I suck at speaking in front of large groups. BTW, what's a toastmaster's international group? I like toast.. so maybe I should check it out!

I hate public speaking too Devin. I had to do alot of it in university. Blech. I've heard from numerous people that toastmaster's is very beneficial. I on the other hand prefer to avoid public speaking of anytime at all cost!  |

Sorry, I hadn't seen the question... Toastmasters is a public speaking/leadership group where members of the "club" assume various roles each meeting. You may "lead" the meeting, you may be a "speaker", you may be an "evaluator". The roles help your leadership and organization skills. Being a speaker helps you learn to speak in public, because you are evaluated. Being an evaluator teaches you how to listen and be constructive without being critical. It's all good. I was involved locally for a few years. I have always been able to BS with the best of them, I mean I am from Texas!  Toastmasters not only helped me, but it was fun. www.toastmasters.org/ |

*yawns with Jessica*
Ugh, when will I be able to catch some decent sleep??
And yay, why the champagne so freaking early? My stomach is still grumbling about yesterday's late night coffee, I don't think it'll like bubbly stuff...

Ludwig try some milk! And sometimes you need to give your body the rest it requires. And although you might have stuff to do, the time is better spent with a good night's sleep.
Happy Humpday to everyone.

Isn't champagne how everyone else gets through Humpday?

Not really. I almost never drink. I just like how it wooshes out of the bottle. Very festive.
