I'm finally recovered from my weekend and working on Business stuff again.
Thursday & Friday, I was volunteering at OryCon 43 at Jantzen Beach - I'm good friends with the person who's in charge of the vendors and have helped as a volunteer there for...3 years now?
Thurs & Fri both ended up being 8-hour days, with a cumulative total of 20,000 steps walked. Add in the hour plus bus ride to and from, and I was exhausted by the end of Friday. (And then I needed to donate plasma on Saturday.)
I wish I could have been there for more of the actual con, but I do always enjoy volunteering at the vendor registration table. I hand out badges (or more often, apologize for not having badges), answer questions, and show vendors where their table/booth space is. There's usually a mix of strangers, vendor friends, and somewhat familiar faces. Plus, I get to learn about new businesses I've never heard of (which generally has a nice helping of LGBTQ+ content).
As usual, I'm glad I wasn't the boss, but things seemed to go smoothly and most of the vendors were very understanding about hiccups that happened.
If I remember later, I'll try and post some of the info I grabbed from vendors that interested me. I grabbed one business card specifically for @friend-crow.
