Lotusphere came to us! Introducing my new scale of tiredness.

Well, Lotusphere came to us with a vengance this week! Wembley on Tuesday, and Manchester on Thursday. Both events were very well attended and I heard good things form our customers about the sessions. I, of course, was manning the stand all day - so saw none of it. Then again, there wasn't much for us to learn
It's been a fun week meeting up with existing customers, old contacts, new contacts and a generally nice bunch of people over those two days. My travel this week though has left me (and Paul) 'Lotusphere' tired*. I have therefore invented a new scale of tiredness. It's a little like the richter scale, going like this:
Saturday tired - not tired at all
Sunday tired - a little tired. Slow start, but generally OK
Monday tired - quite tired. lack of sleep showing
Tuesday tired - really quite tired. Taking a really big effort to get out of bed. Occasional nodding off.
Wednesday tired - very tired now. Having to consciously think about most things. Planning (slowly) how to get through the day
Thursday tired - ridiculously tired. Actually wondering how you are still awake. Having to think about focusing now.
Friday tired - dead. Or as near as.
Currently, I'm somewhere near Wednesday tired. I've driven from Edinburgh->Derbyshire->Nottingham->Hatfield->Luton->Wembley->Luton->Hatfield->Reading->Manchester->Toddington, then tomorrow Toddington->Watford->Hatfield->Derbysire->Sheffield. And home on Sunday. It's been one hell of a week!
*kind of an in joke, but yes - it really is that tough a week. If you do it right, at least!
