Calendar Girl Blog: Sleepy at the World Conference

Last night, on my way to the Opening Reception of The World Breast Cancer Conference, I walked past the CBC Radio building. This time instead of paying no mind, I introduced myself to the security guard who was outside having a smoke. I also handed him a package of calendars and conference info to pass on to their drive home show called Mainstreet.

When I returned from the conference this afternoon, an email was waiting for me from CBC. I quickly called them back on the well used payphone down the hall (no cell phone for this chick) and voila. They've booked me for a live interview at 4:20 on Friday afternoon.

And here I've been mailing media packages with polite, pleading letters all these years. Little did I know about the power of the smoking security guard.

Three of my models from previous year's are in attendance at the conference and have excitedly been showing off their Calendar Girl photos to anyone they can snag. No tredpidation there. Each one is a full fledged Breast Ambassador in their own right.

My day was spent staffing my booth. Meeting, greeting and exchanging calendars for hard, cold cash. Lots of comments. Mostly positive.

I've another reception to attend this evening followed by what I hope will be my best sleep yet. (DID YOU HEAR THAT SLEEP GODS??) But wait, is that the returning French sailors I hear roaring down the hall? (They trickled in between 3am and 6am...just loud enough to wake me but not enough for me to complain.) Just how long do sailors stay in port anyway?

Calendar Girl is sounding like her grandmother. Calendar Girl is sleep deprived. Ten years ago, Calendar would have been singing sea shanties. Now, being more um, mature, Calendar Girl is fond of 'the good, long, uninterrupted sleep.
