FWA 2014 con report

General
Yep, I was there.
#NotElevatorCon2014
Saw too many people to list, and spent most of my time at the mainstage doing techops staff things.
No PCD yet, only PCAP (post-con aches & pains).
Oh, and I fell asleep at the wheel on the way home and ran off the road. Woke up about 50 feet from a road sign while still going 70, slammed on my brakes and swerved to the left, crossed two lanes of (fortunately empty) interstate, and ended up in the median. No damage to my car, but had to replace a flat tire yesterday.
Got a solid 9 hours of sleep last night, which wasn't enough to make up for the 2 nights previous.
Apparently another tire had a slow leak, though, because I'm driving to work this morning and notice my car isn't driving straight. So I pull off on an exit, and notice that I'm about a half inch from driving on the rim. Called my dad, who brought a mini air compressor, and pumped it up enough for me to get to work. I kept the compressor, so I'll probably be pumping it up again before I leave, and I'll have to get the second tire replaced tomorrow morning.
Oh, and I still owe part of my room money. Fortunately my boss said that today she is paying me the rest of what she owes me from the 15th, so that'll take care of that.
Next con I plan to attend: FangCon in November (Knoxville, TN)

Like I said take your time with that money though.
Glad you had fun, but next time be sure to pull over if you're tired and just take a nap. lol
