So, I have a fairly important couple of days of business meetings (yes, it’s always a little odd to mix business and science…) in which I have to give a couple of key presentations. I’ve given any number of scientific talks, but rarely has more than personal and professional pride been riding on it.
So, I’m a little nervous. Anyway, so I’ll ask you guys to look into your crystal ball and see how I do during my presentations:
Stevil 
You ARE nervous!
You ARE nervous!
Good luck! I'm sure you'll do great because you are just that awesome!
You'll do wonderfully, I'm sure!Now, here's the deal: we only had the choice to choose one answer. While I feel certain your fly will be open at least the majority of the time, I do not feel this will interfere with the audience weeping for joy (oh wait… maybe they were crying from laughter? or relief? all depends on the visibility and print of your undies, I suppose…), so I went ahead with the weeping for joy (since y'know, it seems to trump open fly). But my true prophecy wasn't listed as a choice: nobel prize conjured and awarded to you on the spot.
Break a leg. Knock 'em dead. Etc. You'll be great.
You'll do great! You're not in Philadelphia, are you?
I'm always nervous before presentations always have been — usually is disappears after the first slide or two.
Steph === thanks for the vote of confidence!! Everything did go pretty well. :)
I quadruple-checked — fly was zipped at the begining AND at the end! Fortunately no tears, no Nobels, but we'll see if we can get a prize out of it… :)
Thanks e-dot-e! We were on our home turf here in SD. My bro's family would love it if I was in Philly though — give me a chance to visit… :)
Well, I don't know how I missed this but I'm wishing you some retroactive good luck! (Although…..if it's retroactive, do I need to wish you good luck?)
Anyway. :)
wow. 16.7% of people also think that your fly will be open the entire time. i thought i was just being snarky. :)i hope you did well!
