TOASTMASTERS: Humorous Speech Contest

The stress of preparing for this contest contributed to some whack-sleep schedules this week (okay, the stress of worrying about preparing). I went to bed way early yesterday and woke up a little past midnight thinking that I might put together my visual aids (not to mention my outline for the speech) But I wasn't feeling it. So I just went back to bed.

When I walked into work this morning, I told Nga that I wasn't going to speak. She just said "okay". She didn't give me a hard time; she asked for help carrying the food over to the meeting though.

I was planning on coming right back to the office to make up the two hours I sliced off of yesterday but ended up staying. The speeches by our four contestants were really good. One could just be a winner for trying, but in my case I feel like a winner for not trying. My boss (who's also in the club) gave me a hard time about my bailing out, but he went overtime.
