TechEd at San Diego

Decided (a while back) to go to the TechEd confenrence at San Diego, CA. My company was not sending me so I decided to go on my own. They were nice enough to give me free admission to the conference. Signed up for duties at our team's booth for two afternoons. My first such conference. I am reasonably excited about it. Most of the other people who are going are PMs. I am the only developer from our team.

Got called in late last night for some last minute issues with the Demo. Finally got things working at 3 am. Got to work at noon, and again was called over to the other building for a couple of hours. Seems like I have paid my dues before going to the conference :-)

My spouse is not very happy at work. Slogs like crazy, feels she does not get appreciated. Was advising her to change jobs. No point busting your butt and not getting recognition for it.
