As you make your way into the lobby, with the click and clack of your
best pair of shoes, you feel yourself become the target of eyes8212;so

your way. Undeterred, you direct your attention to the front desk.
"I'm here for the networking fair," you say smiling at the receptionist.
"And clearly you're going to do well," she whips back sarcastically,
nodding toward the enormous banner that should have indicated
to you where to go.
