Seminar in Adelaide

So, I'm in Adelaide at a seminar my company sent me to.

I was lucky enough to squeeze into it because the project tends to be quite busy, so I was happy fo find myself on the 09.30 flight from Perth to Adelaide.

The seminar welcomed around 30 people from all around Australia who are involved into Indigenous issues (I won't go into detail or I might get googled). That means there's an abundance of people to observe, find weird and, finally, keep finding weird.

- Mentos munchers

- heavy breathers

- lazy walkers (those who take a taxi to the restaurant)

- common courtesy ignorers (it might be mi, but yawning with your mouth open is never polite)

- vibration refusers (and even after their phone rings, they don't set it on vibration)

- sketching addicts (those show some talents at least)

- nail biters (in close relation to the Mentos munchers)

- close talkers

- do-you-mind-if-I-join-youers

- high pitchers

- loud talkers

- table shakers

- back turners

- I-don't-give-a-shit-about-thisers

and many, many more.

In the end, after meeting some of them, I realized they're OK and that we all have our own little things.

I wonder what they dubbed me...

Workshops, discussions, role plays...

Hello, South Australia!

It looks like I'm going to Adelaide next week.

My office is sending me out for a seminar, so I'll be taking off on Monday and flying back on Friday. Considering the fact that I haven't even been here for two full weeks, and that my calendar is already alarmingly full (don't forget I have my 4WD course on Thursday), I kind of get an image of what life - or better put, work - is going to be.

It was all sorted within 15 minutes, like it usually is here. I got into the course, got my room booked (in the same hotel where the seminar takes place) and that was it. I could even pick my flight!

So, preparations shmeparations. I'm off!
