~:[CH13 - Day 278]:~ Finding the Final Piece

You know that moment when you pick up the final piece of a puzzle you've been working on and are about to place it in to complete the puzzle? That's the exactly feeling I have when an event wraps up and I close the final door to say goodbye to another chapter. After a grueling few weeks of printing placards and credentials, editing, organization and planning, we wrapped up another successful conference. There are so many working pieces to put this conference on and it's great when everything flows together and works out. While my computer and printer threatened to derail our success at the very last moment with lagging and a haywire moment for my printer, we got things back in line and finished everything off. I was a bit worried from time to time as we had a few "crisis" moments, but we were able to address the issues quickly and added that final piece to this year's puzzle. As I cleaned everything up and packed it away, the labor didn't bother me, as the weight of the conference was lifted off my shoulders. In the end, the students did an excellent job coordinating their conference and fulfilling their roles, which meant that we could find that final piece and enjoy looking at this beautiful puzzle we completed.
