My Life in Gif Format

One of these days I'll stop disappearing unexpectedly. One of these days.

But in the interim, you want to know what I think of my life right now?

Ah, Speech. It drove me insane last year too. I was amazed how much fucking writing was involved. Mother fucking outlines, sources, and then actual speech. ugh. Do you have to cite sources during your speeches? My instructor made us have like 10 different sources and each time we used information from one in the speech, we had to cite the title, author, date, and publisher. I made our speeches sound fucking stupid, constantly repeating that shit, and he would not let use our own opinions either. Say a sentence, repeat source, say a sentence, tell the source...*headdesk*

I used to have to write speeches that way, but the speech I gave this morning was for a work thing and didn't need to have all that research. My agony came from not being brilliant at coming up with good topics on very short notice (I'm used to having about two weeks' notice), and then writing them on short notice is even more miserable for my perfectionist self. XD

I do remember having to do cited speeches though. They were not even a little fun. :\

Those are some great gifs, especially the Futurama one! Hopefully your speech went well. Printers and scanning can be an absolute royal pain, especially with regards to sizing. You'd think someone would have figured out how to make better ones, but apparently not yet.

I love that Futurama one. I don't get to whip it out nearly often enough for my tastes.

It did, thank you! I spoke too fast (which is my biggest problem) but the speech went well enough. I'd have had a better one with more time to prepare, but that was to be expected.

YES. I don't generally mind it - mindless, tedious work in the middle of the week is a nice break for my brain and the area is secluded and quiet, so I can bring a book and read while I scan so long as it doesn't slow me down - but when the scanner stops doing what I want it to do or all of my documents need to be split (which requires renaming every section with a long string of numbers) it can get frustrating fast.
