Dudes, I’m not going to BlogHer in San Francisco and I’m totes sad about it. The needs of my personal life — relocating & all that nonsense — override the needs of my bloggy life. I don’t have time to be a feminist punk rock HR blogger because I’m busy being a stay-at-home kitty mom with a house to sell and a suburban life to manage.
So I’ll be home in Michigan while HR Wench, Average Jane, and the girls from Elastic Waist enjoy a fun-filled weekend in SF. It’s probably a good thing that I’m not attending because I’d spend my time staring at David Beckham.
PS - A warning to all those who are attending: Watch out for the conservative mommy bloggers. I warned HR Wench that they’ll cut your eyes out with a baby spoon.
Life always gets in the way of fun. . .
My *awesome* job as a business facing HR partner, combined with mommyhood and forced suburban solitude left me feeling all alone. . .
and then I found you.
Thank god for the internet. . .
Keep hope alive.
Mrs. Kennedy, you are always welcome here.
Laurie, you’re a Kennedy magnet! And now that I’ve given away what the “k” in perrik is…
Bummer that you’re not headed to SF, but why not create your own little West Coast realm during the conference? You’ll need to import several busloads each of gawking tourists, aggressive panhandlers, former .com paper millionaires with dull corporate jobs and haunted eyes, and amazing chefs. Oh, and you’ll need heavy-duty fog machines, set to “surprisingly bone-chilling, is that calendar really right, why am I so damn cold in freakin’ July, what is WRONG with this place?”.
I miss the Bay Area.
@Perrik (LOL, the Kennedys love me.) This is a great idea. I’ll drink Anchorsteam and important a few homeless hippies out to the countryside here in Michigan.
I’m not going either - mostly because of procrastination (oh, yeah, and money). Nice to know I will be in good company NOT being in SF - not to mention warmer!
@Florinda You just had a wonderful vacation. You don’t need to go to BlogHer!
Damn, I was looking forward to meeting you there!
Oh snap, Robyn!
This is going to drive me to drink. Who’s with me?
We’ll miss you in SF! Looks like HR Wench and I are going to have to take over your share of the drinking.
By the way, if you still have your conference pass and want to sell it, I know someone who’s looking for one.
I love how NO ONE commented on the Beckham billboard. Am I the only one who likes british dudes with rock hard abs????
Beckham is Mr. Tastycakes, I’ll agree. I don’t get why his wife doesn’t smile more…
@Heather BOTOX?
