This week has been “packed” compared to the already overwhelming past couple of months, but at least the week is nearing its end.
Although I will still be working through yet another weekend, it will be “at my leisure” for once. I will only be working briefly on two web design projects and on ShrinkTheWeb (integrating the billing to prepare to go live).
Yesterday (Thursday), I gave a speech to roughly 125 people as the “Director of Marketing and Sales” for one of my clients. Previously, I had not spoken in front of more than 15-20 people and even then I was very nervous. So, I was a bit surprised that speaking to this much larger audience was less nerve-wrecking than before.
I would say it was because I prepared, but honestly, with all that’s been going on this week, I spent all of about 8 hours in designing and writing the powerpoint presentation, practicing, and preparing. That’s not really very much preparation for the event. However, I’m happy to have pulled it off and I received numerous compliments on the helpful points I made as well as my presentation. I was pleased that no one could tell I was nervous. 
For my reward, I took Leah out on a date –only fitting since I had donned one of my favorite power suits and felt very spiffy and in the mood to go out. So, we enjoyed some good food. I took a huge chance and ordered ribs -which made me quite nervous but I managed to be careful enough not to get anything on me. Hah. So, that was good. As exhausted as I was from the 13 hour long workday, it was nice and refreshing to spend a few hours with Leah.
I have to get up in a few hours to make a meeting with the head of another multi-million dollar company, so I’ll keep this update short. I’m hopeful that it won’t be too much longer before I start to see some benefit from all these multi-million dollar company meetings. 
It just seems that the more a company makes, the tighter they are with cash flow. Many would infer that frugality to be the reason they are where they are in the market. At any rate, I’m looking forward to this being a more relaxed Friday than is typical for me.
