Unintentional insomnia

I have been in New York City since Friday afternoon for our Annual Convention, which draws about 18,000 people and 300 reporters.

The days have gone something like this:

• 5 a.m.: Hit snooze
• 5:15: Get out of bed
• 6:15: Catch the staff bus to the Javits Center
• 6:45: Eat breakfast
• 7:15: Open up the press room
• 8:00-6:30: Talk to reporters, attend sessions, blog, walk several miles in heels, grab food on the run, hobnob with CEOs, and put out (proverbial) fires
• 6:30 p.m.: Close the press room
• 6:45: Get back on the staff bus
• 7:00: Attend a dinner or reception or both with a business partner of some sort
• 10:30: Call Chad
• 11:00: Go to bed

I am not alone, which is a good thing. Four of us from the PR team are here along with probably 50 other people from NRF. But I’m exhausted. No wonder why they call this the city that never sleeps!
