I went to the Successful Consulting and Contracting networking breakfast this morning, having been invited by friend Antoinette Leong of Indaba Design, who took the two-week program last summer and, like all the other program grads I've met, had nothing but good things to say about it. For more information on SCC, check out this link: http://www.goconsult.ca/.
I'm so glad Antoinette was there; also very glad we ran into Edel Walsh, another SCC and self employment program grad from my group.
Sadly, it seems you can dress me up but you can't really take me anywhere. At least, not that early in the morning (I got up at 5:30 to get downtown for 8:30 as I had some work to finish off before I left the house). The muffins were great but it took a while for me to get some coffee - and I had barely had two sips of it when I knocked my mug over and soaked the front of my jacket with it. Luckily it was a double-breasted jacket so the coffee didn't go through to my shirt, nor was it hot enough to do any damage. Also fortuitously, it was great coffee and it smelled really good. Why haven't they invented any coffee-flavoured colognes? Why should vanilla have the field all to itself? I'm not so sure others share my enthuasiasm for coffee cologne though. Between the din and the crowds and suddenly being sopping wet, I just wanted to escape.
Which is a shame, because ordinarily the best parties are the ones where you know no one - or next to no one. Better luck next time. Invite me to your party - I just might show up.
