shannon_aIt is not quite 9 as I start writing this, and I am exhausted.
The Rebooting Web of Trust design workshops are exhausting. It's not just that they're social, and that being social tires me. But they're also work. We collaborate for three days. We push as hard as we can to produce papers. We do impressive amounts of work.
It's amazing that people spend their time and energy to come out and do this for three days. But it shows their commitment to the community and to making the world of digital identity a better place. It's what makes these workshops so great, and the people attending them so great.
My group talked more on our biometric paper today. I finished up the "six truths about biometrics" section, which was my main goal. We fully outlined a use case, and our lead author will take that on, going forward.
Meanwhile, I took copious notes for plenaries. And I juggled that with helping administrate things on Slack, Github, and elsewhere.
It was not the most stressful day of the workshop, not by far. (That was Tuesday, when I was instead juggling medical scheduling.) But, it was the most busy, hence the exhaustion.
I went out for dinner with the remnants of the group today. I avoided the really big, organized dinners on the two previous nights because I was afraid they'd wear me out mentally and/or tire me enough to get my physical symptoms going.
But, today I led a group of walkers to the Mexican restaurant that Joe had picked (which is just two blocks from our Air B&B). The Mexican food was spicier and saucier and richer than I expected. I hope it doesn't end up making me sick. But it was tasty.
And there was great conversation, both on the way there and at the dinner.
But, oh, I am tired.
