Tech Ed Snack update for Wednesday

I couldn't spot any Krispy Kreme doughnuts again this morning, but there were plenty of bananas and banana chips.  There's always plenty of fruit found on the snack tables, but little else.  The running joke I heard from one RD is that Steve Ballmer lost weight, but why should we have to?  In the afternoon, there was still some kind of snafu (snackfu?) with the snacks, and I actually heard some of the Tech Ed crew yelling at one another, and unkind words were exchanged.  I'm not entirely sure what that was all about, but apparently there was some kind of miscommunication about what snacks should be placed out on the tables and when.  Anyway, the snack supplies (and lack thereof) continue to disappoint.  I finally gave up after the 3pm snack time and dragged 3 of my cohorts down to the ice cream snack up the street so that we could consume the proper amount of much-needed sugar.  One positive thing I must note is that there has been no lack of available sodas, including my favorite caffeine delivery mechanism.

P.S.  Strawberry smoothies should not be brown.

Thanks for your annual TechEd snack and food reports, Marcie. I always anticipate them. When I went to TechEd 2001 in Atlanta I was swimming in Krispee Kremes! God, it was a great conference! sigh...

Why don't you actually try going to a session perhaps? That would be a change...
