100 Words (Sept 08): Day 16

The presentation itself was uneventful. In one of the smaller conference rooms, a sparse crowd listened with polite attention to the case I laid out for my technique. A few over-achievers in the front rows scribbled page after page of meticulous notes as I stepped through two dozen slides. By the time I prodded my sleepy A/V assistant to bring the lights up for the Q&A, only those few remained, except for one fellow seated near the back.

I fielded a few softball questions. None of these Ph.D. hopefuls had raised any objections that I hadn’t already anticipated and overcome.


Note: See But Wait! There’s More…. for an explanation of the 100 Words project. Read the previous installment or the next one.
