Company presentation afternoon. Based on past experiences I knew the MD would ask me for a slide on HR achievements at the last minute. I was prepared for that. I had a lovely slide and I'd even shiftily shoehorned a plug for my Ladies Yay (still not it's real name) organisation event next month.

I was not prepared to be asked to then present this to entire worldwide company with all of seven minutes. O HAI India and New York and London and Manchester.

Thank god I do not have a fear of public speaking. And that I'm having a tolerably good hair day and wearing my favourite work top. (I got applause and a well done from a few staff I don't know that well afterwards too.)

I am now skipping post work drinks and am instead going home as am technically on annual leave now. A weekend of glamping at a wedding in Scotland awaits, once I sort the car out, pack, and steadfastly ignore the election happening today. (I voted Labour! But I am sick of the pundits and talk.)

How glam is the glamping? Weddings and tents seem like a stressful combination.

I am sure India, New York, London and Manchester were wowed by your presentation! Well done.

It was... moderately glam, but no electricity. I came back and hugged my kettle.

Luckily the weather held for most of the weekend so that helped!

Sometimes steadfastly ignoring an election except for the actual bit where you go and vote in it is the only thing to do. ;P *nods sagely*

Yay for annual leave! Yay for giving a worldwide presentation with a reasonable amount of kickassery! Yay for favorite shirts! :D

(I may not be making very much sense, but I gather that this is a relatively happy post, and so I am like "yay happiness! *hugs*" ;S I'm in a weird headspace.)

You make plenty of sense! Thank you :)

I'm sorry things have been so rubbish for you recently, though. *internet hugs*
