Teachin’
On Tuesday I had a training for our operations group that I had to give. It was my first instructor led training I was conducting at my new job and I was a bit nervous. Well, I wasn’t so nervous until I learned my boss and my boss’s boss would be sitting in on it. I felt like my head was in a fog all morning and I knew I’d have to think on my feet for the training. I haven’t drank caffeine in about 10 years, but for some reason I decided it was imperative. I don’t drink much soda and don’t like coffee, so the only option was green tea. I tried to force a couple swallows down and when that wouldn’t work I opted for some Laffy Taffy and an instant sugar high. Shortly before we started my boss told me I could lay off the sugar. Apparently I’m more tolerable decaffeinated and sedated. Fortunately the training went really well. I’m guessing it’s because I chose to dress up like a teacher for it. And everyone listens to teachers.
My inspiration.

“Show” Attire
I’m not sure why, but if we’re going to a show I seem to have a hard time figuring out what I want to wear. I mean, what happens if Brandon Flowers wants me to come up on stage with him? I want to make sure I look good. Oh, and it gets really hot in there with hundreds of people with intense body heat, so you have to make sure to dress coolly. And you have to wear flats if you want to dance to all the words. (Well, you could wear heels, but you’ll be standing for a long time and I’m personally a wuss about that.)
