Public Speaking ...

Unless you're a bit of an exhibitionist or just *really* like people, its the 'public' part of 'public speaking' that gets to most people.
A customer is coming into work tomorrow for a big demo on our software. Naturally what they really want is not what our software does.. but also as usual, we've got the various components (sometimes they even work! lol) we just have to put them together in the right spot. I wrote and designed 90% of all that collection of "duct tape and bailing wire" so I get to be in it. Mostly to talk about the artificial intelligence I wrote to read/process those financial docs. Not that the AI is done mind you, something like that really never is. As long as people are making new documents, that AI is never really done. But anyway.. other than my boss, myself and one person from the customer the rest of the room will be filled with non-technical people. So I have to figure out how to talk intelligently about the AI without boring the non-technical people to absolute tears.

Got a new entry up for Star Wars Spec Ops. I really like this one, I had fun with it. Though next part I need to do some more character development of the bad guy and a few other characters. So Clang and Doc may get a rest from me trying to beat the snot out of them for awhile!

Got a trooping event this weekend.. not totally up for it. I really need to get sleep and take some time to putter about doing something minor for just 'mental therapy' sake. Lately I feel like I've been so hard so constantly I'm not sure how to operate unless I'm in a crisis mode for something. LOL... I bout freaked out this past weekend cause of that too! Didn't have anything pressing, just some minor little errands to do. But I actually invented pressure on myself so I could function! How's that for messed up? I can't believe I have to relearn how to relax... oh well.
