Yes, Bob-from-Tacoma, I do intend to attend your cohort's class! (That's

coming up next at 1300 hrs.)

I am SO pooped - wasn't able to participate in the Tuesday night City Walk

excursion. But that's okay - I needed the rest.

Many of the classes are quite good, but there are a few duds amongst them.

It just reinforces why *I* attend these conferences: for the networking

opportunities. Yah, nice to get educational credits or more larnin' in

our chosen career fields.... since there aren't a whole lot of those

opportunities elsewhere.

Tonight is the Closing Gala and then tomorrow it's off to the airport 3

hours before my flight home. Gotta change planes in Chicago, too (Midway,

not O'Hare, thank goodness!)

I highly encourage anybody who has not been to an International APCO

Conference to do as I've done over the years: save up your time and many,

many dimes to attend these! That's if your department/agency won't spring

for it for ya, anyway.

Well, off to find some lunch.

Bob, she did VERY well! It was quite nice to see a different tactic on

Dispatcher Stress, for once: Bringing it home.

That is, about helping one's family and friends understand the kinds of

stress experienced by dispatchers, our reactions to it, and how it impacts

our home life. (Those of us who have such a thing, of course.)

She described the cycle of hypervigilance down to emotional inertia,

introduced a new (to me) term of " burst stress " and gave a great

presentation. It was NOT the usual, yaah, yah, tell us more (NOT!) about

the stress we're under and yammer that we have to develop coping skills.

I also introduced myself to her and dropped your name. <grin> You're

apparently on her good list. (Tradelast opportunity; look up the word

" tradelast, " Bob. I could use some reciprocity.)

BOY am I whipped. Really not looking forward to 3.5 hr security check

lines tomorrow morning, either. On the other hand, I'm not distressed by

the concept of heightened airport security. I've already learned I can

nap quite easily in a chair - even the uncomfortable ones in Conference

rooms - so the airport should be no problem.

Bob,

I was in the speaker ready room for the entire conference and was not able

to attend any of the sessions but I did get to meet Tina prior to her class.

She was a bit " stressed " , telling me it was her first time speaking. I

assured her that she would do fine and afterwards she stopped by to drop off

her

extra handouts and she was beaming. Everyone I spoke to said she did a great

job. I asked her afterwards how she felt and she said " great " . Make sure

she signs up for next year's conference, the deadline is 10/16/06.

Hey Bob I also went to Tina's Class at the Conference it was EXCELLANT she is a

great speaker and keeps everyone's attention while she's speaking. I gave her my

contact info so she could send me some more information. This was my first APCO

Conference and I really enjoyed and learned alot.

Wish I had known that is where you were " hiding " out!! I was in a number of

classes right down from the Speaker Ready room, and would have popped in to

say hi! None of the Volunteers in bright orange that I mentioned your name

to knew you...

I caught a glimpse of Clyde Walters on the last night, on the bus as we

returned to the Quality Inn. Caught glimpses across the way of numbers of

others, but only managed one on one time with Willet, Behr,

Olmstead, Cline, Toni Wyman, Barry Furey, Dave and Perrin Larton

and a passing remark or two to Gil Emery. (Don't think I forgot anyone, but

it is possible it was burned from my memory with all the heat! LOL)

Classes were for the most part very good. Supersessions I got to attend were

tremendous! Since the classes I want to attend always seem to be scheduled

at the same time, I am eagerly awaiting my CDs of ALL the conference

sessions!!

I'm already looking forward to Baltimore!!
