One of the big reviews this week goes okay. On Tuesday I present to the customer and do a reasonable job. It wasn't my best presentation by far and it wasn't my worst. I'm out of practice! But my coworkers and the customer seem to think that I did fairly well so I'll take it.
On Wednesday another set of customers is present and though I don't present, I still hang around and offer assistance where possible.
On Wednesday I am blue - probably because of the rain. I get home and rent "Best In Show" - a video about dog owners going to a big dog show. It is funny and makes me laugh. But I see myself in the video as Cookie - the owner who keeps running into guys from her past who stop her and say, "I remember banging you in the park" or "I remember banging you in the back of the restaurant".
Wednesday I face reality. The doctor has wanted me to start on a "trailing edge" prescription of antibiotics. And I have put it off until "...at least after 2/12 because I hate the bad things that they do to me and I want to feel well for the presentations and customer reviews". The doctor likes talking with me because I usually know what I am talking about. So I continue on with, "If I'm going to do one of your trailing edge antibiotic therapies, then I also want monoclonal antibodies. They help target the receptor sites on the surface of the cells." We have a good discussion but I don't get the monoclonal antibodies. Will I start tomorrow or won't I? I haven't decided yet.
