I'm back!
Soooo much to tell you about, so let's see how much I can remember!
For this little adventure, it was pretty much an impromptu thing.......and I was hesitant about it at first.
One of my "duties" at work is to organize Continuing Education programs for our pharmacists and technicians. Normally, we hold these programs at our facility, but the number of attendees increased to over 300 this time around, so I had to move it to the Embassy Suites hotel. Little did I know that this hotel was frequented by a lot of people, specifically for happy hour. The program started and 7pm and ended at 9pm, with dinner having started around 5:45pm, so you can just imagine how much the party got started during the dinner hour! I had some last minute things to do, so I didn't arrive until a little after 6.
I'll just say this was probably the most interesting CE program I have done :)
There is always a mad rush at the end of the program because 98% of the population has worked a full day shift before the program. My day is usually 7am to 10pm on these program days. Naturally, after it being my first off-site program, and after it being a huge success, I gladly accepted an invitation to hang at the bar after it was all over.
The food was surprisingly very good and I only had one glass of wine. It was very entertaining to sit back, relax, and watch my co-workers get loose LOLOLOL. I tell yeah, personalities come out when the drinks go down the hatch! I couldn't stop staring at some of them......and stayed long enough to have something to hold over their heads! (JUST KIDDING). I did get some great laughs out of the night and I really did enjoy hanging out with some of them. It was good to be able to chat and chew longer than the 30 min lunch we get during the day!!!
Hmmmm.......maybe the next CE could be there as well????
