I am going to toot my own horn for a minute. Partially because the feedback seems so incredibly absurd to me.
This morning I gave a presentation at a national student conference on Building Commissioning. I am not a fan of presentations. Not because I don't like to do them, but I don't like to prepare for them. It was everything I could do to make a power point for my presentation. When the marketing department got it they actually said, "seriously". Thanks to them I didn't look like a complete schmuck.
I presented to students and professors. I got three offers to be a guest lecturer in engineering classes. One of them even said I was a born presenter. Ummm...no. One of the students asked if he could intern for me, because I seem cool. Again...no...not cool either. I am an engineer for crying out loud. Cool and engineer is an oxymoron.
The local university has been trying to get me to be on the faculty for years as a practicing professional professor. Maybe I should think about it. I don't have enough going on right now, do I? Maybe now would be a good time to change careers!!
