One More Day

I just got back from the Computers in Libraries conference, where I learned lots of interesting stuff and made a (long) mental list of things I wanted to explore, try out, etc., but didn't have an opportunity to do during the conference. Now, here I am, back at my regular job, already back into the regular routine. Plus, it's even slightly worse than that since I have a few extra regular work things that piled up while I was away. Wonder how far down my mental list of cool new things to try out I'll actually get before the conference fades entirely from my mind?

Wouldn't it have been great to schedule myself for four days for a three day conference, reserving the day at the end to ponder and assimilate what I had learned and to try out all the stuff I learned about at the conference? Maybe I'll see if my boss will go for this the next time I have a conference to attend!
