Pregnant with apprehension

Yesterday I had a
meeting with a postdoc
collaborator and his boss,
who I had not met yet, and
my boss. I was dreading being
at the meeting in my tired and
nauseous state, and having to
justify to everyone who is
important why they
should work
with me.

But, I carefully monitored what I ate, and drank just a bit of caffeine 2 hours before the meeting and prepared the best I could, and was feeling great when meeting time rolled around. When I showed up, I found out my boss had been at work until 12 AM dealing with a tense situation and had to get up at 6 so she was a little tired, his boss looked exhausted, and my poor friend was getting over a bout of terrible food poisoning from the night before!! I think it's safe to say I was the only one at the meeting NOT feeling exhausted and/or nauseous!



I think I can do this. :)
