Can't Wait for this Conference to be Over

I had a bad dream last night that I forgot to introduce some of our Water Industry Speakers and I screwed up the whole conference.  That's not even my role in the conference!  I can't wait until this is is over.  Next week is going to be hell.  Not only do we have the conference, but it is also our busy season, so we will swamped with earnings and post-conference items as well.  Ugh.

I am a moderator for a panel, which is pretty cool.  Really a chance for me to get visible in the space and make a name for me with some of our clients... big stepping stone - NO PRESSURE!

Yesterday, my boss informed me that she is wearing a ballgown to the dinner we are hosting (for 130 guests) on Monday night.  She figures it is her/our conference, and she's going to strut her stuff - she is encouraging me to do the same.  Apparently, last year, she wore a long black velvet gown.  So, looks like I need to go shopping this weekend.  I was just planning on wearing a pencil skirt and a blouse.  I don't have anything in my closet that fits the bill (nothing that even comes close!)  Would have been nice to know this earlier... oh well.
