…so stop asking!

I don’t have time to go to AGC this year and I tend to only attend industry conferences when I have a concrete reason for going to that conference (speaking, looking to meet particular people there, or feeling that there’s valuable information to be gained that I’m not likely to be able to grab off the net or by just asking the speaker directly later). General networking is always valuable and I sometimes even enjoy it, but it typically loses out to getting actual work done. Perhaps someday when we’re willing/able to spend money on things like a secretary and an operations manager that isn’t just me I’d feel better about taking the time off to go to more conferences, but for now, I hang at Iron Realms HQ, also known as my home office. Besides, Nixon would miss me if I left.
