Networking

[fauxklore]

Conversation I had over breakfast at the hotel with a guy from my company who works in Colorado was significantly more useful than my 8 o'clock meeting, though the latter gave me a few ideas on things I should work on (and a question to ask at my 3 o'clock).

It reminds me that the only real downside to my job is being the only person from the company there. I do have a lot of phone and email contact, but the serendipitous meetings don't happen so much.
