I didn't get to go to the cherry trees today. At the last minute (today) my boss decided to take very seriously a presentation tomorrow. Not that it isn't important, it's a good business opportunity for the office and one of our guys in particular. But it's not a 2 hour presentation. Maybe half an hour, tops. It isn't worth spending a whole day writing a presentation from scratch. Time much better spent on formulating a strategy to follow-up the audience members, to turn participants into clients. And if even if you want to ignore my sage advice, the day before the event isn't the best time to be doing this. Which is bad enough, as things I got yelled at for yesterday got swept off the table to make way for the presentation. But as I'm closing up my desk, I get some last minute tasks to get ready for tomorrow. Hunched over the copier, I watched the light recede into sunset. Maybe I'll get lucky tomorrow and the storm will head South.
