Well, boo…. Back to the drawing wheel #sqlpass

Nose to the wagon board.  Grinding away at the dog-and-pony show.  Keeping a stiff upper lip.  Insert Other Platitudes…

Apparantly, PASS started notifying potential speakers that their submissions for Summit 2010 were accepted today for ; unfortunately, I was not one of them (at least not yet).  2 of my 3 submissions were “Considered” before being rejected, and a third is listed as an “Alternate”.   Although I’m disappointed, I do think that it suggests that the quality of submissions must be EXCELLENT this year.  I mean, if I didn’t make it, then obviously they put in the heavy hitters 🙂  Congrats to those who did make it.

I’ll keep trying, of course; I was accepted to speak at the Baton Rouge SQLSaturday, but unfortunately a personal conflict is keeping me from being able to attend.  I have high hopes about Nashville, and I’m pondering Kansas City.    I’m also planning on presenting at the Columbus Georgia SQL Server User Group in September, so I’ll keep refining my chops a bit.  I’m also still hoping to attend Summit, if I can figure out a way to pay for it.

Anyway, back to the grind.  Life ain’t all bad; I’m teleworking this week from lovely Florida, where I’ve been able to work all day, see friends at night, and enjoy some time at the beach in the evening.  It’s all a matter of perspective.
