Public Speaking Should Be Banned
Or at least those who not inclined toward standing in front of groups of people should be allowed to wallow in peace and obscurity as they wish.

Mid-afternoon Friday, I learned, to my shock, chagrin and -- need I say it? -- terror that I will need to discuss my department's function to a client on Tuesday. Not only will I have to dress up somewhat (not in a suit, thank goodness), something I am loath to do even at the best of times, but I will need to talk to a group of strangers and likely be put on the spot by my boss's boss.

Help!

    Hi, Rita Pita! I like your name and what a gorgeous picture!

    Thanks for stopping by and posting.

    I had heard about Toastmasters many moons ago and that it's a great program. However, I'm trying to avoid having to present on a regular basis. *shudder* :-D

    Presenting to clients is not part of my usual work responsibilities; it just so happens that the highers up sprang this on my boss and me at the last minute and my boss will be out that day... *sobbing*
