Today was really fun. I came to my wife’s middle school as an alternate presenter for career day, and I wound up presenting in two classes.
When I was asked to be involved with career day a while ago, I was under the assumption that I would be presenting for sure (I was only told last week that I was an alternate), and that I might be only one of three to five folks. I think there were 25-30 people presenting, and zero overlap in occupations. I was the only engineer there! From what I hear, the FBI agent had the best presentation.
Well, the firemen came late (in their fire truck), so I got to present in their place for period one. I watched a friend’s presentation in period two (he’s a Microbiologist), and then he had to take a call right after class (a possible job offer), so he asked me if I could present for period three. Both classes seemed to like my presentation. Some of my friends, and the principal, came in to see my presentation as well. After that was over, the school fed us lunch (they had also served breakfast and coffee. Had I known that they were serving breakfast ahead of time, I would not have ordered coffee and my very heavy Wednesday breakfast at Omega’s).
Afterwards, I left, went to Kaiser to get allergy medicine, then spent the rest of the evening at home. It was a truly great day.
Day 143 mood: Wonderful!
