Tomorow is the Presentation day in work and I have once again been called in to do the speeches. Last year they dumped this in my lap, I numbingly made it through the speeches and awards but I know I made it painfully obvious how embarassed I was by shaking so much.
This year I don't have so much stage fright because I know what to expect; my confidence has built up over the past year through on the spot hireing and firing. Ive become more 'Professional' in what I do by the things I have learned, and know how to 'make it up as you go along' so to speak to make the best of that un-predictable situation.
I prepared the one of the speeches and will have to try and learn it off by heart, but I don't think it'll make a difference so taking a writen copy should avoid me making a ass of myself and to avoid forgeting vital bits of infomation.
Today, since it's been the only thing on my mind I was lucky to have a few cans here indoors to squash the 'lime-light' fear, however tomorow is another story. I know when im in the building I can practice the speech and sever whatever nerves are still there. Wish me luck!

Glad to hear you're feeling more confident this year.

Break a leg, as all those showbiz types always say.
