Diva?

Wow - I can't believe it's been almost a week since I last blogged. So much going on these days, it's not even funny.

I had this really big presentation that I had to give at work on Friday, so I spent every night last week preparing for it. And when I still didn't feel prepared on Friday morning, I decided to use Beyonce's trick to help me get through it.
Evidently, when Beyonce is feeling like she can't handle something, she calls on the Diva side of her personality, "Sasha," to handle it. She distances herself and is like, "Sasha's a diva. She's fierce. She can do anything."
It sounds weird, and a bit like a multiple personality issue, but hey - whatever works, right?
So literally 5 minutes before the presentation, I was sitting in the bathroom pep talking myself - "Co's fierce. She's a diva. She knows this presentation front and back." And then I thought about how silly I must have looked, with my hands shaking in the bathroom stall while trying to convince myself that I was a diva, and I laughed enough to loosen myself up. Long story short, the presentation went really well - my manager, Shirley even told me I did "awesome," which is shocking coming from her. (Shirley really is fierce!)
So although Beyonce's trick didn't work in the way that I thought it would, it did help me get through the presenation. And thank goodness for that!

Oh, and p.s. - I found out on Friday during a routine vision screening test that I'm blind. Evidently, four years of working in front of computers has made my vision go from 20/20 to 20/50. And you're supposed to have 20/40 vision to drive. Go figure.
