i had to go to a work conference last week . i did n't know anyone there , and i really do n't like to travel without my family . it was hard . that does sound tough , did it go well at least ? it went fine . work conferences are always pretty boring , but i survived . going on vacation with the family next month so i have that to look forward to . that 's good , at least you have something fun to look forward to now .
