So, last week I was at HP Software Universe. With the Practical Software Quality and Testing conference, the SANs web security summit, HPSU marked my 3rd trip to vegas in 6 weeks and my 5th business trip in 7 weeks. Needless to say after yet another week in Vegas I was absolutely exhausted.

Only then I got word that I needed to take a day trip straight from Vegas to Seattle on Friday to meet with an extra special customer. They were doing an internal security conference and wanted me to speak. So, I mustered up, flew out of Vegas at 8am, spent the day with the customer, got some dinner with them, went to my hotel, crashed, and flew out first thing the next morning. All having been in Seattle for less than 24 hours.

And then the calls and texts began. "Why didn't you call me?" "Billy, where's the love?" "WTF man?"

First of all, damn you guys have crazy spies. I specially didn't tell anyone about my trip so avoid this very thing. Second, to my Seattle Homies, I'm truly sorry I didn't hang out with you all or let you know I was coming. Travel's been kicking my ass and as much as I wanted to go to Queen Sheba and hang at Public N3rd Area, I would have been poor company. I should be back soon and can make it all up to you all, [ducks pillow], serious I promise [throws pillow].

So you all can stop harassing me now :-)
