Been decent so far. I'm flying out to Las Vegas later today for the Formula 1 race. And to see my family for an "early" Thanksgiving. We got tickets to go to a practice session, so that'll be exciting seeing and hearing the cars in person. I've only seen and heard F1 cars in action once back in 2019 at a fan event in LA, so curious to see how they sound now. I should probably start packing...

On the work front, I successfully helped get my co-workers to New Orleans for a conference our company is putting on. I'm in charge of technology and logistics for events. Everything got shipped on Friday and arrived on Monday with no issues. I'll be supporting them remotely in case they have any technical issues, which is a first. I'm always on-site with them for events. First time since 2015 that I'm not on-site.

I'm using this as a trial run of sorts, so that I don't have to go to each of these (which is only twice a year). I enjoy traveling, but work travel isn't always fun. It does mean I'm working outside of my normal hours since my co-workers may have issues that pop-up before/after the event begins/ends each day. And since I'm on vacation later this week, even potentially working while on PTO. Which is fine; I'll just take comp time for it. For this specific event, I'd much rather support my team remotely, than actually be on-site.
