Christmas Geek Dinner - Year of the Social

It was lovely to attend the Christmas Geek Dinner.  I was able to arrive late and be surprised about what had been arranged.  Bliss.

I'm remaining nothing but glad that I took the sensible route and deliberately stepped back a bit from co-organising the girl geek dinners.  I was severely over-committed, spread thin.   Although I had put a lot of work into setting up the dinners, now they're established and my time is precious, the time came to redistribute my time more effectively.

The night itself was great fun, with an interesting talk from Aral*, lovely food, gifts and a fun raffle.  It was a tribute to all the hard work put in by Simon, Devi and Rosie.

Although it was strange to not be involved, especially given my tendency towards volunteering for everything, attending as normal attendee was a sheer pleasure, and I hope to do so again soon!

* Amused that 2007 really was the year of the social, both locally (more socials than ever) and globally (more focus on social and communication media).
