I'm not even nervous yet. But I think I will be. Cross your fingers for me please, as always.

I did fucking awesome!

What is surprising, I feel much more confident presenting in English than in my native language.

Maybe it's because of the fact that for a regular guy from Slovakia, my ability to communicate in English on verbal and written level is really pretty good . So this is kind of a psychological advantage for me towards the other people in the room.

You should use saucy English profanities!!!! Sprinkle them in there!

Well done Slavo!

[_slavo_]

I haven't written here for quite a long time.

I have another one in one hour's time - please cross your fingers for me.

Well done to you sir.

I work with two women from Slovakia and their English is impeccable, puts a lot of English people to shame. One of them sells cosmetics in her spare time. She doesn't need the money, she just likes to practice her English by standing in front of a group of English people and presenting to them in English.

That's my "Slovakian person giving a presentation in English" story.

That story made my day, Pookie. Thank you.

By the way, next week I should be given an offer for a job in London. I passed all the interview rounds, so now it's all about terms and conditions.

It's going to be a tough decision, if to go and try a new life in the UK or stay home.

Another one today.

[A Thousand Threads]

good luck!

[_slavo_]

Thank you Christoph!

[Rob Instigator]

you should end your presentation with a 10 minute free form drone jam!!!

[_slavo_]

I did very well indeed!

Without drones, unfortunately, but with a self-confident grin on my face.

[Rob Instigator]

you should tell them all "I am going to be a father. I have propagated the species. My seed will one day rule the earth."

Another one in one hour.

I truly did, and I wasn't even scared.

but you know, I might have mentioned this before, but I am a man of habits and this is one of my personal rituals how to avoid stress.
I'd feel like I'm missing something if I didn't post here beforehand.
