SKO Day 2: I Won! Again!

Day 2 of our sales kickoff (SKO) summit in Las Vegas went well. The program continued to be well run with an appropriate amount of content and enough (today occasionally just enough) flare to the presentations to keep people engaged. But the best news came at the evening's awards dinner. I won President's Club. Again.

"Again" is because I won "club" last year, too. This year I was named as SE of the Year for North America.

This caps another year in which I've often been unsure how well my contributions are recognized and appreciated. I'm pleased with the win.

Home from Vegas. Not Traveling to Phoenix.

I flew home this morning from a 3 day business trip in Las Vegas. I'd say it was an easy day work-wise... or at least the first half of it was, because there was thankfully no Day 3 program to the SKO. We finished up after Day 2, Thursday night. Today (Friday) has been more than just a travel day, though. After getting home at 1pm I had fairly steady work until 5pm, including two customer meetings. At this point I am worn out from the week.

Because I was already feeling worn out this morning, I canceled the weekend trip Hawk and I planned to Phoenix. It wasn't fully planned, anyway. We had bookings and the start of a plan for what to do in Phoenix. Without a clear plan for what to do I never felt fully committed to it. And seeing how worn out I am today I'm glad to not bother. Getting up tomorrow morning at 5am for a 7:25am flight would've been not-fun!
