conference forager

College habits die hard.

On the plus side, I no longer am willing to give up all my personal financial information for a free T-shirt.

On the other hand, free food is still really hard to turn down.

At a conference where they’re stuffing you silly pretty much every moment, why on earth would one save a few sandwiches from the coffee break for… later? I mean, you’re not even hungry, not one little bit, after lunch buffet, and then drinking coffee (and eating cake) during coffee (and cake) break, so what unknown retrograde reason possesses you to stash a few sandwiches in your bag?

I’ll tell you why — after a long night of, um, building professional relationships with Germans (who are 3rd in the world for per capita beer consumption, after Ireland #2 and, ahem, the Czech Republic #1), right… some mini-wiches stashed away from earlier can save you from spending 13086340897089734 whatever units in your in-room minibar, and will keep you fresh and functioning the next day.

That’s why.
