- The work conference was good. Tiring, but good. Many people (co-workers and customers!), once they learned who I was, thanked me profusely for the monthly release notes. That was a nice morale boost, because the monthly release notes burning circus is the worst part of the job for all of the writing team.

- A cool but mildly unnerving thing: I was at one of the beverage stations in the convention, getting more iced tea, when the CEO of the company walked up to get coffee. "Hi Jillian!" he said. "How are you finding [work conference]?"

"Really interesting," I replied. "This is my first time attending, and I'm getting a lot of great information."

"That's great!" he said, then walked off with his coffee.

THE CEO KNOWS MY NAME. Okay, yes, I'm very recognizable, but STILL. (If I used emojis in DW entries, the wide-eyed shocked one would be here.)

- I flew home on Sat. morning, which required me to get up far earlier than I'm used to. I wasn't able to sleep on the flight because there were small children in every aisle around me. I always feel sorry for their parents, because it's not the fault of the kiddos for being, well, small kids. But damn, I wanted to nap.

- I did nap for three hours when I got home, and then slept for another 12 overnight. Did that ward off the post-travel migraine? Ha, it is to laugh. However, I cleverly took Monday off, and headed to the spa to soak and get a scrub (which is pretty much a full-body massage plus exfoliation). Whoooo, did I need that.

So, what did I miss? How are folks?

Yesterday I discovered a Blake's 7 discord. *heart eyes*

It's full of stashes of rare videos of the cast in other films/TV shows, scans of old zines,

as well as current live chats about the show. <3
