Notes
1. Humorous speech
Categories: None -- Permalink
Whoa, went way out of my comfort zone there. Giving in to social
pressure, I volunteered to do a humorous speech for our Toastmasters
club contest. I did a riff on my usual productivity schtick, talking
about the power of procrastination. It wasn't a rolling-in-the-aisles
success, but it wasn't completely horrible, either. I got at least one
or two smiles. So I guess it was just _slightly_ horrible.
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
Still. It was a good experience, in the way that jumping into the cold, deep end of a pool is a good experience even if you're just flailing about while all these Olympic swimmers are watching you.
I guess I'll be up for the area contest... Yikes.
