: an event (as at the end of a series) that is strikingly less important than what has preceded it.
I’ve always been really bad with endings. I just can’t let things go. I hate to see things come to an end, for people to move on, for things to change.
My event this weekend was a huge success. And to be honest, I can’t believe I actually pulled it off. The day passed by relatively hiccup-less. Over two thousand people showed up, the presentations and seminars were very popular, and the exhibitors thrilled! Most importantly my bosses were highly impressed, and are already anticipating next year’s edition. The whole team was taken out for dinner, in my honour---to a spectacular place in Paris (Barrio Latino--it’s definitely on my top 3 coolest resto/bars I have been to in Europe).
This morning I woke up with a pounding headache and a heavy sense of loss. What will I do now? I really revelled in the challenge of this project, and now that it is over my day-to-day work seems trivial in comparison. Luckily I have one more week in Paris, to actually take in the sights and sounds, and kick back a little.
It’s too early to start planning next year’s edition, but I have already have a couple tricks up my sleeve to bring me back to Paris a few times over the next couple months ;)
Ahhhhh.....its now time to relaaaxxx....
