The PCBs haven't hit me yet, still pretty much on a high from the weekend, though I am suffering the ol' Convention Crud as discodiva has said... came down with a throat infection yesterday. :( I won't be surprised if the blues hit me once I'm over the throat infection.

Returned to work today.  On the top of my to do list which I prepared last week, I wrote a note to myself which says "How was KU (Karl Urban)?" Brought a smile to my face.

Then for some reason my colleagues started talking to me, and then, I thought, this time last Saturday/Sunday I was talking to more important people (Karl Urban, Gillian Anderson, Jeri Ryan).  I had to answer their question, otherwise, they wouldn't leave me alone.  

So, yes, suffering from the post con blues, but glad I have an office to go to for the rest of the week to help me get over it, shame about the work that needs to be done (was wondering where the money going into my account came from...).

Ive been down since I got back on Monday and since I'm off all week that hasn't helped!

My bank account looks worse than Voyager In Year of Hell!

But DSTL is only three months away so there's that I guess....

Definitely had the blues this week - I quickly got used to having my favourite celebrities all around me! This was my first Con and I was amazed at how much I felt at home surrounded by so many fellow fans.

Thank God I'm not the only one who gets this.... the weekend, I was so happy being with friends, REAL friends... I mean meeting the guests was nice and all but it was about the friends in a big way for me too, and then now I'm back here in the real world and it's a major ...for the want of another word.... BLEURGH! And people who I've got to know online or known online for years and then offline and other people who recognised me, actually coming up to me and chatting as well as people I didn't know but really enjoyed talking to as we queued up for photoshoots, it was just a really fantastic experience. Shame a lot of the people who stereotype con goers and don't go themselves aren't as friendly and sociable. I miss that. I also find that people outside of it for the most part, don't really understand it. People I know at home are like... what's so good about it? Or... that's nice (but I'm not really interested in hearing about it)... but you can't really convey what it's like to someone, they have to go for themselves and feel it.

Yeah I mean by far the coolest thing about the weekend was that you could star a conversation with any one in a queue it stood around and be totally on the same wave length.

The was my first con too so I'm still reeling from the experience!

I have the post con blues too, although this time round it's made a little easier by the fact that one week on and it's only just sunk in that I met Gillian Anderson :dance: Yep,  there's my happy dance.

mmh ... I always am high as a kite after meeting all these amazing people, so it takes me at least a whole week to get back to earth and fall into the Post Con Blues. A proposed cure: look at all your photos and autographs, remember all the funny things that happend to you and keep smiling; the next Con is around the corner (somewhere, even if San Diego is a bit too far for a quick chat).
