Ergonomic Society

Last week I woke up around 5am thinking what the heck did I get myself into??? I should not be worrying about this while I'm on clinics. There's enough stuff to worry about during prac. Why did I agree to do this damn presentation. Most people just did a simple pamphlet and I HAD to go off and do a whole research/database Ergonomic thing. It's too late to back out now, the presentation was in less than 2 hours.

So I caught the bus and ended to the city to do a presentation for the Ergonomic Society's Annual General meeting. These were really experienced Ergonomist who would not hesistate to question me. I should've thought longer about the audience before I had agreed to do this. It must've been shock that took over when I accepted the invitation.

By the time I got to the city, I was feeling quite confident. The content of my presentation was good and it was a sincerely interesting and relevant topic. That was the problem. I was worried that I wouldn't live up to the hype. If you weren't a member of the Ergonomic society, you actually had to pay to hear me talk. WOW...That will probably never happen again. I know, I'm such a novice.

Well it went better than I could've ever expected. I was not even an ounce nervous, probably because I didn't know anyone and probably would never see them again. I was more nervous during my class presentation and in front of my placement supervisors than I was that day. It was incredible and kinda cool to be on the receiving end of being "the guest speaker". They even gave me a gift card and a bottle of wine.

In hindsight I'm glad I did it and will classify it as a top achievement for such a small component of my program.
