I hate public speaking, I don't think public speaking and I will ever be friends, but for some reason people love setting public speaking and I up on blind dates.
For example, yesterday I had to present a project to 60+ people for my internship that included the millionaires of the business that I work for as well as my fellow interns. Not a good time for someone like me at all.
First mistake I made was wearing a low cut shirt. Not because my twins were available for all the elderly millionaires to see, but because I turn into a pink version of the Incredible Hulk when I get nervous. It slowly rises from my hands, up my arms, then all over my chest, face and ears. Before you know it, I look like small child that decided to take a jog in a field of poison ivy. Next mistake I made was deciding to wear a jacket. If anybody can guess what happens when you are a nervous wreck, you know that when you put on a jacket, its not coming off unless you want people to think your trying to make a new statement with those dark circles under your arms.
I can live with making a fool out of myself in front of all the officers of my business, really I can. But when I find out after all is over and done with (or so I thought) that my next meeting I have to attend with consist of me winging it in front of my coworkers and my direct supervisor because the lady who was supposed to conduct the meeting is MIA, and my mentor decided to go home sick 10 minutes beforehand can cause those tiny pit stains to look like a drop of water compared to the flood that was about to take place in that small meeting room. But that's even okay. What I'm not okay with is having my supervisor treat me like an ignorant child because after working here a whole month, I don't know the correct terminology of those that have been working here for 5+ years. Good times.
I think I need to finally get some sort of a restraining order on this public speaking fellow...

I hate: Introductions!
Welcome to my blog, you just popped my blogging cherry if you're the first to read this.
You can read my profile, if you'd like to learn about me and what I'd like to accomplish with this blog. But to let you readers know what to expect from this is to be fun explanations of everything I hate and why I hate it. I'll try to keep up with the style of what I hate, but I may deviate from that if it gets old. Just a preview of what is to come next, I hate public speaking! Enjoy!
