Protips for presentations:

1. If you're giving your first-ever PowerPoint presentation, don't tell the audience.

b. Also, don't tell them you had speech therapy as a kid, because you had "trouble getting your words out".

%. Don't put phonetic spellings of the tough ones in parentheses, right there on your slides.

quatro. If people start openly pulling out their phones and texting, wrap it up already, for the love of Tebow.

I had wondered what I would go through for free CEUs. Tonight, I found out.

That's awesome. I'm teaching a two hour course on PowerPoint at our office in a couple weeks and it never occurred to me that I might need to cover those points.I'm presenting to all of our management tomorrow. I'm not sure why I thought it would be a good idea to volunteer for this. Most of the time I present to business groups and if I stick my #### in the mashed potatoes, nobody at the office is any wiser. I could really screw this one up.

I got a fairly disappointing grade on my first every PowerPoint presentation in college because I had no idea how important highly contrasting colors between text and background were when using a projector. It looked great on my laptop but the text was totally washed out when projected onto the screen. It totally sucked because I had done a ton of research and my presentation was great. But nobody could actually see it so my grade got dinged because of it.

when I did college v1.0 back in the early 90s I hated presentations. You had to either remember everything or try to read it from index cards. College v2.0 was so much easier due to powerpoint. I got to the point where I didn't even rehearse for presentations and still did great on them. I'd catch myself telling my team mates how easy they had it because "back in my day..."

On Super Bowl Sunday I somehow pinched a nerve in my neck and shoulder area. That pain has now somehow worked it's way down to my back, hips, and knees but particularly my back. I am in intense pain, and for the last few days every time I get up from my desk I have to walked hunched over for about a minute or two because my back is so tight I literally can't stand up straight. Earlier tonight I tried to grab my daughter when she ran by as we were playing and had such a shooting pain in my lower back I actually fell to the floor and laid there for about 3 minutes before I could get up.

Currently drinking vodka & oj and have a heatpack going on my lower back. I assume this will take care of things.

They won't do **** for nerve problems, but these things are great for keeping your back from getting stiff, and they stay warm for 8+ hours.

 
Will be participating in a Skate-a-thon next weekend and am looking for ideas on costumes to wear. It's four hours, fifty minutes with ten minutes of ice cleaning per hour, so I'm hoping to have a costume for each of the separate blocks. Two rinks will be used, one for casual skaters and the other for those who will be trying to pump the laps...I'll be skating on the death rink.

Also, dude in my g/f's office said he would double his donation if I completed 500 laps but said it in such a way that he all but guaranteed I wouldn't come close. He's been a real ray to everyone lately due to his boyfriend leaving him a couple of months ago and I would enjoy proving him wrong. Any thoughts on how to pace this out?

Unrelated, happy birthday Thorn.

This morning, I overheard my daughter says to my wife "I want to be white like daddy".

My daughter goes to a private school with white, black, asian, spanish, indian etc. kids. No idea where this is coming from.

I was hoping to avoid this conversation with you but I guess it is unavoidable now.

:goodposting: I hope you're wearing the Reese's shirt today.For reasons other than Atty Thorn's birthday, I plan on drinking tonight until my liver begs me to stop. It makes me all warm and fuzzy to know that most of you will be doing the same.

I don't think she's ready for the "daddy is black, just not as black as you" conversation.

I got home from work to find out that one of my boys got in trouble at school today. Except it isn't the usual culprit. According to the note, all of the kids were cleaning their play area, well, all but two girls that decided they would rather goof off. Dylan took it upon himself to yell "DAMN IT GIRLS! GET TO WORK!!!". :mellow:

Might be time to see the drug dealer, GB. And by drug dealer, I mean your doctor.

Getting very close to doing this. And I only go to the doctor about once every five years or so because I was raised to never go to the doctor (not like in a doctor's are evil kind of way or anything, just in a "if there ain't something broke you don't need a doctor" kind of way). But I'm starting to think this might be bad to quite bad.

While walking down the hall on the way to the bathroom I was contemplating what it would be like to have sex with the girl walking in front of me when another girl with an absolutely spectacular ### came around the corner in front of her. I reached the bathroom but without thinking, delayed going in to continue to watch the spectacular ### walk down he hallway. I suddenly came to my senses and quickly checked behind me to make sure someone from HR didn't catch me frozen in my tracks with my eyes glued to a co-worker's ###, before resuming my staring.

This is normal behavior right? I'm not turning into an (unusually) dirty old pervert, am I?
