I'm coming to Omaha tomorrow night! Another late night for my parents. :( I need to learn to stop scheduling these late-night flights.
We had a team meeting for my Greenville company. I was supposed to do a presentation on SEO/SEM (my job), so I prepared a document. I had no idea what to expect, so I just prepared an outline instead of the usual PowerPoint presentation. Everybody else apparently knew they'd have access to a computer during the meeting, so they were prepared for it and had a presentation... however, everybody in the office also works with Macs, so I just did mine on paper.
Anyway, the presentation went well enough, but could have been better. If I can just learn how to relax during a presentation, I would be good to go. Public speaking is definitely not my strongest point. I do much better when people ask me specific questions--then I rock it (like in interviews), which is exactly what happened during the meeting. SEO/SEM can be extremely complicated, so when I have to explain it in 10-15 minutes, it gets a bit difficult, and I tend to act a bit scatter-brained. But when they asked questions, I relax and answer. After that, the meeting went well. I got to know the know-it-all-engineering-is-so-hard girlie a little better, and she's nice. She's just a bit... know-it-all. But nice. She did give me a little compliment--I said I felt so old going back to college, and she said she wouldn't have guessed how old I was if it wasn't for my wedding/engagement ring. Pffft. Whatever!
Sigh. Have I graduated yet?
