysterious ways, apparently
