Yesterday I could have had breakfast at a conference. Not just scones or small sandwiches (the usual conference food), but scrambled eggs and bacon, sausages or fresh crescent rolls with butter and jam. I could eat them at a decent table, covered with immaculate, white tablecloth. Too bad I had breakfast at the metro station — since I work from 8 in the morning, I got used to it. So I only had a cup of tea, and some fresh orange juice later.
Truth to be told, I seriously doubt that serving a large breakfast like this really increase the effectiveness of a conference. On the contrary: sometimes it seemed to me that the participants are more interested in the food than in the topics discussed. However, I, who is still not a burned-out professional, but someone who has still much to learn, really enjoyed that much less people felt it necessary to ask stupid questions or make even stupider comments than usual.
It was the first real (serveral page long) test for my new Stabilo ’s move pen I got from V. a few weeks ago. (This was the very first thing I wanted to get because of an ad I saw on the street.) Since I make most of my notes on my laptop, I very rarely have to opportunity to write by hand, but I am still much into well-designed pens. And I just can’t stop love this one.
