Three hours, five pages of notes and a clearer direction

I set off for the seminar an hour and a half early, but as I approached April 10 Square, I saw it was 6:59 p.m. I jumped out in a panic because I knew that if I missed even a little of the beginning, I would not see the full picture Igor [Graf] had prepared. Besides, punctuality matters: once the doors close, you might as well have come for nothing.

At 7:05 p.m., the OTIS lift was taking me, soaked through, to the third floor of Gagarin. Still, those three hours were more than worthwhile; they were very effective and productive!

I filled five A5 pages, sorted everything out in my head, finally understood things I had not quite grasped at Power ON, and felt my inner drive burning brightly! Thank you, Igor.

P.S. Since nothing can be perfect, one downside was being asked by a team member to return the ballpoint pen they handed out. It sounded a little unprofessional.
