our audience was a room full of Designers. a crazy amount of cute women civil engineers. total unicorns in my world. one was totally inappropriately dressed but i was not complaining.
i chit you not. when the big boss showed up, i checked my HR with a phone app. my heart was racing!! 109! WTF?.. i went outside took a quick walk and did some deep breathing. i calmed down. ate a banana.
i was up!! i never knew it, but i kinda drop jokes and treat them not as jokes. i just kinda say it, and move on straight faced. people were laughing, and taking pictures of my slides. i eased up and kicked ass. the big boss shook my hand and told me, "good job! you are ready"
it is what it is at this point. i have the info memorized..i know the anticipated questions. and answers.
thanks for the pep talks along the way friends. i'll see some of you around hopefully.
LA..and San Diego. (i'm looking at you lowryder933!)  |
This is just 5 minutes long, and classic Jerry Clower. Maybe your speech can get this good and you can get a chauffeur.
It is one of my favorite bits of Jerry's humor.
