Some years ago I am rumored to have exclaimed, on the last day of school, that "French is over." Tonight I am very much of the mindset that IPD is over. The tradeshow was an experience; marred somewhat by the dropping and breaking of the transfer tray component of our product but otherwise fine. It went fast - people shuffled along, not sure of what to make of anything but unwilling to accept our offers to help them step further into the frame of mind required to 'get' the one-armed kitchen product class.
Incredibly, IPD really didn't consume the whole day. In the afternoon I had a little free time to catch up on some other work - the first of a mountain in that category - and enjoy a birthday gift. Tomorrow is shaping up to be a busy day but I thoroughly anticipate that Friday may set some kind of record for academic semester laziness.
