My formal invitation to the World of Concrete trade show has just arrived. Its finally sinking in....
I am going to Vegas in February on my first ever business trip.
Its a daunting thought but its so exciting! I'll get to meet so many new people and I'd have to exchange so many business cards. Speaking of which, I must order some more...
There is so much to be done in terms of preparing for the trip! I have to start emailing people and setting up appointments..I have to shop for clothes. Its possibly going to wet and windy in February. WONDERFUL. Just like Singapore then. I also need to get shoes that are anti-slip so I dont fall on the streets of Vegas. Knowing me, you could put me anywhere on earth and I'd still fall flat on my ass.
The truth is, a small part of me doesnt really want to go. Whats the point since I want to switch jobs in a year right? But in all honesty, this pessimistic attitude is what spoils a lot of things for me. I know it, and yet I allow it free reign. Such self-destructive habits I do possess, precious.
Why shouldnt I go? Why shouldnt I have fun? Why shouldnt I meet new people and get new things to write about? I wont deny that the subject matter at hand is not meant for me, but writing is. This is me. At work, I am in my element. Why then, is it so hard for me to just do what I like doing? WHY do I dislike it so?
Whatever the reason, I am going for this business trip. Its fully paid for and I will go. I will make new contacts and I will leave with my head held high.
Unless my visa gets rejected of course. ;)
And no, thats not pessisism, its reality.
