I tried to be early, but you know, I needed a nap after making breakfast for my 7th graders or else I may fall asleep on the wheel. I got to the tailend of the presentation of one company that I got to interview.

I could have doubled the number of stories I produced from this two-day conference but I’m just not up to it. There is no incentive to do so.

I went to Ikea, which is just across SMX where the conference was, to have lunch and work. The restaurant there is huge so it’s less embarassing for me if I stay there for hours to finish work than compared to, let’s say, a coffee shop. I just stayed by the window so I would be away from people energy and I could write and edit with less distractions.

That’s the thing, it’s embarassing to work nowadays in coffee shops because people will get annoyed since I had been hogging the table near the electrical outlet for hours. It’s not that I want to; it’s just when I write or edit, I’m so deep into my thoughts that I’m really not conscious of time passing by so fast.
