WOW! What A Week…

Well, the weekend is finally here (and nearly done already) but after the past week any little break in the action is loved.  The past week included 3 family birthdays (one being my own), a user group meeting that I helped plan and presented at, an all day meeting (that was more than worth it) and the other typical activities that find their way into your nightly activities.  Oh and all of this is on top of working 10 1/2 hour days.

 

The WMSWUG held their first meeting since February of 2007 on Tuesday night with a turn out equal to or a touch greater than the last meeting.  We had roughly 30-35 in attendance to hear my presentation "Tips for Creating a Smoother Workflow" and Matthew Cummins presentation "Beginner to Expert: Top Ten Assembly Modeling Tips and Tricks".  It was an awesome night that included a lot of attendee interaction which is what a user group is all about in my opinion.  I think it is a failed user group meeting if none of the people in attendance say anything all night and the only people talking are the ones that are doing the presentations.  I had the chance to meet a few people that I had communicated with on the phone and through emails but had never actually met face to face before.  This is one of the things I love most about these type of meetings, the ability to finally put faces to names.  I already am getting fired up about our next meeting which is planned to be on May 13, this one will feature a couple of more presentations that will be worth every attendees time.  I want to thank all of those that attended Tuesday’s meeting for coming out and making this meeting a success and I look forward to hopefully seeing all of you and more at the next one.
