Conference anxiety...

I am starting to plan (or not plan) for this year-end conference season, and am filled with anxiety. Mainly, I have research envy. There is a 2-day session at this one conference that has every big-wig and player in my subfield, and I am jealous that I may not make that list. Of course, I am a second-year junior faculty with no data and an empty lab, so I have nothing much to present anyway, but I am still jealous. Totally rational, yes? Also, I read the abstracts and feel alarm because some people are doing research that I want to be doing!
